How to Store Chemicals and Hazardous Materials
Construction sites may house anything from acids and other caustic substances, to paints and glues, to heavy metals, solvents, or volatile liquids. While the types of substances differ from one site to the next, one thing they all have in common is the need to store and handle all materials safely and securely.
