【Series Discussions on Haichuan Hazardous Waste Warehouses】Requirements for Setting Up Hazardous Waste Warehouses

The setup of hazardous waste storage facilities must meet the following requirements: 1. Hazardous waste storage areas should adhere to the principles of preventing dispersion, loss, and leakage. 2. At the entrance of the hazardous waste storage facility, the words “Hazardous Waste Storage Facility” should be clearly displayed in a prominent location (in yellow on a black background, in a rectangular shape of 30cm x 15cm), and hazard warning signs should also be installed. 3. The responsibility system for environmental pollution prevention and control should be posted on the wall. 4. The production process flow chart should be posted on the wall, with the steps that generate hazardous waste indicated on it. 5. Prepare a catalog of hazardous waste. 6. A cofferdam, diversion channels should be installed at the entrance of the hazardous waste storage area, and the ground should be made impermeable. 7. Hazardous waste must be stored in a classified and zoned manner, with clear separation markers between different types of waste, such as fences or boundary lines marked on the ground. Post signs on the walls of each type of storage area, and post signs on each type of item. 8. A scale should be placed in the hazardous waste storage area, with a label for the scale posted on the wall. Place a fire extinguisher. 9. Keep an inventory ledger for the storage of hazardous waste.

There are unified international regulations regarding hazardous waste storage facilities and the installation of warning signs or labels for such waste; for details, refer to: \"Graphic Symbols for Environmental Protection\" (GB 15562.2) and \"Pollution Control Standards for Hazardous Waste Storage\" (GB 18597).

I’m not sure; maybe we shouldn’t require an axial flow fan and a drainage ditch

It is not mandatory to install an axial flow fan; however, guide channels must be set up to collect and treat the fluid, with discharge outside being prohibited.

Can windows really be installed in hazardous waste storage areas? I don’t see any explicit requirements in the GB18597-2013 Standards for Pollution Control of Hazardous Waste Storage. There is now a change to remove the windows, and the graphics review team has requested documentation to support this

If the standard does not require it, it can be turned on or off. In fact, the hazardous waste storage area is equipped with forced ventilation, so it’s fine even if the windows are not opened.
