Sun protection and temperature control in hazardous chemical facilities
Thread Content
Article 16 of the Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals stipulates that those who produce, store, or use hazardous chemicals shall, depending on the type and properties of such chemicals, install appropriate sun protection and temperature control safety facilities and equipment in workplaces such as workshops and warehouses. Such facilities and equipment must be maintained and serviced in accordance with relevant standards and regulations to ensure compliance with safety requirements. Dear sea friends, please talk about the specific measures taken in your respective organizations.
Our company has a dedicated storage warehouse for hazardous chemicals, equipped with heating in winter and ventilation fans in summer.
Sun protection is carried out in specialized storage areas, and temperature control is achieved through equipment such as heaters and fans.

Fixed-roof tanks or pressure storage tanks for Class A and B liquids, except for crude oil tanks with insulation layers, should be equipped with fixed cooling water spray systems or other facilities to protect them from sunlight； 2. Liquid products in barrels or bottles that are flammable should not be stored outdoors ； 3. When portable containers (such as bottles and barrels) for Class A and B liquids are stored outdoors, sunshades or water spray (fog) systems should be installed ； 4. Temperature and humidity meters should be installed in the hazardous chemicals storage area (self-recording temperature and humidity meters can be used in key storage areas), and readings should be taken and recorded at regular intervals as specified. Are the temperature and humidity levels in various hazardous chemical storage areas in line with the following requirements? Temperature and Humidity Conditions, Category, Product Name, Temperature, °C, Relative Humidity, %, Remarks: Explosives: Black ** compounds – ≤32, ≤80; those using water as a stabilizer – ≥1, <80. Compressed gases and liquefied gases: Flammable, non-flammable, toxic – ≤30. Flammable liquids: Low flash point – ≤29; medium-high flash point – ≤37. Flammable solids: Flammable solids – ≤35; cellulose nitrate esters – ≤25, ≤80; safety matches – ≤35, ≤80; red phosphorus, phosphorus sulfide, aluminum powder – ≤35, <80. Self-igniting substances: Yellow phosphorus – >1; hydrocarbon metal compounds – ≤30, ≤80; oil-containing products – ≤32, ≤80. Substances that become flammable when exposed to moisture: Such substances – ≤32, ≤75. Oxidizers and organic peroxides: Oxidizers and organic peroxides – ≤30, ≤80; sodium peroxide, magnesium, calcium, etc. – ≤30, ≤75; zinc nitrate, calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, etc. – ≤28, ≤75. Bagged acids such as nitric acid and sodium nitrite – ≤30, ≤75. Bagged aqueous salt solutions – >1; crystalline manganese nitrate – <25. Benzoyl peroxide – 2–25. Organic oxidizers containing stabilizers such as butyl peroxide – ≤25
