Chemical Storage
(1) For the purposes of this section, the following terms are being used as defined by OAR 437, Division 2, General Occupational Safety and Health Rules Toxic and Hazardous Substances as amended and in effect November 2, 1999;
(a) Corrosives;
(b) Flammables (aerosol, gas, liquid, and/or solid);
(c) Oxidizers.
(2) For purposes of this section "hazardous" and "segregated in storage" are defined as follows:
(a) "Hazardous" means capable of causing an unplanned, uncontrolled reaction which could present a hazard to practitioners or clients by explosion, fire, release of toxic gases or by-products, or physical or chemical burns; and
(b) "Segregated in storage" means that potentially hazardous chemicals and materials are separated (so as to prevent their mixing with one another through leakage, spillage or breakage) by an adequate distance or through the use of physical barriers such as partitions or separate shelving arrangements.
(3) All facilities, independent contractors and practitioners using chemicals in providing services to clients shall store the chemicals safely to avoid fire, explosion and bodily harm to clients and practitioners:
(a) Flammable chemicals shall be stored remote from potential sources of ignition (e.g., the pilot light of a hot water tank); and
(b) Chemicals which could interact in a hazardous manner (e.g., oxidizers, corrosives and flammables) shall be segregated in storage, in areas where surrounding air temperatures do not exceed 140 degrees Fahrenheit:
(A) Chemical containers holding one gallon or less may be stored in the same area or in the same storage cabinet with materials with which they could react, if one of the following conditions is met:
(i) Containers of reactive chemicals are separated by location or sufficient distance (i.e., at least 12 inches apart or on different shelves) to prevent their reaction; or
(ii) Glass bottles of reactive chemicals are treated to make them break-resistant (e.g., resin-coated) or are stored in rubber buckets or sleeves, or are stored with a partition separating them.
(B) Chemicals which are highly reactive or stored in containers greater than one gallon must be stored in separate cabinets, in safety-valve containers, or in locations isolated from other chemicals;
(C) Chemicals may be stored in containers which the Oregon Department of Transportation has approved for the shipping of those chemicals; and
(D) Chemically related waste or refuse and chemically dampened or saturated towels must be placed in the appropriate fire-retardant containers as stated in OAR 817-010-0035(4) and 817-010-0060.
