Were can I find regulations on the storage of chemicals and necessary safe guards, are there HSE regulations that need to be adhered to. From what I have heard it's minimal at best, anyway I have taken this quote from Lee Bussy can anybody add any more to look out for. I have three separate storage buildings all with fireproof storage lockers.

 

• "General" oxidizers like KNO3, perc, BaNO3, NaNO3, SrNO3 are grouped together.
  * "Specialty" oxidizers like sulfates, dichromate are grouped together
  * My chlorates are grouped together
  * My AP is all by itself
  * "Metals" are together. This includes metal salts, carbonates, anmd other compounds like copper oxychloride, oxides, etc.
  * Finally, fuels are grouped together and this includes my chlorine donors and binders

 

What is anmd, I’m sure I will kick myself when somebody tells me. Edit, I think it's typo, kick....

Most HSE guidelines/rules apply to storage on a large scale and common sense should generally be used along with knowledge of incompatibilities. However there are plenty of guides on the HSE books website.

 

Here are a few

Thanks Digger, that will keep me busy for a while, more curious than anything and I like doing research.
