Pharmaceuticals are humanity’s saving grace. Without advances in modern medicine, civilization would’ve succumbed to the ravages of disease centuries ago. Even today, pharmaceutical companies are racing against the clock to distribute the much anticipated COVID19 vaccine. Despite their potency for fighting deadly viruses, pharmaceuticals pose inherent risks. Pharmaceutical companies handle a battery of hazardous materials that can have a host of nasty side effects if not properly stored. The same precursor chemicals that help us recover from illness can also be detrimental to our health. U.S. Hazmat Storage has a line of steel-gauge chemical storage buildings to negate these risks, so that companies can achieve better living through chemistry.
Fire-rated chemical storage lockers can prevent flash blazes and leaks
The long-lasting effects from improper storage is a tough pill to swallow. A Taiwanese pharmaceutical company is still reeling from the side effects of improper storage after an employee died following an explosion within the plant. The worker suffered burns to 80 to 90 percent of his body. An investigation into the blast revealed that a persistent chemical leak played a party in the duration of the fire. Such gross negligence is inexcusable. A family is now facing the harsh reality of continue living without their loved one. As a cruel twist of fate, they likely understand that his death was totally preventable. This unsuspecting employee paid the ultimate price trying to cultivate cures for sick individuals because his company failed to invest in proper storage. A chemical storage building could’ve easily been the antidote to the ills of improper storage.
Chemical storage buildings are the ointment to the burns of improper storage
The news account detail the man’s death alluded to a chemical leak in a sewer as a contributing factor to the blaze. Although we don’t know which classification of chemical leaked from the plant, it’s safe to assume that it was a flammable material. U.S Hazmat Storage’s chemical storage buildings are equipped with a continuous steel-grated floor sump system that can safely collect leaks. If a chemical was to spill from the shelving within our storage lockers, the material would safe pass through the grated floor into a sump container where it will remain until it can be safely removed.
