Hotels are interwoven into the history of civilization. Road weary travelers far and near have relied on these steadfast outposts for shelter and nourishment on countless pilgrimages and excursions. Hotels have served as the relay points for human exploration and expansion. Without hotels as forward-facing bases, humanity would have never dared to test the reliabilities of the Silk Road, which gave birth to early iterations of globalization. Hotels are mankind’s castles and fortresses away from home. They provide solace and comfort on unknown horizons. Hotels continue today as modern oasis for overstressed travelers and salesmen. But like any multipurpose facility, hotels pose several innate threats that must be accounted for. Household cleaners, pool chemicals and incompatible materials can create countless toxic hazards. As a manager or night auditor, you owe it to your guests to provide onsite protection in the form of hotel hazmat storage.
Two guests at an eastern Oregon hotel were hospitalized following a mystery hazmat incident. During the Fourth of July weekend, five people reported breathing problems and vomiting before eventually being hospitalized. Firefighters were unable to pinpoint the source of the invisible fumes or toxins that led to the event. With any notion of “mass hysteria” aside, authorities came up empty handed with any possible scenario that necessitated a response from local hazmat teams. Incidents such as these are not uncommon. Hotels are frequented by many guests who might transport dangerous substances and chemicals to and from lodgings without detection. Hotels are also like mini-towns and like any community it takes a tremendous chemical payload to sterilize and maintain high traffic areas such as beddings, pools, common areas, as well as toilets and showers.
Hotel Hazmat Storage Can Store Pool Chemicals, Industrial Grade Disinfectants and Flammable Materials
Powerful pool chemicals like chlorine and Bromine are necessary to ward of algae, fungi, and viruses. Without these industrial grade cleaners, swimming pools would transform into cesspools overnight. Oxidizers are also powerful decontaminants that must be properly stored in a cool, climate controlled environment. Our line of fire-rated lockers are designed with swimming pools in mine. These venerable lockers can store large quantities of chlorine and bromine through our innovative tote pallet storage system that allows for the easy retrieval of chemicals. Our hotel hazmat storage lockers can be easily located at any hotel (exterior or interior) with no disturbance to surrounding infrastructure or guests.
Partitioned walls also provide complete compartmentalization of incompatible materials. Because each locker can segregate dangerous substances from inert materials, you can use your hazmat storage locker to store almost anything. You could even store an abundance of linens, towels, hotel mints and toiletries in your locker if hotel inventory shelves become overwhelmed.
Chemical Storage Lockers Can Also Protect Large Amounts of Cash on Hand
Because of the ultra-secure nature of hotel hazmat storage lockers, which are nearly impervious to theft and fire, these units are also acceptable for the storage of large quantities of cash on hand. Like a bank, restaurant or other major business, hotels conduct dozens of transactions daily. Instead of investing in a separate (and overly priced) vault or safe, consider the duality of chemical storage and monetary protection offered by our hazmat storage lockers.
