Dangerous chemicals and hazardous materials are often part of daily operations on industrial work sites. While these substances are essential to keep things running smoothly, they can also pose significant health risks if not handled or stored correctly.
At Enviro-Pads, our hazardous material containment units can store many different substances, including acids, fuel, solvents, glycol, chemical by-products, and more. Keep reading to learn more about how effective hazardous material containment can improve the safety of your operation and how Enviro-Pads can customize a solution that works perfectly for you.
What is Hazardous Material Containment?
Hazardous material containment refers to the systems and products used to safely store and manage hazardous materials and prevent leaks, spills, and other dangerous breaches. For example, hazardous material containment might include placing oil barrels within a structure or system designed to handle accidental leaks. This prevents harmful materials from spreading or cross-contaminating other materials on your job site.
Enviro-Pads’s hazardous storage units are proactive alternatives to traditional spill containment. They are designed to safely house dangerous materials and fluids and alleviate environmental concerns. Our units typically store chemicals, oil barrels, and tanks. They can also easily be used as refuelling stations.
Key Features of Hazardous Material Containment
Materials
When selecting a hazardous containment unit, you should consider what material it is made of and whether it is compatible with the environment or needs of your worksite.
For example, if your storage unit will be housed outside, opt for a strong and weather-resistant material, such as steel. Steel and stainless steel units are also ideal for flammable and volatile substances due to their fire-resistant properties.
Portability
While permanent and long-term job sites may choose to use permanent or fixed hazardous material cabinets for storage, some sites may prefer the flexibility of a portable storage unit, which can easily be moved to fit the changing needs of your worksite.
With forklift tubes and lifting eyes, our hazardous storage unit can easily be installed, moved, or removed, depending on the needs of your operation.
