Storage systems should be designed to focus on the nature of items to be stored and the capabilities and limitations of the people using the system. Storage should accommodate the size and shape of the item being stored:
Large or heavy items should be stored at easily accessible heights to minimise the demands of manual handling
Smaller, lightweight, and infrequently handled items should be stored in the lower or higher areas
Items carried on a trolley should remain on the trolley while in storage
Flammable, combustible, toxic and other hazardous materials should be stored in approved containers in designated areas that are appropriate for the different hazards that they pose.
Regulations
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 stipulates that hazardous substances must be stored in a way that minimises exposure and risk. There should be specific storage spaces for all COSHH substances. Access to these areas should be restricted to authorised personnel only and stringent security measures must be implemented.
