Periodically check hazardous product containers for deterioration and possible leaks. Check periodically to be sure that labels on hazardous products are secure and readable. Store hazardous products on high shelves or in locked cabinets to prevent poisoning of children and pets. Do not store flammable liquids such as gasoline and kerosene in a garage or utility room attached to the house. Never store flammable liquids or even a lawn mower filled with gasoline near a heat source such as gas water heaters, furnaces, radiators, space heaters, etc.
Spontaneous combustion can occur if the flammable liquid vapors escape.
Store incompatible products in separate locations so they will not come in contact with each other. Label the shelves where flammable products are stored. Store hazardous materials in a metal cabinet to protect them from fire. Dry off containers that get wet in a flood. Move them off damp shelves until the shelf material has dried thoroughly.
