Remove gloves immediately after handling pest control articles and wash hands. Ensure pest control articles are not stored in ISO class environments, other than those strategically placed in storage areas. Report promptly any pests or evidence of pest infestation. Store chemicals in the appropriate storage based on their required storage conditions, required closure and any required special condition. Ensure segregation of chemicals according to their chemical properties and required environmental controls; different physical areas are required for the following: Chemical Storage Storage Area Required Identified and Physically Separated Sections Minimum Storage Area Requirements Current Non-Hazardous Chemical Inventory ISO 8 environment (minimum) Quarantined Rejected Inventory No primary engineering control is Non-Hazardous Quarantined Returned Inventory present in the same room as Quarantined Recalled Inventory inventory. Current Hazardous Chemical Inventory Negative pressure Strong Acids Strong Bases ISO 8 environment Quarantined Rejected Inventory Externally vented Hazardous Quarantined Returned Inventory 12 air changes per hour Quarantined Recalled Inventory Flammable Chemicals Flammable Storage Cabinet Negative pressure Current Antineoplastic Agent Chemical Inventory Quarantined Rejected Inventory ISO 8 environment Antineoplastic Quarantined Returned Inventory Externally vented Quarantined Recalled Inventory 12 air changes per hour Store chemicals in a manner that minimizes risk of breakage and leakage. Store sterile chemical containers in Ziploc bags or airtight containers. Place larger/heavy chemical containers on lower shelves and smaller/lighter chemicals containers on higher shelves. Ensure no chemical containers are stored directly on the floor. Ensure no shelved containers can be hanging over the edge of storage shelves.
