In this paper, we discuss a novel approach to chemical storage based on the physical properties of the chemicals (reactivity, solid or liquid, and volume) and the intrinsic hazards associated with a chemical as identified by the hazard statements. These are indicated on a substance’s safety data sheet (SDS), for example, oxidizing, flammability, toxicity, and compatibility with other chemicals. We introduce a flowchart to identify appropriate storage locations for each chemical in the laboratory and describe what amendments could be needed to our system if it is replicated at another institution. We describe the advantages of using a chemical inventory system and how it was integrated with our storage guidance. Finally, we provide insights and share lessons learnt on maintaining good chemical management.
