Posted By DaGuru Does anyone know of a company that will store flammable liquids for organisations? We have a volume on-site and would like to store it off-site, only bringing what we need on-site at any given week. Im kinda struggling to find anyone that offers this service. Im in the Glasgow area. Thank you in advance.

Posted By Kate Gibb I can't think of any companies off the top of my head unfortunately, but some transport/warehousing companies will store flammable substances for you - however whether they will depends on a) whether their hazardous substance consent will allow them to store the additional substances, and b) whether it would affect their COMAH status. I imagine there would be a significant charge either way! It might be worth checking with the Chemical Industries Association - they may be able to identify some companies within your area. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but hey at least I put the topic back to the top of the dicussion board! Kate

Posted By Ian Blenkharn Why not ask the supplier, and in future arrange a call-off purchase agreement to avoid future problems?

Posted By DaGuru Yes management are looking into a 'just in time' supply, but due to cost and the way things are ran it looks unlikely to be the solution. Hence why looking into getting a 3rd party to store locally (ish) and we can take where an when required. Thank you for your feedback.......Im all googled up!

Posted By D. Hilton probably an increased risk of release due to increased frequency of delivery
