Could anyone signpost me please to information on safe storage of aerosols, without the need to purchase the BAMA's £60 guide!!
We are planning to store about 6-8 shrinkwrapped pallets of aerosols.
Any signposts/help would be appreciated

The level of protection will depend on what is in the aerosols. Non-flammable contents and non-flammable propellant is the least (fire) hazardous, whilst low flash point contents and propellant (eg hair lacquer) represent a 6-8 ton firebomb awaiting ignition. There are several spectacular videos on the Net of fires where aerosols have been involved and a simple search should be enough to frighten you!
£60 seems negligible when set against the cost of the loss of a business.
Your fire insurers will have an opinion.

Good advice from David.
I just looked and the HSE have done circulars "The filling and storage of aerosols with flammable propellants" - have a look
HSG 71 and DSEAR Regs should also give pointers
