Posted By Neil Koskie I have a question which has a H&S / environmental overlap: We are a chemical manufacturer and we store finished product in bulk storage tanks (apporx 100,000 litres each) before being sent to our customers. Due to the expansion of our company, we are thinking of adding some more storage tanks. The only available position we can site them is at the front of the warehouse building which is on an access road used by our staff and also by another couple of companies. The road is frequently used by cars, large wagons and forklift trucks. The siting position will be on our land but there is no real boundary marked as to where our site ends and the access road begins. My question is this - does anyone know of any guidance which refers to the siting of bulk storage tanks, especially due to the nature of where they will be located. I am thinking in terms of both the safety and environmental points of view. I am familiar with the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) Regs, I am more concerned with the location of the tanks and the control measures we will need to put into place. Any comments would be most welcome. Neil
