I think you will need to provide more info to get an answer, namely, how much (1L in a lab or 10tonns on a chemical plant) and in which country.
DSEAR and COMAH may apply in the UK.

It's in the UK but apart from that, that's all I've been told.
Quantity - not known - potentially quite a bit
Location - not known - probably a warehouse site but can't be sure.
I'm aware of the Regs you mention but wondered if anyone out there knew of any specific guidance that has been produced regarding this substance - be it by HSE / a Fire Authority / Industry code etc - I can then see what it says and apply the relevant Regs once further detail comes through.
I'm just trying to get in first with requirements to make sure those that make the decisions are aware of what's necessary from the start rather than having to do remedial works (and costs) later on down the line.
Cheers

Just to throw a hat into the ring... also consider and ensure if it comes under the laws that deems that you should register with HMG if you decant ethanol or alcohol for use in products? Think it's a customs/tax thing
