Hi,

We are storing around 1500 to 2000 litres of flammable hand santisers in our warehouse ready for distribution. All properly packaged. Can anyone point me in the direction of the most relevant ACOP or guidance covering this topic. We have added a note to our Fire risk assessment, followed storage guidelines from the SDS etc but im not sure if there is anything additonal we need to do..im guessing it may depend on amounts stored?

thanks 1 user thanked stonecold for this useful post.

I hope it's 65 % proof alcohol, the necessary gravity to kill C19. 

Just a thought, it's a flamable liquid in packaging (Class 3), depending on how much is being transported, may need a delivery driver with the ADR paperwork and class 3 markings on the packaging and delivery truck.  I think the maximum is 300 ltrs after which signage is required (used to know this stuff verbatim)
