3.1.3.1.1
Dedicated Storage Facilities
Purpose: Dedicated storage facilities ensure that chemicals and hazardous substances are stored safely in appropriate locations. This prevents cross-contamination, accidental spills, and reduces the risk of exposure to harmful substances for workers, animals, and the environment.
Poor Outcome:
Chemicals are stored improperly, increasing the risk of spills, contamination, and exposure to hazardous materials. This leads to unsafe working conditions, environmental damage, and potential legal consequences.
Expected Outcome:
Chemicals and hazardous substances are stored in dedicated, compliant storage facilities that minimize the risk of exposure and contamination. Workers are trained in proper storage practices, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
Excellent Outcome:
Advanced, automated storage facilities with monitoring systems are used to manage chemical storage. The farm experiences near-zero incidents of contamination or spills, and workers are fully trained in handling and storage best practices, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency.
