When Bob Hill and I were working on our lab safety textbook we tried to surf government websites (as much and as successfully as we could) since you don't need permission for
government images/tables/etc. We included a picture from the EPA (Figure 8.1.1.1 in our book, second edition) that isn't exactly what you want, but may suffice. The source URL is:
http://www2.epa.gov/emergency-response/emergency-response-and-management-activities#winter2014
You'll have to scroll down to the "Winter 2014" link and expand that entry. (Fifth image.)
Otherwise you can access all of the figures and tables in our book at:

Download the PowerPoint for Chapter 8; first slide. Our full citation is:

Subject: [DCHAS-L] picture request - consequences of poor chemical storage
Hi everybody!
Does anybody out there have a stock picture, or a picture from one of your storage areas from when you FIRST took over handling chemical storage and you found the YUCK? You know the cracked bottles, the spills, the "scary" stuff that looks
terrible? Or possibly even a picture of an incident that resulted from poor storage?
FYI I am just looking for a picture to put in a text book we are writing, you will get credit for the picture. If you have a "Before" and "After" picture that would be great too! Don't worry, the picture will include a line in there that
it has since been remedied so no one will get the impression that it is still this way.
I have dug through the pictures I have taken over the years and can't find anything that looks like "consequences" of poor storage other than some jars of hygroscopics that had liquified.
Thanks everybody!
