If the drums are in storage or use almost all fire codes mandate they have spill containment. So if they come in on a pallet and it takes you a few hours to get them to approved storage that may be ok but when in storage they need spill containment.

Hello,

Our new unopened drums are stored on a wood palette until they are needed. A colleague recently suggested that new unopened drums should be stored on a spill containment platform instead of the palette. However, I have visited plenty of facilities where new unopened drums are stored directly on the concrete floor. Is there a rule on this? Where can I find it?

Also, there's some debate as to whether or not new unopened drums need to be grounded while in storage?

Thanks,

Yaritza Brinker
