Chemicals in food premises should be stored in a separate, designated area away from food products and food preparation areas to prevent contamination. All chemicals must be kept in clearly labelled containers with appropriate safety information, including hazard warnings. The storage area should be secure from unauthorized access and well-ventilated, with staff regularly trained on safe handling and storage procedures. It's essential never to store chemicals near or above food or food-contact surfaces and to avoid using food containers for chemical storage. Compliance with relevant safety standards and keeping safety data sheets accessible are also important for safe chemical management in food premises.
