Flammable Liquids Storage: Regulations, Safety, and Effective Solutions.

The storage of flammable liquids is one of the most critical operations in industrial and chemical logistics. Their highly hazardous nature demands maximum attention, strict safety measures, and full compliance with specific regulations.
Any mistake in handling, container selection, or operational procedures can result in serious accidents, harm to people, and legal penalties.

In this article, we explore why flammable liquids storage is so critical, which regulations apply, the main safety procedures, and why relying on professionals such as Corsini Logistica & Trasporti is essential.
 

Why Flammable Liquids Storage Is a Critical Issue

Flammable liquids pose a high risk of fire, explosion, or environmental contamination. Proper management is not only about ensuring personnel safety but also about protecting facilities, transport vehicles, and the surrounding environment.

Flammable liquids storage must therefore ensure:

• Isolation of hazardous materials from heat sources or sparks
• Adequate ventilation to reduce vapor concentration
• Containment of any spills or accidental leaks

Only through suitable structural and operational measures can risks be minimized and the safe management of flammable liquids be guaranteed.
 

Regulations on Flammable Liquids Storage

In Italy, flammable liquids storage is governed by national, regional, and local regulations designed to ensure workplace safety and prevent fires.

Key references include:

• Legislative Decree of 14 August 2015, No. 150 (Consolidated Safety Act), which establishes measures for managing hazardous substances, including flammable liquids.
• Ministerial Decree of 9 May 2001, No. 216, which provides specific rules for fire prevention related to flammable materials.
• UNI EN 14470-1, which defines safety requirements for cabinets used to store chemical substances, ensuring protection and efficiency.

Regional and local regulations may also introduce additional requirements to further strengthen flammable liquids storage safety.
