The sheds where hazardous incinerable waste is stored should have flame-proof electrical fittings

There should be a distance of at least 15 metres between storage sheds and four metres between stacked storage containers or drums for fire tenders

Approach to the storage area should have enough space for fork-lifting drums and for fire fighting equipment

No drums should be opened within the storage sites

Drums should be lined with an appropriate material that does not react with the stored waste

Not more than three drums should be stacked over each other. They should be separated by wooden palettes.

Proper measures should be taken to avoid collapsing of stacks

A label on each drum should specify the characteristics of the waste and where it has come from
