Wood preservation facilities, inorganic boron: chapter I, table 11

Table 11. Additional Recommended Design Features for Chemical Storage Areas

Storage format: Borates (bags)
Objective: To provide sheltered, secure, fire-protected storage of borate solids

Design feature	Recommendations
Shelter	Provide storage in an enclosed, secure area, segregated from other chemicals (design to prevent infiltrating precipitation). Note: moisture leads to caking of borate. Design to prevent fire in storage areas (use of non-combustible construction materials is preferred).
Containment / clean-up	Provide a vacuum cleaner with a filter capable of filtering particles 1 micrometer in diameter or smaller for cleanup of solids spilled during unloading and transfer operations.
