Other Criteria. For cylinder storage, also observe requirements of
4.1.1.3
the Compressed Gas Association Handbook of Compressed Gases, and Storage and
Handling of Compressed Gases and Gas Cylinders, NAVSUPINST 4440.128B.
Hazardous Materials Storage Facilities. Hazardous materials storage
4.1.2
facilities shall be designed and constructed to offer protection against the
physical, health, or environmental hazards presented by the material. Storage
and handling of hazardous materials shall be confined to buildings or parts of
buildings meeting the requirements of this section. Mixed occupancy buildings
will not house hazardous materials storage and handling operations. Under no
circumstances will office buildings contain hazardous material storage and
Design Criteria. Facility design and layout shall take into
4.1.3
consideration the incompatibility of hazardous materials and hazardous
material groups as described in subparagraph 4.2.2. Further guidance is
provided by the applicable standards of subparagraph 4.1.1. Individual
facility design and layout shall be based upon the specific types and
categories of hazardous materials that are to be handled and stored.
Structural and fire control system design must be approved by a registered
Professional Engineer licensed in Fire Protection Engineering. Perform a
system safety analysis in accordance with Military Standard System Safety
Program Requirements. MIL-STD-882B. as required by Chief of Naval Onerations
and NAVFAC direction. Specific guidance and assistance can be obtained
through NAVFAC.
Storage Requirements. Accommodate the following storage
4.1.4
requirements in the design of flammable/hazardous storage facilities.
a) The storage area shall be designed to prevent surface or
groundwater contamination in the event of a spill or leak, and to capture
completely each class of material individually.
b) In acid or caustic liquid storage, a man-up type vehicle MUST be
used. Otherwise, the liquids must be stored on the floor to keep the loads
below the operator's eye level.
Materials Handling Equipment. Electrically powered materials
4.1.5
handling equipment is the only type of powered material handling equipment
rated for use in hazardous material storage areas. Use Type EE vehicles,
which have all electrical equipment completely enclosed, in flammable and
hazardous materials warehouses. Type EX vehicles, which have all fittings and
equipment designed, constructed, and assembled for use in atmospheres
containing flammable vapors, dust; and fibers, may be required for unique
chemicals or applications. Verify the need for any additional requirements
which may be imposed by special storage conditions.
