Hazardous Materials and Flammable Storage Reviews

​

Our hazardous materials reviews confirm that flammable and combustible substances are stored, handled, and segregated safely in line with NFPA and IBC requirements.

 

Each review identifies hazards that may increase the potential for fire, explosion, or release during storage or maintenance operations. We assess control areas, maximum allowable quantities (MAQs), and emergency provisions for both new and existing facilities.

 

Our reviews include:

• Inventory and material classification by hazard and NFPA rating

• Verification of separation distances and control area limits

• Assessment of storage cabinets, tanks, and secondary containment

• Review of ventilation, spill control, and drainage

• Inspection of electrical equipment and ignition source control

• Evaluation of emergency response provisions and signage

• Recommendations for code-compliant improvements and layout changes

 

Reports are written for contractors, property managers, and safety officers, providing straightforward, actionable steps for compliance and enforcement readiness.

 

We also support pre-design and construction phases by reviewing proposed storage layouts or tenant improvements to confirm compliance before occupancy.

 

Code-based, construction-informed advice that keeps operations safe, efficient, and compliant.
