In industrial environments, the storage and transport of chemical and flammable liquids pose constant risks. Fortunately, they are also controllable, especially with thehelp of the right containment containers.
Efficient allies, they prevent accidental leaks from spreading, causing environmental damage or compromising the physical integrity of who operates on site.
In addition, they contribute to compliance with NR 20 and other regulatory standards, which govern the safe handling of these substances.
Next, understand more about the subject and discover how Tecnotri’s containment solutions stand out in the market!
What are containment basins?
Also known as containment pallets, these are structures that act as physical barriers against the spillage of substances.
Produced from the most diverse materials, including rotomolded plastic, they are placed under drums, drums or tanks, ready to retain any liquid that accidentally escapes.
What is a containment basin for?
Its main function is clear: to contain the unexpected. The impact of this measure, however, goes even further.
By preventing the leakageof dangerous elements, the containment basin protects the health of employees and ensures compliance with technical and environmental standards, such as NR 20.
In addition, it prevents waste and loss of raw materials, a strategic advantage for operations that deal with high-cost products.
Thus, it contributes to efficiency, safety, compliance and sustainability in the industrial routine of pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, textiles, among others.
Easy to install and move, they adapt well to storage, loading and unloading areas, filling points and temporary storage, with mobility to keep up with the pace of demands without requiring changes to the plant layout.
What does NR 20 say about containment systems?
Regulatory Standard No. 20 deals with safety when working with flammable and combustible materials, focusing on preventing explosions, fires and contamination.
In this sense, it requires the implementation of processes and documents favored by the use of containment systems, such as:
- Leak and spill prevention and control plans;
- Standard operating procedures (SOPs);
- Risk analysis and emergency response.
In addition, high-quality pallets and basins also help to meet other important standards, such as:
- OSHA 40 CFR 264, which defines guidelines for the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous waste;
- , which establishes requirements for environmental management systems (EMS), promoting more sustainable practices.
