The storage of chemical products in refrigerators requires special safety precautions, especially when handling chemicals and dangerous substances. Containment pallets are the most suitable for use for this purpose, as they guarantee a safer and more organized environment. Therefore, they are recommended by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for the storage of chemical products in refrigerators.
See below how to store inputs and chemical products in refrigerators more safely and respecting health surveillance standards.
Know the provisions of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
The Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards cover a set of measures from the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) that must be adopted by the food industries, in order to guarantee the sanitary quality and compliance of foods with technical regulations.
According to GMP regulations, chemical products used in refrigerators – such as SH6000 soap, metabisulfite, chlorite, citric acid and acetic acid – must be stored in isolated rooms and in suitable and safe containers.
PL062 plastic containment pallets are the most suitable for handling and separating these products, as they prevent the spillage of dangerous and flammable liquids and eliminate the risk of contamination of the environment and people who handle these products.
Characteristics such as greater resistance to corrosion, impacts or the effects of time make these products the most suitable for use in the transport of chemical products and in industrial activities.
Therefore, Tecnotri containment pallets have been used with results in the industrialization of beef jerky in Santana do Parnaíba and Lins by the JBS group, one of the largest food companies in the world, which controls brands such as Swift and Friboi.

containment pallet are used to contain leaks of chemical and flammable liquids. This product consists of a type of basin that accumulates spills caused by possibly damaged containers.
The containment pallets are arranged underneath the drums and gallons containing chemicals to prevent spillage or leakage of chemicals. These products are able to prevent spilled liquid from reaching the ground or coming into contact with people.
Another important benefit is that containment pallets enable the reuse of spilled liquid, as it is stored on the pallets. In this way, these products facilitate storage and allow much safer handling of chemical substances, in addition to reducing operational costs and avoiding waste.

The rotomolded plastic pallet is smooth, resistant and cleanable, as its structure does not require fins and reinforcements that create edges that are difficult to clean. This product is monobloc, light and easy to move, resistant and 100% recyclable. Furthermore, containment pallets are easy to clean and can be moved with forklifts or pallet jacks.
Another important benefit of containment pallets is that they are produced in yellow and orange colors, suitable for security areas. Furthermore, they have different formats and models, favoring organization and practicality in the work environment.
Tecnotri produces a complete line of rotomolded plastic products in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), OSHA 40 CFR 264 AND ISO 4001 specifications.
As we have seen, the use of containment pallets for handling and storing chemical products in cold stores allows for greater efficiency in operations and greater safety for people and the environment, eliminating the risk of spills and contamination.
