Storage Safety Guidelines

These storage guidelines provide tips to ensure a safe storage environment. Cabinets should be securely attached to walls and each other to allow for easy document retrieval. Filing cabinet handles should be closed carefully to avoid finger injuries. Proper ladders or step stools should be used instead of standing on chairs or desks. Walkways must be kept clear of clutter and potential trip hazards identified like loose flooring. Electrical equipment should be switched off when not in use and long-term storage documents sent to an approved external facility.
