One of a series of Approved Codes with accompanying guidance aligned to a specific part of the wider Regulations it supports. This particular document reflects regulations 5 and 6 and accordingly advises on how employers must meet the requirements by assessing the risks from, and the control and mitigation measures for, any places where dangerous substances are stored.

Includes the safe disposal of waste materials. Applicable to employers and self-employed at most workplaces in Great Britain where a dangerous substance is, or could be, present. Styled presentation (eg bold, italics, colour-coding) enables easy distinction between texts pertaining to the Regulations, the Approved Code or additional guidance.
