Warehouses or Storage Buildings

Warehouses or storage buildings are sometimes referred to as outside storage rooms. Practically any quantity of flammable and combustible liquid can be stored in these buildings provided that they are stored in a configuration consistent with the tables in the OSHA Standard.

Containers in piles shall be separated by pallets or dunnage where necessary to provide stability and to prevent excessive stress on container walls.

Stored material shall not be piled within 3 feet of beams or girders and shall be at least 3 feet below sprinkler deflectors or discharge orifices of water spray, or other fire protection equipment.

Aisles to access doors, windows or standpipe connections shall be maintained to a width of at least 3 feet.
