Storing and transporting unwanted chemicals

Handle and transport chemicals carefully.

Never mix chemicals as this may produce dangerous reactions.
Wherever possible keep all chemicals in their original containers.
Ensure containers are clearly labelled and well-sealed. If you do not know the contents, label the container 'unknown chemical'.
Liquid can leak during transport: wrap containers holding liquids securely in newspaper, place in sturdy plastic bags and then in plastic buckets or trays.
Keep household chemicals away from passengers, for example, by placing them in the boot of your car.
