Chemicals
Where in the shift: cleaning.
The sequence
Store below and separate from product.
Never combine.
Label everything.
And use the manufacturer's dilution.
The decisions
Where chemicals live. Below and separate, always — storage assigned by convenience is a contamination route.
And whether two products can be used together. Some cleaning chemicals are dangerous in combination and the labels are the authority.
What you are reading
The labels.
And the storage.
What goes wrong here
Stored above product.
Decanted into an unlabeled container.
Verification
Look at the storage.
The boundary
Chemical handling, storage, and safety data requirements are governed by applicable safety authorities and by the manufacturers' instructions.
