Hello,

Our new unopened drums are stored on a wood palette until they are needed. A colleague recently suggested that new unopened drums should be stored on a spill containment platform instead of the palette. However, I have visited plenty of facilities where new unopened drums are stored directly on the concrete floor. Is there a rule on this? Where can I find it?

Also, there's some debate as to whether or not new unopened drums need to be grounded while in storage?

Thanks,

Yaritza Brinker
