Need to know from allof you what care is taken while storing inflammable & dangerous powders in factories.

What is distance maintained between 2 bins storing these powders, IS THERE open space around these bins etc.

Local laws in India do not say much about storage of inflammable or hazardous powders.

Hi prabuddha,

There are British and Australian Standards for the storage of Flammable Goods. These go into all those matters.

Talk to the Fire Department, or Fire Insurance Company. Alternatively contact the Australian Standards Association.
