Handling Operations at Storage Sites
Handling operations that involve placing ammunition in storage facilities, removing ammunition from
storage facilities, or re-warehousing require observance of the precautions and practices that follow.
Before Storage Operations. Before storage operations are begun, proper fire symbols, chemical
hazard symbols, or both, must be posted at the location. Fire barrels and pails or other water-type fire-
fighting equipment will be present. If the storage structure is a double-door type, both doors must be
open and be clear of vehicles, ammunition, or anything else that may hinder the operation.
During Storage Operations. When handling operations at the storage site are in progress,
established personnel limits will be observed. All personnel will use protective clothing and equipment
as directed. Damaged containers will be repaired or replaced at least 90 feet away from the storage
location.
After Storage Operations. When handling operations at the storage site are complete, the area inside
and outside the storage structure must be left in a high state of police. Excess dunnage, dunnage
scraps, tools, paint, conveyors, and pallet trucks will be removed from the area. Doors will be secured.
