HSE-Approved Bunded Chemical & Pesticide Stores

Why HSE Compliance Matters

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the UK’s governing body for workplace safety, setting regulations to ensure hazardous substances like chemicals and pesticides are stored securely.

Following HSE guidelines protects:
✔ Your staff from exposure to dangerous substances
✔ The public by preventing leaks and contamination
✔ The environment from harmful chemical spills

Failure to comply can lead to heavy fines and legal consequences.
