There are specific rules for storing these substances in an HSL, depending on the type of HSL. These specific rules for HSLs are:

ToxicInhalation Hazard Zone list

For an HSL that is a package store (other than an indoor storage cabinet), the level of secondary containment necessary is stipulated in Section 13.30 of the HSWR Regulations 2017 – see table below.

Secondary containment is required when storing toxic substances below the threshold amounts (therefore outside an HSL), and on a farm. On farms you must ensure spills will not reach any protected place, waterway or boundary with another property.

Class 6hazmat

These are substances known or reasonably expected to contain pathogens. Pathogens are defined as micro-organisms (including bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi) and other agents such as prions, which can cause disease in humans or animals.

When storing Class 6.1A, 6.1B and 6.1C substances in quantities above the following thresholds, a hazardous substance location (HSL) must be established:

If there is more than one cabinet in a building, the total quantity of toxic substances in all cabinets cannot exceed the above quantities – unless the cabinets are separated by a distance of at least 3m.

The degree of hazard from exposure to a toxic substance is related to the type of substance an individual is exposed to, the concentration, the path into the body and the amount absorbed.

Toxic substances can cause serious health effects to people. Health effects may include, drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, and in the most serious cases, unconsciousness and death. Some short and long term impacts can be skin irritation and reaction, eye irritation, respiratory damage and lung injury.
