    The document provides guidelines for safely storing chemicals, dividing them into 9 storage groups based on their hazardous properties to avoid accidental mixing and exposure. The groups include flammable liquids, poisons, acids, bases, oxidizers, and other reactive chemicals. The principles of safe storage include returning chemicals to their designated storage areas after each use, proper labeling, and avoiding storage in areas like bench tops or under sinks.
