Säilytysluokitukset

Säilytysluokitukset are a system of classification used to categorize and store materials, substances, and objects in a safe and secure manner. The term "säilytysluku" is used in Finnish, and is also known as E number, which is an international classification system.

The purpose of säilytysluokitukset is to ensure that hazardous or sensitive materials are properly stored and handled to prevent accidents or unauthorised access. This classification system is widely used in various industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and laboratory settings.

Säilytysluokituksen is based on risk assessment and categorizes materials into different groups according to their potential risks and hazards. The classification system typically consists of four color codes: White for non-hazardous substances, Blue for substances that require special precautions, Yellow for hazardous substances, and Red for highly hazardous substances.

Each color code has a set of specific guidelines and regulations that must be followed in order to ensure safe storage and handling of the materials. For example, materials classified as Yellow may require ventilation systems or protective equipment, while materials classified as Red may require specialized storage containers and personal protection equipment.

In Finland, säilytysluokitukset is strongly regulated and enforced by local authorities, particularly by the Finnish Centre for Safety and Chemical Product Control. Adherence to säilytysluokitukset is critical in preventing accidents and ensuring a safe working environment.
