Shelf lips in chemical storage area

Shelf Lips

Prevent light-weight containers and objects from vibrating off shelves with shelf lips.

For shelving containing chemicals, glassware, or hazardous materials, use shelf lips at least 2 inches high from the shelf surface.

Segregate incompatible chemicals and store them in secondary containers.
