Safety & Security
Containment Protocols
Strick protocols immediately identify and contain any risk, should it occur. This reduces the likelihood of producing a dangerous hazard.
Fire Suppression Systems
Foam and water sprinkler systems are highly important in the event that an accident occurs. Evans has a dedicated zone where the most flammable products are stored and have stringent suppression systems.
Personnel Safety & Security Training
Hazard communication standards and labeling protocols are understood and followed by onsite personnel.
Hazmat Insurance
Evans' hazmat warehouse is covered by additional insurances to protect against high-risk products that are dangerous or accident prone. This protects both the 3PL and the hazmat customers.
Storage and Segregation
Evans uses safety data sheets to identify ideal storage conditions for products including temperature controls, environmental conditions, and segregation from other reactionary chemicals.
