    The document provides guidelines for safely storing corrosive liquids. It recommends constructing a brick containment wall around storage tanks to capture spills. The wall should be at least 225mm thick and hold the contents of the largest tank. Within the wall, the area should have an acid-proof floor, drain pit, and no openings in the wall. Tanks should be clearly labeled and have level indicators and overflow nozzles directed into containers. Outside the wall, there should be a hard stand for tankers, spill control facilities, protective equipment, and decontamination showers. A notice board should display the hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response information.

    with each other).
    a. Distance between tank edge / periphery and innerside of dyke wall should
    not be less than half of the height of the tank from the floor level

    b. Level Gauge / Indicator
    c. Overflow Nozzle with its outlet directed into a suitable container.
    3. The area outside the dyke should have the following:
    a. Hard Stand for tanker with suitable acid-proof / alkali-proof flooring.
    b. Spillage control & disposal facilities.
    c. Personal Protective Equipment.
    d. Decontamination facilities like Shower / Eye-wash.
    4. A notice-board containing the following should be prominently displayed:
