Storage of hazardous materials: safe, certified and fully under control

The storage of hazardous materials requires specialist knowledge, discipline and precision.
One small mistake can have major consequences for people, the environment and business continuity.

At Alblas International Logistics, safety is therefore always the number one priority.

We have a TRGS 210/PGS15 warehouse in Germany, advanced security systems and certified employees who know exactly how to handle hazardous materials.

This is how we guarantee safe, reliable and compliant storage, day after day.

What is storage of hazardous materials?

PGS15 storage, also known as hazardous materials storage, is the safe keeping of substances that may pose a risk, such as flammable, corrosive or toxic materials.

These substances require special facilities, compartmentalisation and precise monitoring to prevent risks.

What does PGS15 storage entail? (Netherlands)

PGS 15 is the Dutch guideline for the storage of packaged hazardous materials and forms the basis for safe handling of chemical products.
The guideline describes how storage areas must be designed to prevent risks such as fire, leakage or emissions.
Our warehouse complies with these guidelines down to the last detail.

What does TRGS 510 storage entail? (Germany)

TRGS 510 is the German guideline for the storage of packaged hazardous materials and forms the basis for safe handling of chemical products.

Our location in Emsbüren (Germany)

Our storage facility is located in Emsbüren (Germany), strategically positioned near major transport corridors between the Netherlands, Germany and Eastern Europe.
The location offers 15,000 m² of warehouse space and is fully equipped for the safe storage of hazardous materials.

The warehouse is equipped with:

  • Fire protection and leak-proof floors
  • Separate compartments for incompatible substances
  • Temperature control where necessary
  • Camera surveillance and access restriction
  • Thanks to the connection with our transport network, goods can be safely stored, managed and immediately transported further.
    This keeps the supply chain efficient, transparent and fully compliant.

    Safety regulations and PGS/TRGS 510 legislation

    Our storage facilities are designed according to the strictest European TRGS 510/PGS15 guidelines. We work with separated zones, automatic fire detection, ventilation systems and 24/7 camera surveillance.

    Fire safety and compartmentalisation

    Our warehouses are equipped with fire-resistant walls, leak-proof floors and special spill trays.
    Incompatible substances are stored separately in compartments, ensuring each category is safely stored.

    Training and inspection

    Employees of Alblas regularly follow training sessions and safety courses. In addition, our processes and warehouses are periodically inspected and certified.
    We comply with international standards and hold the following assessments:

    • SQAS, Safety & Quality Assessment System
    • Ecovadis, sustainability and corporate social responsibility
    • AEO, secure and efficient customs clearance

    From storage to transport, everything under one roof

    At Alblas we combine PGS15 storage and transport in one integrated logistics chain.
    That means one point of contact, one planning and one reliable process, from storage to delivery.

    Seamless cooperation between storage and transport

    Our certified drivers and warehouse employees work closely together.
    Because of this direct connection, transfers take place safely and efficiently, without loss of time or errors.
