Chemstore provides hazardous material management services for businesses across Ireland, including site assessments, bund testing and repair, spill response support, chemical safety training and ongoing maintenance of Chemstore units. Our engineers can review storage, segregation, handling and emergency arrangements on site, provide practical recommendations and help organisations improve safety, environmental performance and compliance with applicable Irish workplace and environmental requirements.
Chemstore supports organisations throughout the lifecycle of hazardous material storage, from initial site assessment and risk review through to training, bund testing, maintenance and compliance-document management.
As part of our ongoing commitment to our customers, Chemstore offers a Free Site Assessment Report service. This includes a visit by one of our experienced engineers to review hazardous material storage and handling arrangements on site.
Following the visit, a written report is produced with observations and recommendations. Where applicable, the assessment can consider requirements and guidance including:
Chemstore can carry out detailed reviews of workplace premises, hazardous material storage arrangements and relevant work practices. The purpose of the audit is to identify areas requiring attention and provide practical recommendations that can be prioritised by site management.
Health, Safety and Environmental audits can be conducted using a structured scorecard approach, giving organisations a practical benchmarking system for tracking improvements and setting future targets.
The audit process can include:
The audit is intended to support an organisation’s own risk-management and compliance processes and should be considered alongside applicable legislation, licence conditions, Safety Data Sheets and competent professional advice.
Chemstore customers can use Chempli to manage important documentation associated with their Chemstore units.
Documents available through Chempli can include:
Relevant documentation can be accessed digitally through the Chempli platform and, where configured, by scanning the QR code attached to a Chemstore unit.
Chempli can also support wider compliance-management activities, including:
Rather than replacing an organisation’s legal responsibilities, Chempli provides a practical system for organising documentation and supporting ongoing compliance management, inspection preparation and emergency planning.

Bulk tanks, drums and IBCs containing fuels, oils, chemicals and other potentially polluting materials can create significant environmental risks if primary containment fails. Effective secondary containment helps prevent a spill from spreading beyond the storage area.
Where applicable, EPA guidance and environmental licence conditions commonly use bund capacities based on the greater of:
The exact containment, inspection and testing requirements applicable to a site should be determined from the substances stored, the site’s environmental obligations and any relevant EPA licence conditions.
Our Bund Repair & Testing service can include:
Testing frequency should be based on applicable licence conditions, site requirements, risk assessment and the condition of the bund rather than assuming one universal interval applies to every facility.
Chemstore Environmental can help organisations develop and maintain spill-kit and spill-response arrangements appropriate to the hazardous materials present on site.
Our spill-management service can include:

CMS Chemstore Engineering Limited is a family-led Irish company based in Limerick. Since 1993, Chemstore has specialised in hazardous material storage, handling and workplace safety solutions.
Chemstore helps organisations create safer workplaces through a range of engineered storage systems, services, site assessments, training and ongoing maintenance.
Our hazardous-material and critical-equipment storage units are manufactured in Ireland and can be configured around the substances, quantities and operational requirements present at individual sites.
Chemstore is certified to internationally recognised management standards including ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety.
We believe every employee should be able to work in an environment where hazards are properly identified, understood and managed.
In workplaces where hazardous materials are stored or handled, employees should understand the risks relevant to their role and the controls established by their employer to manage those risks.
Chemstore’s goal is to help organisations reduce the risks associated with hazardous material storage and handling through appropriate engineering, practical guidance, training and ongoing support.
We’ve been designing, manufacturing and installing hazardous material storage solutions since 1993, and we recognise that supplying the equipment is only part of the process.
We aim to build long-standing relationships with our customers and provide practical advice based on an understanding of their materials, operations and site requirements.
For us, safety and quality go hand in hand. Chemstore aims to provide high-quality products, reliable service and responsive support while continually improving the way we work.
We maintain certified management systems covering quality, environmental management and occupational health and safety, and we encourage continuous improvement throughout the organisation.
A key strength of Chemstore throughout its history has been anticipating and responding to changing customer requirements. Through continued product development and engineering, we aim to provide practical hazardous-material storage and safety solutions for organisations in Ireland and internationally.
