Handling of Temperature Sensitive and Pharmaceutical Products in the Warehouse

Handling of Temperature Sensitive and Pharmaceutical Products in the Warehouse

  • Time and temperature sensitive products and pharmaceutical products should be transferred to proper safe storage with environmental controls. 
  • The location of the warehouse should be carefully selected to minimize damage from flooding and other natural disasters.
  • The warehouse should be purpose-built and designed for the storage of time and temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals. 
  • The loading and delivery bays of the warehouse should be designed to avoid the temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products from exposure to direct sunlight, dirt, dust and rain.
  • Warehouses designed for the storage of time and temperature sensitive products and pharmaceuticals products should also contain a quarantine area. This is for the storage of rejected, faulty, recalled pharmaceutical products.
