Establishments in this class operate storage and warehousing facilities for specialized commodities that fall outside the general merchandise, refrigerated, or farm product categories — examples include bulk petroleum terminals, lumber storage yards, whiskey and bonded beverage warehouses, and document and records storage facilities. Day-to-day operations typically involve receiving, storing, and releasing goods on behalf of customers, often with responsibility for the safety and condition of those goods while in the operator's care.
Questions to investigate
- What specific commodities are stored — documents, lumber, petroleum, beverages, or other materials?
- What is the estimated aggregate value of all customer goods on hand at peak storage?
- Does the operation store any flammable, hazardous, or regulated materials?
- Is the facility sprinklered, and what fire suppression systems are in place?
