A bottled chemical handling system having an outer protective housing for supporting an inner shelving and containment module. The inner containment module is provided with a series of bottle shelves arranged at compound angles with respect to horizontal so as to prevent rolling motion of bottles stored on the shelves and to enable any spilled liquid to drain to the rear of the inner module and then down into a sump region at the lower back portion of the inner module. A drain vent interconnects the sump region within the module to the outside of the protective housing, while a fume vent provides a fluid path from the module interior to ambient. The system is provided with castors and a locking foot to facilitate transportation of the system between locations and to stabilize the system when in place. A wide variety of bottle sizes can be stored in the inner module on the angled shelves or on an additional bottom shelf.

A bottle containment module comprising a top, a bottom, a back, and two sides; a plurality of laterally spaced partitions vertically arranged within said module; a plurality of shelves received between adjacent partitions and arranged at a first predetermined angle with respect to a plane parallel to said bottom and normal to said partitions so that a bottle placed on a shelf normally rests in two point line contact with the shelf and an adjacent partition, said shelves extending toward said back in a downwardly sloping manner at a second predetermined angle so that a bottle placed on a shelf normally rests at said second predetermined angle and is biassed backwardly and downwardly of said module by its own weight; and means providing a limit stop for bottles to be placed on said shelves.
