The cotton warehouse should meet the current regulations regarding floor area, stories, and safety evacuation.

All cotton-pipe systems should be maintained as airtight as possible to prevent dust leakage.
Enhance ventilation and dust removal efforts to minimize suspended dust in the air.
⑧) The walls of the one-bedroom unit must be smooth with no dents, and building components should not use channel or I-beams to prevent dust accumulation.
Regularly clean dust accumulated on machinery and equipment.
Cotton storage should be managed with the following considerations:
①Rational Layout: The storage areas for cotton should be separated from the processing workshops in the cotton zones. For large storage quantities (such as exceeding half a year's processing capacity) and long storage periods (such as exceeding six months), management should be conducted in accordance with warehouse requirements. If shelving is available, use it to store goods, fully utilizing the warehouse space. The warehouse (storage yard) should be located on the upwind side of the dominant wind direction of the processing workshop in the cotton zone, and a wall should separate the cotton storage warehouse (storage yard) from the workshop. The storage warehouse (storage yard) must not be adjacent to the processing workshop or located within it. If a cottonseed oil processing workshop is attached to the cotton processing facility, it should be arranged separately, placed downwind of the cotton storage warehouse (storage yard), and maintained at a considerable distance.
②The by-products generated from the cotton processing process, particularly the offcuts contaminated with oil and moisture, should be stored separately and not placed in the cotton warehouse (yard). Enhanced management is required to prevent spontaneous combustion.
Workers in the cotton processing factory and cotton suppliers are not allowed to enter the warehouse (storage yard) area except for production needs. Individuals entering the warehouse (storage yard) area temporarily must complete registration procedures and surrender any fire sources.
④ No overhead electric wires are allowed within the cotton yard. The electrical wires used by mobile stackers must be free of joints, and should utilize a clutch or electromagnetic switch; the use of reversing switches is prohibited.
⑤ Regularly sweep away "dust cotton," and frequently clear away the fluffy cotton around electrical appliances to maintain cleanliness.
Electrical appliances should be operated by permanent workers at the manufacturing facility, generally not by temporary workers, and absolutely not by individuals unfamiliar with electrical safety who should not be allowed to fumble or tamper with electrical equipment.
Seeds cotton and hull cotton should be stored in separate areas and must not be mixed.
Damaged or unpacked cotton bales must not be stacked. They should be stored separately and can only be stacked after being repacked.
The indoor cotton storage warehouses should maintain the "five distances" as required. For open-air yards with large storage volumes, designated areas and groups should be established in accordance with regulations, with stacking sizes and spacing adhering to safety standards. Cotton processing factories should promptly remove cotton stocks exceeding their storage capacity to prevent overstocking and ensure safety.
After cotton processing and workshop handling, the raw cotton should be promptly transported to the warehouse or designated storage area, and must not be stored within the workshop.
