Abstract :
    The storage of chemicals in conservation laboratories and workshops, as one of the key pillars supporting the scientific preservation of historical artifacts, can pose a serious threat to the environment, human safety, and the integrity of cultural objects if managed improperly. This study, using a preventive conservation approach and emphasizing green crisis management, draws on the lived experience of the Conservation Laboratory of Khorasan Razavi to propose a localized framework for safe chemical storage. In this context, a preventive conservation framework was designed, based on the HSE cycle model and the application of international safety standards such as MSDS and NFPA. Field investigations and document analysis identified seven key components: safety monitoring, hazard segregation, continuous training, documentation, isolated storage areas, emergency response equipment, and disposal protocols. The validity and reliability of this model were confirmed through expert review by conservation professionals and relevant specialized institutions. The findings indicate that achieving effective green crisis management is impossible without the collaboration of decision-making bodies such as the Preventive Police, Fire Department, Passive Defense Organization, Crisis Management Headquarters, and Environmental Protection Organization. Implementation of this model can minimize storage risks and enhance the resilience of museums against environmental threats.
