Should I separate the medical equipment from the medications warehouse? Or it is better to keep both the medications and the medical materials together?

Both should be kept separate as a good warehouse practice. It is recommended that any chemicals/ medicines/ liguids/ gases should always be kept separate to avoid any contamination or spread of toxification etc.

1) Both of them should be kept separate as their nature is different. Medicines, Chemicals have shelf life, degrade, contaminate over a period of time.

2) Medical Equipment, Tools require different preservation techniques and are re-useable in nature

they should be kept separate .

warehouse should be closed so that the chemicals remain undisturbed  temperature should not changed there.

equipments will be sterilized or cooled for usage.
