Hazardous substance storage cabinets

At industrial facilities there are many health and safety regulations that have to be followed. These include the storage of hazardous liquids and other substances.

Hazardous substances need to be kept in the right environment, under the right conditions, with some under lock-and-key with only designated key holders able to access them. This is why using the right type of safety cabinet or storage cage is so important.

Safety cabinets are available in a range of colours and can store liquids such as acids, flammable liquids, pesticides and alkalis. Some cabinets are also manufactured to withstand the effects of fire for a designated time period, which is especially important for those substances that are flammable.

Safety cabinets are available in many sizes with most having a number of adjustable leak proof shelves and three point locking systems. If you have a look online at the selection available, you will note that some are even supplied with a sump tray to catch liquid spills.

It’s important to keep up to date with the current regulations, storing hazardous liquids under your work bench or on a standard shelf is a definite no-no; you need the right safety cabinet.
