Flammable liquid storage cabinets strengthen jobsite safety protocols. Dangerous chemical incidents from improper chemical storage threaten employees and daily operations. While no manufacturer is impervious from ongoing safety risks abounding most jobsites, a flammable liquid storage cabinet provides more than blanket protection. Our smaller storage lockers will sufficiently protect smaller chemical payloads that don’t necessitate larger warehouses.
What is a Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinet?
Manufacturers and industrialists seeking OSHA and NFPA30 compliant chemical storage likely encounter complicated terms and jargon online. Flammable storage cabinets, chemical warehouses, storage lockers, and buildings are synonymous with all steel-gauged protection. While the language differs by company and application, the numerous names for chemical storage are the same. We often use flammable chemical storage buildings, fire safety cabinets, paint storage, and BOXSAFE hazmat containers. Rest assured that nuanced language is never derivative or designed to conceal our buildings’ intent: to provide state and federally compliant chemical storage for all jobsite safety dilemmas.
A flammable liquid storage cabinet is a steel-gauged unit designed to store flammable and combustible liquids safely. OSHA requires all industries to store flammable or combustible liquid stockpiles exceeding 25 gallons inside steel welded containers. Although the term “flammable storage cabinet” is an industry misnomer – the containers more closely resemble beefed-up shipping containers with all optional safety measures, like climate control and fire suppression at your immediate disposal for superior hazard mitigation – catchall language doesn’t detract from prudent chemical segregation in harried workflow operations.
Flammable Storage Cabinets and Warehouses Can Safely Store:
- Gasoline
- Propane
- Kerosene
- Paint thinners
- Cleaners and degreasers
- Certain glues and adhesives
- Oil-based paints or varnishes
- Lacquers
- Hydraulic fluids
Which Jobsites and Industries Require Flammable Chemical Storage?
No industry or manufacturer is exempt from compliant hazmat storage requirements. Although inquiring minds might believe relatively benign and sterile organic operations don’t necessitate flammable liquid storage cabinet protection, sensational news headlines differ. Compliant liquid storage doesn’t preclude protecting relatively inert substances, such as cleaners and organic materials, which are otherwise safe until inadvertent mixing. Hospitals, schools, restaurants, and supermarkets routinely garner salient coverage depicting dangerous chemical incidents from negligible storage. Don’t become another statistic or overblown news story. Invest in compliant protection today!
