Bunded cupboards for flammable liquids. Contains spills and provides fire resistance in line with DSEAR duties, including floor chests from QMP. For petroleum spirit, see petroleum cupboards, or the wider COSHH storage range.
Flammable liquids give off vapour that can ignite well below room temperature. Keeping them in a dedicated steel cabinet limits the quantity in the work area, contains spills and slows fire spread. Storing them in a general cupboard is a common and serious mistake.
Keep only what the work needs in the workroom and hold the rest in a separate store. The less that is present, the smaller the consequence of a fire.
Never store flammables with oxidising agents. Check safety data sheets and separate incompatible substances into different cabinets. Keep cabinets away from ignition sources and clear of escape routes.
Their vapour can ignite at low temperatures. A dedicated cabinet limits the quantity present, contains spills and slows fire spread.
Only what the work reasonably requires, with the remainder in a separate store. Check current guidance for the quantities that apply to your situation.
Not with oxidising agents, and not with anything the safety data sheets identify as incompatible. Separate them into different cabinets.
