The Conquip COSHH Site Storage Box is a durable, lockable container for storing hazardous chemicals, flammables and small fuel containers on construction sites. Built from steel folded plate with a powder-coated finish, it opens via an overhead door on strong gas struts, with twin internal 5-lever mortice deadlocks protecting against theft. Standard fork pockets allow forklift repositioning (optional castors for short manual moves), and five lengths with three height options cover small tool stores through to full walk-up bottle stores, all designed to meet HSE and COSHH compliance requirements.

HSE & COSHH Compliant Hazardous Material Storage
Designed to comply with all relevant COSHH regulations for safe on-site storage of hazardous and flammable substances. Lockable enclosure controls access and the steel construction provides physical protection against impact and unauthorised handling.
More About This Product
The Conquip COSHH Site Storage Box is a durable, lockable container for storage of hazardous chemicals, flammables and small fuel containers on construction sites. Built from steel folded plate with a powder-coated finish, the box opens via an overhead door supported by strong gas struts for fast access. Twin internal 5-lever mortice deadlocks protect against theft and unauthorised access. Standard fork pockets allow forklift repositioning, and optional castor wheels can be fitted to enable manual movement over short distances. Five lengths and three height options cover small tool stores, mid-size flammable cabinets and full walk-up bottle stores, all designed to meet HSE and COSHH compliance requirements.
Suitable Applications
The COSHH Site Storage Box suits sites needing controlled storage of paints, solvents, adhesives, lubricants, gas bottles, sealants, cleaning chemicals or any flammable or hazardous COSHH-listed material. Use the smaller sizes for tool boxes and limited chemical inventories on compact sites; the mid-size cabinets for trade-specific chemical stores; and the largest unit for site-wide consolidated chemical stores or where CDM-compliant material segregation is required.
Match the unit to the substance and the quantity: cabinets suit containers, drum stores suit drums on a sump, and cylinders need a ventilated gas cage rather than a sealed enclosure.
How to Use
- Audit your COSHH register -- list every chemical, container size and quantity that needs storage.
- Add the volumes -- include working stock plus reserve, allowing space for safe access between containers.
- Check height clearance -- 675mm units fit under benches; 1280mm units offer walk-up access; 1230mm full-width unit suits 25-litre bottle racks.
- Confirm site footprint and craning or forklift access for the chosen size.
- Decide whether castor wheels are needed for repositioning between work areas.
Warning:
Do not exceed the manufacturer's storage limits. Segregate incompatible chemicals per COSHH and supplier safety data sheets. Always position on level ground and ensure the unit is locked when unattended.
Safety Information
- Maintain a current COSHH register and keep safety data sheets accessible to all site users.
- Inspect the door, struts and locks before each use -- replace damaged components before continuing.
- Position away from ignition sources, drains, watercourses and pedestrian routes.
- Keep an appropriate spill kit nearby and ensure operatives are trained in its use.
- Do not store food, drink or PPE alongside hazardous chemicals.
Inspection and Maintenance
The COSHH Site Storage Box should be visually inspected at each delivery and weekly during use. Check the gas struts hold the door open under full load, the locks engage cleanly, and the powder-coated finish is undamaged. Touch up any chips immediately to prevent corrosion. Periodically empty and clean the interior, checking for any chemical leakage or container damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this product COSHH-compliant?
Yes -- the lockable construction and steel design support COSHH risk assessment requirements for hazardous material storage. The unit forms part of a wider COSHH compliance approach including the chemical register, safety data sheets, training and spill response.
Q: Can it be moved on castors?
Optional castor wheels can be fitted at order to allow short manual repositioning around site. For longer moves, use the standard fork pockets with a forklift truck.
Q: What can I store in it?
Suitable for COSHH-listed chemicals: paints, solvents, adhesives, lubricants, sealants, cleaning chemicals, small fuel containers and gas bottles. Always check chemical compatibility -- segregate incompatible substances per safety data sheet guidance.
Q: How do I lock it?
Twin 5-lever mortice deadlocks engage from inside the door frame -- two keys per unit are supplied with each box.
Q: Which size do I need?
The 780mm and 1295mm low units (675mm tall) suit small inventories and fit under benches. The 1280mm and 1600mm tall units (1280mm tall) suit walk-up access. The 2375mm unit is the largest, designed for consolidated site-wide stores or larger trade inventories.
