Suitable Applications
This high-security COSHH cupboard suits industrial, commercial and laboratory environments where substances hazardous to health must be stored securely and segregated from incompatible materials, and where a higher level of protection against unauthorised access or tampering is required. The clearly labelled, lockable design supports the control measures expected under a COSHH risk assessment.
At this size the same cabinet is made for Acid & Alkali and CoSHH substances. See all COSHH storage for the full range.
How to Use the CoSHH Security Cupboard
- Site the cupboard on a firm, level floor in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources, ignition sources and incompatible materials.
- Adjust the galvanised shelves to suit the height of your containers, ensuring each shelf is fully seated on its supports.
- Store substances in their original, correctly labelled containers and never exceed the 140kg uniformly distributed load per shelf.
- Keep incompatible substances segregated in separate cupboards as identified by your COSHH risk assessment.
- Affix the supplied hazard warning labels so the contents are clearly identifiable.
- Lock the cupboard after every use and restrict key access to authorised, trained personnel only.
Warning:
Always consult the safety data sheet (SDS) for every substance before storage. Never store incompatible chemicals together. Do not store quantities or substances beyond the scope of your COSHH risk assessment.
Safety Information
- Carry out a COSHH risk assessment before storing any hazardous substance and follow the control measures it identifies.
- Store incompatible substances in separate, clearly labelled cupboards.
- Keep all substances in their original, correctly labelled containers with the lids secure.
- Ensure the storage area is adequately ventilated and away from heat and ignition sources.
- Provide and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling stored substances.
- Keep the cupboard locked when not in use and limit key access to trained, authorised personnel.
Inspection and Maintenance
Clean the paintwork periodically with warm soapy water or a foaming cleaner. Oil the hinges and lock sparingly as required with a light oil (3-in-1 or similar). Inspect the integral sump regularly and clean out any spillage promptly using a suitable absorbent. Check that hazard warning labels remain legible and replace them if damaged. Replacement locks and spare keys are available on request.
