Suitable Applications
Hazardous Substance Cupboards suit factories, workshops, garages, laboratories, schools and stores wherever substances hazardous to health must be kept securely and segregated from incompatible materials. The high-visibility Truflow Yellow finish and supplied hazard labels make the contents instantly identifiable, supporting the control measures expected under a COSHH risk assessment. For a higher level of security, this range is also available as fully welded Hazardous Security Cupboards with full-length piano hinges and a seven-lever anti-pick safe lock.
At this size a mobile version is available where the cabinet needs to move with the work; the same cabinet is made for Acid & Alkali and CoSHH substances. See all COSHH storage for the full range.
How to Use the Hazardous 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 your containers, ensuring each shelf is fully seated on its supports.
- Store substances in their original, correctly labelled containers and never exceed the 70kg 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). Where a sump is fitted, inspect it 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.
