This product is manufactured in the UK. Hazardous substance cupboards of this type help employers comply with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) by providing lockable, clearly identifiable, segregated storage for substances that are potentially hazardous to health. The powder-coated steel construction is classified for Reaction to Fire in accordance with EN 13501-1 and produced under a quality system certified to ISO 9001:2015. A selection of hazard warning labels is supplied as standard. As a manufactured-to-order item this product is subject to an extended lead time.
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.
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.
At this size a mobile version is available where the cabinet needs to move with the work; the same cabinet is made for CoSHH substances. See all COSHH storage for the full range.
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.
