SAFETY & STORAGE CABINETS
Why Do I Need a Safety Cabinet?
One of the leading causes of industrial fires is the improper storage and handling of
flammable liquids. Safety cabinets help you safely store fuels, chemicals, and solvents
to reduce the risk of fire and protect your people and property.
Safety cabinets serve critical functions:
* Improve efficiency by
locating materials near
point-of-use
* Improve awareness-high-visibility
cabinet color and prominent
labeling identify potentially
hazardous chemicals
* Provide compliance with
federal OSHA regulations
and the National Fire
Protection Association
* Keep dangerous liquids safely
organized and segregated
* Increase maximum allowable
quantities of flammable and
combustible liquids in
control areas
* Ensure safe evacuation time in the
event of a fire
* Improve security with
locking mechanism
Considerations when selecting a safety cabinet
* Federal, state, and local compliance requirements
* Size and type of container being stored
* Capacity needed
While regulatory codes do not mandate the specific color for a
safety cabinet, industry has customarily observed certain colors
for defined liquids.
* Type of chemical being stored
Yellow for flammable liquids
* Security and safety features such as U-Loc™ padlockable
handle, SpillSlope® shelves, Haz-Alert™ warning labels,
all welded construction
Green for pesticides
and insecticides
Red for paints, inks, and
other combustible liquids
Silver or neutral colors
for laboratory settings
Blue for corrosives and
hazardous liquids
White, beige or gray for
waste or outdoor lockers
Also look for cabinets that carry independent, third party
certification from FM Approvals (FM-approved) or MPA
Dresden (GS). These marks signify the cabinet will perform
as expected and support property loss prevention.
