How are containers stored in the safety cabinets?

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions

Use shelf dividers and clear labelling organization

Incompatible materials are not permitted in the cabinet

Open containers such as open-topped cans or buckets are not permitted in the cabinet

Always store hazardous chemicals in closed metal containers, safety cans, or plastic containers with anti-static components that prevent static build-up on metal containers or safety cans. Place all containers in secondary containment (e.g., small bottles can be placed in a tray) in case a container fails

Remove the original cardboard packaging before the containers are placed inside the cabinet

Do not store empty cardboard boxes or paper in the cabinet as it increases the risk of fire

Do not overload shelves. Check capacity in the manufacturer’s manual

NOTE: Avoid storing items on top of or near the cabinet including used or oily rags, wastepaper, or other flammable materials.
