FAQ:
What factors should be considered when choosing a Flammable cabinet?
Here are some common questions you should be asking yourself before deciding on the flammable storage cabinet you need.
- What are the quantities of flammable liquids you need to store?
- What size are the containers?
- How many cabinets will the Australian standards allow you to have according to the dangerous goods classes?
- Where will the safety cabinet be located, are there ignition sources nearby?
Can you store flammable liquids outside a storage cabinet?
You can store flammable liquids outside of a flammable liquid cabinet, although it’s important to know the class of the liquid and how much can be stored per square metre.
Should I put my flammable liquids cabinet outside?
This is highly warned against, but not necessarily illegal. The issue with outdoor flammable cabinets is that they are more susceptible to deterioration, and when this happens you are no longer compliant.
What signage does my flammable cabinet need?
When you purchase from Spill Station, signage is often included. But if you’re still curious this is what you need to accurately sign your flammable liquid storage cabinet.
- The name of the Australian distributor if the cabinet is imported.
- Name and address of the manufacturer.
- The maximum capacity the cabinet can hold.
- Class 3 Flammable Liquids need a dangerous goods label at least 250 mm in length.
- A ‘No smoking, No ignition Sources Within 3M’ warning placard with lettering, and placed at least 50mm high.
