Many industries use flammable and combustible liquids while at work. Whether you use them to maintain equipment, clean equipment, or manufacture your products, they must be kept safe when they’re not being used. Flammable cabinets are the perfect solution because they keep them contained and away from other liquids.
Up to 15,000 fires are started by combustibles each year, and these fires can cause casualties, injuries, and property damages. They are colour-coded and usually come in bright yellow, which makes them highly noticeable no matter where they’re placed in the worksite.
Flammable cabinets must come with the appropriate warning labels, such as the fire sign in red with flammable liquids printed. It should also have no smoking warnings. Many times, manufacturers of these cabinets include the warning labels or send them along so that you can put them on when it arrives. You can also find a variety of sizes to suit your needs.
If you only work with a few flammables, you may need a smaller cabinet. If you work with a variety, each product should go into its own cabinet. Therefore, you may need to purchase multiple cabinets to ensure that you’re compliant with government rules and keep your employees safe.
