Safety Cabinets and Storages, Various Options Available
In a house or a factory, where do you store toxic substances? Safety cabinets built to Australian
standards and with complete signage is the place. The best part about them is that they come in
different varieties to help you store all the different types of hazardous products. While you have
flammable storage made from rust free plastic corrosive to help you store chemicals, acids and bases
you also have flammabale liquid storage for storing organic peroxides, oxidizing agents and other liquid
toxic substances.
Then there is also gas cylinder storage aptly designed and manufactured for storing cylinders containing
highly inflammable fuel either in gaseous or liquid form. They are like secured cages and protected from
sunlight and placed outdoors only. Gas bottle storage units are generally placed at places easy to access,
away from traffic and provide for proper ventilation both above and below the bottles.
No matter whether we are speaking about gas cylinder storage or flammable liquid storage, it is also
important to take care of their maintenance, use and placement. Since there is high risk involved it is
always better never to drag or roll them on the ground but to use trollies to move them from one place
to another. Gas bottle storage should be never picked by caps or valves, you might be putting yourself in
risk by doing so. Lastly appropriate foot gear and gloves should be used when dealing with these as
materials sticking to your hands and legs pose health hazard.
Safety, storage, handling and transportation of hazardous and combustible flammable products have
government guidelines to observe and are very vulnerable to climatic changes for major accidents
specially petroleum and gas products. Hence it becomes important for companies to arrange for their
appropriate storage.
