Chemical safety cabinets

Chemical Safety Cabinet

Safety cabinets offer the ideal solution for storage of non compatible chemicals. The corrosion resistant, PVC compartmentalised construction enables efficient separation of flammables, acids, bases and toxics. These chemical safety cabinets feature an individual locking system to ensure maximum security. A fire proof safety cabinet option is available for the flammables compartment to facilitate safe storage of flammable chemicals.

What Color Chemical Storage Cabinet Should You Use?

OSHA and NFPA issue guidelines pertaining to flammable safety cabinets. Neither of these bodies specify a specific color coding scheme. From a regulatory perspective, users can store any type of flammable chemical in any color cabinet.

Yet, most companies adhere to industry best practices and observe certain colors for defined liquids. Proper chemical storage includes using the following colors:

• Yellow:Flammable chemicals and liquids
• Red:Paints, inks and other combustible liquids
• Blue:Corrosive and hazardous liquids and solids
• Green:Pesticides and insecticides
• Silver / Neutral:Laboratory cabinets
• White / Beige / Gray:Waste or outdoor lockers
