Separate your workplace from your chemicals with a safety cabinet

Some substances were never meant to be in close contact with human beings, and many of these caustic or toxic chemicals can be found in the workplace. These run the gamut from cleaning agents, to fuels and mechanical oils, to strong acids or bases. In any case, you don’t want them to be located close to your workforce, your customers, or your local environment, not without some manner of protection.

A proper safety cabinet involves a number of key elements. It is painted with a strong, resistant coating of electrostatic, high-gloss powder coating. It incorporates a leakproof sump, to catch and accumulate any spills. It’s doors must be self-closing, with a strong latch. And their shelves should be adjustable – not all containers are made the same size.

Perhaps most importantly, the cabinet is itself heat-resistant. Constructed of high-grade materials, it will not warp or melt under extremes of temperature. In a country with the bushfire potential of this one, this feature is of particular import to many, especially those of us living in areas prone to such events.

Safety Cabinets from EcoSpill meet, or exceed, both Australian Standards AS1940-2004 for Flammable Safety Cabinets, and AS3780-2008 for Corrosive Safety Cabinets. They can help to keep these dangerous substances where they belong – out of reach of danger, or improper usage, while still within easy reach of those who need them.
