Safety cabinet information


Safety cabinet with air circulation filter attachment for hazardous materials
Safety cabinet for compressed gas cylinders
Cabinet for gas cylinders
Base cabinet for hazardous substances

A safety cabinet is used for the safe storage of flammable chemical substance or compressed gas cylinders.[1]

Primarily, they should meet three major safety requirements:

  1. Minimize the fire risks associated with the storage of flammable substances and protect the cabinet's contents for a known (tested) minimum length of time (fire rating). It should prevent the materials stored in the cabinet from contributing to the spread of fire or leading to an explosion in the event of a fire
  2. Minimize the amount of vapor released into the working environment
  3. Retention of accidental spillages within the cabinet

Areas of application and uses are diverse: pharmaceutical, universities, hospitals, industry, workshops, public organizations working with hazardous substances etc. In essence, any facility where flammable substances are stored.
