Buying guide

How to choose hazardous materials storage

Safe storage of flammable liquids, corrosives and gas cylinders reduces fire risk and exposure. Selection depends on the substances, their hazard classes, the quantities held and where the store is located.

Flammable liquids

Inside buildings, use cabinets tested to EN 14470-1 (Type 90 gives 90 minutes of fire resistance) or built to NFPA 30. Keep quantities within the limits of the cabinet and local regulations.

Corrosives

Acids and alkalis need cabinets made of or lined with corrosion-resistant materials, with separate compartments and spill sumps for incompatible substances.

Segregation

Use the safety data sheets and UN GHS classes to keep incompatible substances apart, for example oxidisers away from flammables and acids away from alkalis.

Gas cylinders

Store cylinders upright and restrained, in a well-ventilated outdoor cage, segregated by gas type. BCGA CP44 gives practical guidance on cylinder storage.

Heat and sun

High temperatures raise vapour pressure and cylinder pressure. Shade outdoor stores, avoid placing cabinets in direct sun or near heat sources, and check cabinet ventilation where required.

Spill containment

Sump trays and bunds should hold leaks from the largest container; a common rule is 110% of the largest container or 25% of the total stored, whichever is greater.
