The Best COSHH Storage Cabinets for Compliance

The Best COSHH Storage Cabinets for Compliance

All companies must try to prevent workplace accidents, but workplaces that use hazardous chemicals also have to follow the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health's (COSHH) requirements. This legislation means that if activities require the use of hazardous substances, appropriate storage and spill control measures must be offered. 

Your organisation should adopt solutions at the greatest level of compliance to guarantee that staff remain safe during everyday operations, whether that means implementing absorption solutions, secure storage choices, or spill control equipment.

Achieving the most secure chemical storage depends on assessing the kind of chemicals kept on-site, their quantity, and the industrial activities that use them. Therefore, it is essential that the individuals in charge of enforcing health and safety measures in the workplace know the specific risks posed by the chemicals being used and understand how to handle them properly before they decide on the type of chemical storage to use.

Read the guide below on the COSHH products your business should have, to make sure your staff are protected from the risks posed by hazardous substance spills.

What are the COSHH regulations?

When a cabinet or cupboard complies with COSHH requirements, you can be sure it will meet a high safety standard and significantly reduce the risk of harm posed by the hazardous substance stored within. COSHH specifies that a storage cabinet must be made from a rigid material that cannot be compromised by the hazardous substance it is intended to store.

Storage cabinets that comply with COSHH regulations must be suitable for hazardous and flammable goods and offer enduring safety and peace of mind. They are also durable, helping your company stay in compliance with state and local health and safety requirements for many years.

What safety benefits do COSHH cabinets provide?

Our COSHH storage cabinets are built to last and adhere to all current regulatory requirements. This includes meeting the standards outlined in the DSEAR Approved Code of Practice. Furthermore, our COSHH cabinets comply with HSG51 Storage of Flammable Liquids regulations, which ensures that any flammable materials are kept secure and that the risk of fire is significantly reduced. Our high level of craftsmanship and the materials we use offer 30 minutes of fire resistance.

In order to meet these standards, the manufacturing of COSHH cabinets must be of the highest quality. The range of COSHH cabinets at SafetyBuyer is produced at an industry-leading standard; all seams and joints are completely welded, and not flat-pack produced and riveted like inferior products. This ensures no holes or gaps exist in any of the joints at the corners.

Furthermore, doors are strengthened to resist bending and to endure the bumps and bangs of everyday use. The doors and lids fit snugly against the frame and, when closed, tightly seal the appliance.

Our large COSHH storage cabinets are made of 1.2mm and 0.9mm mild steel and offer great durability with completely welded joints throughout. Within the cabinet, the robust shelves function as a 25mm deep spill tray for minor spillages and are adjustable in 25mm increments.

A 50-litre built-in sump is included in the cabinet base to gather any spills securely. All doors include metal knobs, two-point locking, and reinforcement to make them tight-fitting. 

If your workspace already has COSHH cabinets but you need to expand your storage capacity, or you are looking for smaller cabinets to store different types of hazardous substances separately, you may consider stackable hazardous substance cabinets.

In our range, you can choose between white acid cabinets, which have a polyester coating for increased chemical protection, or grey or yellow cabinets, reinforced with an epoxy-polyester powder coating process for excellent durability.

As with larger cabinets, the shelves function as a 25mm deep spill tray for minor spillages and are adjustable in 25mm increments. The smaller cabinets also have a sump, but it has a slightly smaller 21-litre capacity.
