LABNORI Dangerous goods outdoor storage cabinets are manufactured to comply with the requirements of AS1940 for the storage of flammable and combustible liquids. They are also suitable for the separate storage of other classes of dangerous goods. This range of cabinets provide a convenient and secure enclosure and helps with good house-keeping practices for the storage of dangerous goods. They are suitable for outdoor use only.
AS 1940 is the Australian Standard that outlines the requirements for the storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids. Only a flammable cabinet that has been manufactured in full conformance to the design requirements of AS 1940 can be used for the storage of flammable liquids.
And while selecting a flammable liquids storage cabinet is the first step in meeting your legal obligations, you must also keep in mind that your cabinet needs to be positioned and maintained in the correct way. Failure to do so means your organization won’t be able to achieve full compliance.
Failure to comply with the legal WHS regulations may result in:
Hazards to your people, property and environment
On the spot fines for work health and safety breaches
Being charged with an offence; the category of which depends on the seriousness of the breach or the liability involved
Compliant storage for flammable liquids is not a recommendation – it’s a legal requirement in Australia. So regardless of whether you’re storing a small amount of flammable liquid in your workshop, or you have multiple types of flammable liquids in large quantities at your factory, there are several steps you can take to make sure that your workplace is meeting your compliance requirements.
