710mm Flammable COSHH Cupboard - 2 Doors, 1 Shelf - 30L Spill Sump

What can I store in this flammable COSHH cupboard?

It’s designed for suitable flammable liquids such as paints, solvents, thinners and adhesives. Always check each product’s Safety Data Sheet and your risk assessment before storing it, as some substances need to be kept apart.

Why does the cupboard have a spill sump?

The 30L welded sump in the base catches liquid from a leaking or damaged container, so it stays inside the cupboard rather than spreading across the floor. The tray lifts out for cleaning. For spills outside the cupboard, keep spill kits close by.

What’s the difference between the yellow and grey cupboards?

Many workplaces use both to keep their storage organised: yellow for flammable liquids such as paints, solvents and thinners, and the grey COSHH cupboard for other hazardous substances, such as cleaning chemicals and irritants. Each comes with a hazard sticker, and you can add other signs to suit what you store.

Can I store different chemicals together?

Only if they’re compatible. Substances that react with each other, such as flammables and oxidisers, shouldn’t share a cupboard. Check each Safety Data Sheet and your risk assessment, and use separate cabinets where substances need to be kept apart.

Who decides which hazard sign goes on the cupboard?

You do. Each cupboard comes with a hazard sticker, but the sign should always suit what’s stored inside, so check it before use. You can choose different safety signs and labels to customise the cupboard for its contents.

Is this cupboard COSHH compliant?

COSHH compliance comes from how your workplace assesses and controls hazardous substances, not from a single product. A lockable, clearly marked cupboard with a spill sump can be part of those controls and helps you meet your COSHH duties. Use it alongside each substance’s Safety Data Sheet and your COSHH risk assessment.

How much flammable liquid can I store in it?

That depends on the substances, the containers and where the cupboard sits, and your fire and DSEAR risk assessments should set it. HSE guidance (HSG51) covers storing flammable liquids at work.

Where should I put a flammable COSHH cupboard?

Your fire and COSHH risk assessments should decide. Keep it away from sources of ignition and heat, clear of escape routes and exits, and where it can be reached easily. The cupboard arrives assembled and stands on the floor.

Is there a stand for this cupboard?

Yes. The Hazardous Cabinet Stand is sold separately. It lifts the cupboard off the floor on adjustable legs, which makes it easier to clean underneath and brings the shelf closer to a comfortable working height.

Is this cupboard fire resistant?

No. It’s a lockable steel cupboard with a welded spill sump and hazard marking, for organised, controlled storage. It has no fire rating, so if your fire or DSEAR risk assessment calls for a fire-resisting cabinet, choose a fire-resisting safety cabinet instead.
