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

What can I store in this COSHH cupboard?

It’s designed for hazardous substances other than flammable liquids, such as cleaning chemicals, irritants and harmful maintenance products. Always check each product’s Safety Data Sheet and your COSHH risk assessment before storing anything, 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, which makes a spill easier to deal with and helps keep the cupboard clean. 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: grey for hazardous substances such as cleaning chemicals and irritants, and the yellow flammable COSHH cupboard for flammable liquids such as paints, solvents and thinners. 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 cupboards 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. This cupboard is designed for COSHH storage, and a lockable, clearly marked cupboard with a spill sump can help you meet your COSHH duties as part of your risk assessment.

How much can I store in this COSHH cupboard?

That depends on the substances and their containers, and your COSHH risk assessment should set it, along with each product’s Safety Data Sheet. Keep only what’s needed close to where it’s used.

Where should I put this COSHH cupboard?

Your COSHH and fire risk assessments should decide. Keep it away from heat, clear of escape routes and exits, and where authorised staff can reach it easily. It arrives assembled and is free-standing. If you need more shelf space, look at the taller 1220mm grey COSHH cupboard.

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.
