Our Hazardous Goods Storage Solutions
Flammable Liquids
Our flammable materials cabinets are manufactured to meet AS 1940 standards for the storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids. They are suitable for storing class 3 flammable or combustible liquids such as paint, solvents, petrol, and kerosene.
Corrosive Substances
Our corrosive dangerous goods cabinets are available in two materials: metal for class 8 corrosive substances and PVC for classes 5, 6, and 8. PVC is specifically designed for storing harsh chemicals such as sulphuric acid, while metal cabinets can store less corrosive chemicals, including acids, bases, and substances like hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide.
Aerosol Containers and Gas Cylinders
Our heavy-duty aerosol and gas cylinder cabinets in NZ feature steel mesh cabinets for free-flow ventilation and are suitable for storing pressurised containers like aerosol cans, compressed gas containers, and more.
Toxic Materials
These self-closing hazardous goods storage cabinets boast a latching door and double steel walls. They are suitable for storing class 6 toxic substances in liquid or solid form, including alkaloids, arsenic, aniline, cyanides, mercury, phenol-solids and trichloroethylene.
Oxidising and Reactive Goods
Our reactive goods cabinets come equipped with a pressure-release door, ensuring safety by automatically venting in the event of a pressure build-up. They are specifically designed for storing Class 5.1 and 5.2 oxidising agents, including organic peroxides, in both liquid and solid form.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need specialised hazardous goods storage in NZ?
Without proper storage of dangerous goods, you don’t just risk compliance but also expose your workplace to potential accidents and chemical exposure.
Investing in suitable dangerous goods storage in NZ provides essential protection for your team through built-in spill containment, chemical separation, fire-resistant construction, and secure access control.
Can different classes of dangerous goods be stored together?
No, different classes of dangerous goods generally cannot be stored together safely. To prevent hazardous reactions, they must be properly segregated according to their hazard classes and incompatibilities. Storing incompatible substances together can lead to fires, explosions, or the production of toxic gases.
How often should dangerous goods cabinets be inspected?
You should perform quick visual inspections daily or weekly to check for obvious damage or identify issues with how they are loaded, used, or cleaned.
More comprehensive inspections should be performed quarterly or annually. These involve checking all cabinet components in detail. You can adjust the inspection frequency based on a site-specific risk assessment, considering factors like the types of chemicals stored, usage frequency, and environmental conditions.
What are the recommended procedures for transferring chemicals in and out of cabinets?
Always wear appropriate gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing for the specific chemicals you"re handling and ensure good ventilation in the work area. Ensure that the transferred chemicals are compatible with the hazardous container storage materials and other stored substances.
Transfer chemicals one at a time, utilising pumps, funnels, or other specialised equipment designed for the specific chemical being transferred. Keep cabinet doors closed when not in use, open chemical containers only when necessary, and reseal them immediately after use.
Wipe any drips or spills promptly using appropriate spill control materials. Ensure all containers are clearly labelled with the chemical name, hazards, and any other required information.
Keep spill kits, fire extinguishers, and emergency eye wash stations nearby and accessible.
