Flammable Storage Solutions That Stand Apart
Proper storage isn't just about compliance; it's about protecting your team, facility, and business continuity. Flammable materials cabinets provide critical protection and are the first line of defence against catastrophic workplace incidents. In addition to protecting valuable materials and equipment, a properly maintained storage cabinet gives staff crucial evacuation time, contains damage to a limited area, and protects valuable equipment.
Our flammable cabinets in NZ are essential for research labs, manufacturing plants, pharmaceutical companies, construction sites, and other industries that often come into contact with flammable materials like:
- Acetone and solvents
- Paints and paint thinners
- Petroleum-based products
- Laboratory chemicals
- Cleaning fluids
- Adhesives and resins
- Industrial alcohols
- Aerosol products

Frequently Asked Questions
Do flammable goods cabinets need to be grounded?
No, indoor flammable cabinets generally do not need to be grounded. However, it is still important to follow proper safety procedures for storing flammable liquids, such as keeping ignition sources away from storage areas, following quantity limits for storage, and ensuring proper ventilation.
For large quantities or outdoor storage of flammable liquids, additional safety measures, including earthing, may be required. We recommend consulting WorkSafe New Zealand or our expert team at Spillbase for more information about hazardous substance management.
What materials should not be stored inside a flammable liquid storage cabinet?
Spillbase’s flammable chemical storage cabinet is specially designed for class 3 flammable and combustible liquids and should not be used as a general chemical storage cupboard for all hazardous materials.
Incompatible materials include oxidising agents (e.g., hydrogen peroxide, chlorine-based chemicals, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid) and reactive substances (e.g., organic peroxides, toxic materials, corrosive substances, flammable solids). Following dedicated storage guidelines can prevent dangerous chemical reactions and reduce fire risks.
Where to place flammable materials cabinets?
Yellow flammable cabinets are typically designed for indoor use and can be placed almost anywhere. Avoid obstructing exit doors and fire exit routes, unventilated areas, locations where spills could run to floor drains or ignition sources, and in direct sunlight.
If you have multiple flammable cabinets in one room, they must be placed 3 metres apart.
How do you store flammable waste?
Unlike new flammable products with clear safety data sheets and original containers, flammable waste presents unique storage challenges due to its mixed or altered state.
Store flammable waste in approved closed containers specifically designed for flammable liquids, ensuring it is compatible with other materials stored in your yellow flammable cabinet.
Flammable waste should only be stored temporarily. Arrange for proper disposal through licensed waste management facilities promptly.
