    How to Minimize Fire Hazards?


    One of the main causes of chemical fires is the improper storage and handling of flammable liquids and chemicals. By using flammable liquid and chemical safety storage cabinets, you can standardize the storage, classification, and grading of various hazardous chemicals, reducing the fire risk and ensuring the safety of people and the environment.


    The Importance of Safety Storage Cabinets


    • Safely store chemicals to reduce fire risk.


    • Provide valuable time for personnel to evacuate in case of fire.


    • Improve the recognizability of hazardous chemicals, orderly storage, and the appropriateness of storage methods (segregation, separation, or isolation storage).


    • Enhance compliance: Meet FM approval standards for flammable liquid storage cabinets (FM Approval Standard 6050), OSHA's regulations on flammable and combustible liquids (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106), and NFPA's regulations on flammable and combustible liquids (NFPA CODE 30), comply with TÜV's certification standards for fire-resistant safety cabinets (EN14470-1), and meet the Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals by China's State Administration of Work Safety, providing safety protection for the storage of flammable liquids and chemicals.


    • Improve the convenience of using chemicals near the work area.


    • Door locking systems and fire/explosion-proof ventilation holes play a crucial role in enhancing fire safety.
