Chemical Safety Cabinet Maintenance
Ongoing maintenance is essential to maintain legal compliance and ensure your business is prepared for audits. A well-maintained chemical storage cabinet ensures your employees and organisation are properly protected against the risks associated with flammable and hazardous materials.
A routine safety inspection of your chemical safety cabinet ensures it is in accordance with:
The Health & Safety at Work Act Section 2 – 1974
Dangerous Substances & Explosive Atmospheres Regulations – DSEAR 2002
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 – COSHH
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 – PUWER
How often should a chemical safety cabinet be inspected?
Chemical safety cabinets earmarked for the storage of flammable liquids or materials require comprehensive yearly inspections to ensure they are functional and reliable. These inspections are a requirement under law, including PUWER, COSHH and DSEAR, safeguarding against preventable risks.
Only by proving that proper inspections have been carried out can liability limits and insurance cover be retained in the event of damage.
Beyond yearly assessments, daily visual checks are best practice for the storage of all hazardous materials. As part of these inspections, you should check for:
Damage to the cabinet
Chemical leaks
Signs of rust and corrosion
Correct and smooth door operation
Clear placement of hazard labels
Performance of ventilation
Any materials placed in incorrect storage
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Chemical safety cabinets and transport containers are constructed from robust, fire-resistant materials and feature airtight physical barriers and inbuilt ventilation for the safe storage of dangerous and hazardous materials.
COSHH requires all employers to control exposure to hazardous substances, while DSEAR restricts the volume of materials and requires fire-safe construction. Under these regulations, cabinets must be clearly labelled, lockable and feature built-in containment for spills.
EN 14470-1 is the primary European standard that governs the construction, design and testing of safety cabinets. We adhere to these standards for every chemical safety cabinet, reducing risk by containing fires for a set amount of time, from 30-90 minutes.
Ventilation is necessary for the majority of chemical safety cabinets for the management of toxic fumes and vapours, as these can build up within the cabinet and present a risk to employees.
Chemical safety cabinets are an ideal choice for laboratories, as they comply with the legal requirements necessary for the safe storage of hazardous materials. This protects laboratory staff and the surrounding environment.
