Protect workers, reduce fire hazards and improve productivity by storing
flammable liquids in safety cabinets. One of the leading causes of industrial
fires is the improper storage and handling of flammable liquids.
It is important to identify and inventory all chemicals in the workplace
as well as review the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for each chemical to
determine the characteristics and recommended storage practices.
Most importantly it is important to isolate incompatible chemicals to
avoid generating toxic gases that create fires and explosions.
