When storing chemicals, flammable liquids or pesticides in the workplace, keeping everything organised and clearly identified is essential.
Whether you're managing a factory, workshop, school science laboratory or agricultural facility, having the right COSHH storage cabinets helps reduce confusion, control access and support safer working practices.
Here at 3D Lockers, we offer a range of robust, colour-coded hazardous storage cabinets designed to make identifying and storing potentially dangerous substances straightforward.
Why Choose Colour-Coded COSHH Cabinets?
Colour coding provides a simple visual way of identifying different types of hazardous storage.
Rather than having identical cupboards throughout the workplace, different cabinet colours help employees quickly recognise designated storage areas.
Our range includes:
-
Yellow COSHH cabinets – A popular choice for storing general hazardous substances, chemicals and cleaning products.
-
Grey COSHH cabinets – An alternative finish for general hazardous substance storage.
-
Red flammable storage cabinets – Designed to identify designated storage areas for suitable flammable liquids, including certain paints and solvents.
-
Green pesticide storage cabinets – Ideal for agricultural businesses, farms, grounds maintenance teams and other workplaces using pesticides.
These distinctive colours make it easier to organise storage areas, particularly in workplaces handling several different types of substances.
Find Hazardous Substances Quickly and Easily
In busy working environments, employees need to locate materials without unnecessary delays.
Colour-coded chemical storage cabinets help staff identify the correct storage area at a glance, reducing the need to search through several cupboards.
For example, a maintenance team might use yellow cabinets for general hazardous cleaning products, whilst a separate red cabinet identifies an area designated for suitable flammable substances.
Clear hazard labels and organised shelving make it even easier for authorised employees to find what they need.
Improve Hazard Identification and Workplace Safety
Brightly coloured cabinets are easy to recognise, helping remind employees that their contents require careful handling.
They can also help staff and emergency responders identify designated hazardous storage areas more quickly if an incident occurs.
However, cabinet colour alone should never be relied upon to identify a chemical or determine how to handle a spill.
Appropriate GHS hazard labels, safety data sheets and workplace procedures are essential for identifying specific risks.
Secure, Robust Storage for Hazardous Materials
Our COSHH cabinets are manufactured from durable steel and designed for use in demanding workplace environments.
Depending on the model, practical features include:
-
Lockable doors to help prevent unauthorised access.
-
Adjustable shelves for organising different-sized containers.
-
Built-in welded sumps to help contain accidental leaks and spills.
-
High-visibility hazard labels to clearly identify storage areas.
-
A choice of cabinet sizes to suit different quantities of hazardous materials.
Selected models also offer optional stands, helping raise cabinets off the floor for easier cleaning and access.
Always check the cabinet specifications and chemical safety data sheets to ensure the storage arrangement is suitable for the substances involved.
Choosing the Right Colour-Coded Storage Cabinet
Before purchasing a hazardous storage cabinet, consider which substances need storing, how much space is available and whether any chemicals must be segregated.
Flammable liquids, pesticides and other hazardous substances may have different storage requirements, so it's important to select the correct cabinet rather than relying on colour alone.
Remember that standard steel COSHH and flammable storage cabinets are not necessarily fire-rated.
