Quick answer: Select a toxic-substance storage cabinet only after checking the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS), the substance classification, the quantity and containers to be stored, segregation needs, and the written information for the exact cabinet offered. A cabinet volume in litres is not, by itself, proof that it suits a particular substance or workplace.
Start with the substance and task
- Collect the current SDS for every substance and identify the storage, incompatibility and emergency information.
- Record container sizes, total quantities, likely access frequency and who will use the storage area.
- Map nearby drains, ignition sources, traffic routes and other stored substances.
- Confirm the selected cabinet’s construction, internal layout, containment, ventilation requirements, lock arrangement and any stated limitations from current supplier documents.
Questions to include in a quotation request
- Which exact model and configuration is proposed?
- What are its current external and internal dimensions, storage limitations and handling instructions?
- What written guidance applies to the stated substance, concentration and containers?
- What are the current warranty, exclusions, delivery and installation arrangements?
New Zealand reference point
WorkSafe explains that requirements for toxic and corrosive substances can depend on classification and quantity; secondary containment may also be required in some circumstances. Check the current substance-specific position rather than treating this guide as compliance advice. See WorkSafe guidance for toxic and corrosive substances and EPA rules and controls.
