What are Dangerous Goods Cabinets?

Dangerous goods, also known as DG’s, are substances that can pose a risk to people and the environment.

Dangerous goods cabinets will help you safely store your DGs. There are different Dangerous Goods cabinet for each dangerous goods class as they are designed to comply with the legislation surrounding a specific class.

The importance of storing dangerous goods is vital in keeping you and the people around you safe. Our Chemshed Storage Cabinets range from Flammable, to Corrosive, through to Toxic, Organic Peroxide, Oxidising Agents, as well as the storage of Aerosols and Gas Cylinders and right through to Agrichemicals.

If you need a reliable, compliant cabinet to store your dangerous goods – either indoors or outdoors, there’s a Chemshed Cabinet for you!

Design and Compliance

Each class of dangerous good requires a different type of storage cabinet. 

When you’re buying a Chemshed storage cabinet you can be assured it has been designed and built to the relevant standard. 

As an example, our Chemshed Flammable Cabinet – 160L (04-1066), has been built to comply with the design requirements of AS1940:2017, and will help you safely store class 3 flammable liquids. 

Some features include: 

• Steel fabrication, with a powder coated protection.
• The rivets, spot welds, and hinges are made of sheet steel. This is important as hinges and rivets are critical to a cabinet’s structural integrity - if they fail, the cabinet will fall apart. That’s not a worry with a Chemshed!
• The door handle offers a full-palm grip, that allows for easy, reliable opening and closing.
• The doors are also lockable – providing safety on site.
• A thing to note about the handle – if it was knocked off or melted in a fire, the cabinet would remain locked and closed, providing the same amount of fire protection. This is because the handles are not critical to the cabinet’s structural integrity! Which means your cabinet would still be compliant.
• Inside the cabinet, are adjustable shelves and an in-built 150mm sump to meet the New Zealand compliance.
• The cabinet has a superior 2 point latch, with fully automatic sequentially self-closing doors that ensure that the inside door is always closing first.
