COSHH Hazardous Storage

To help you, your staff, customers, local environment, and any visitors to your premises from unprotected and unnecessary contact with chemicals or substances that are hazardous to health (COSHH), we provide the storage facilities available for your business, no matter the size or type of COSHH storage that you need.  For example, should you require storage cages for any gas canisters, drums for the direct storage of a large supply of liquid chemicals, or just a small lockable cabinet in your utility area, we at Safe Industrial have exactly what you need.

Not only do we provide all of the COSHH storage containers you require, you can guarantee they are of the best quality needed for such an important task.  When it comes reducing the risk of harm and injury that can be caused by the incorrect handling and storage of chemicals, we work hard to provide practical, yet effective solutions for all.

As there are many kinds of substances and chemicals, all used and needed for many purposes, across a variety of applications, there is no set way to store all of them.  Some products for example, should not be stored together, while others may need certain equipment for use.  The manufacturer’s instructions and labels will therefore help you choose the correct storage to purchase.

It is also advisable to only allow those who have a knowledge of the labelling and are trained in the correct use of certain chemicals, access to the COSHH storage containers and cupboards.  In these circumstances only a select number of keys may be made up.  Our products can be clearly marked and we have a choice of brightly coloured cabinets and storage containers that can help others to identify areas and storage that is for authorised personnel only.

To avoid someone vulnerable getting hold of a chemical or substance that is hazardous, storage must be kept in an area that is restricted, or lockable.  In the case of storing general cleaning products, you may only require a cabinet.  However, where you choose to store hazardous materials should be considered carefully, giving thought to the layout of the premises.  The need for chemicals to be dispensed for use in a contained and ventilated area along with relevant PPE, is also advisable.  And having the correct signage and safety awareness posters and information available also helps to ensure the health and safety of all.

When any COSHH risk assessment is carried out, we know that the ultimate goal of any health and safety conscious organisation is to find ways to carry out the needed jobs and roles of the business, without the use of chemical and substances that are considered dangerous for whatever reason.  However, that is not always possible.  In these circumstances, having suitable COSHH storage is not an option, it is mandatory.
