Hazardous Substance Storage Cabinets

Cabtek Superior Safety Features – setting the context

When selecting a hazardous substance storage cabinet, compliance with COSHH regulations and workplace safety standards is critical. But not all cabinets are created equal, and overlooking small design details could lead to significant safety risks for your employees and premises.

Why the Sump ‘Really’ Matters

The sump at the base of the cabinet is a seemingly minor feature with critical implications for safety. While many cabinets on the market come with a removable tray sump, this type of design has two potentially significant safety weaknesses.

Risk of Accidental Spillage During Removal: A removable sump tray might tempt employees to manually lift and empty it, creating a dangerous situation where hazardous liquids could spill onto themselves or others.
Potential for Leaks from Inside the Cabinet: If a container tips over, hazardous substances can run down the cabinet walls and potentially bypass the tray altogether, leaking through gaps in the cabinet base and onto the floor.

In contrast, Cabtek Cabinets feature fully welded, non-removable sumps that are leak-proof by design. This ensures that any spills are securely contained within the cabinet, eliminating both risks.
