If you keep hazardous substances on site, from solvents and fuels to paints, adhesives and cleaning chemicals, they need to be stored securely and separately from everyone and everything else. HazSafe® hazardous substance storage boxes help you comply with COSHH regulations, as demanded by law, for the secure storage of hazardous materials. They come in five sizes, are built from sealed welded steel so a leak or spill stays inside the box, are internally ventilated to stop fumes building up, and arrive in high-visibility yellow with hazard warning labels as standard.

Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations, employers have a duty to store hazardous substances safely, which in practice means keeping them secure, contained and clearly identified. Leaving chemicals, fuels or solvents in an open store, a site cabin or the back of a van is both a safety risk and a compliance risk: fumes build up, containers get knocked or leak, and materials fall into the wrong hands.
A HazSafe® box is designed around those duties. The sealed welded steel body keeps substances locked away and holds any leak or spill inside the box, the internal ventilation lets fumes disperse rather than concentrate, and the high-visibility yellow finish with hazard warning labels makes it obvious what the box contains. It is a straightforward way to bring your on-site hazardous storage up to a standard you can stand behind during an inspection.
The point of a hazardous substance box is safe containment, so it is worth being clear about what does the work. The sealed, fully welded steel body has no weak bolted joints and keeps substances locked away, so a split container or a leak stays inside the box rather than spreading across the site. The internal ventilation is the feature that sets a HazSafe® box apart from an ordinary steel store: it lets vapours from solvents, fuels and other volatile materials disperse instead of concentrating, which lowers the risk every time the lid is opened.
The high-visibility yellow finish and the hazard warning labels then do the identification job that COSHH expects, so anyone on site can see at a glance that the box holds hazardous materials. Together, sealed containment, ventilation and clear labelling are what make this a hazardous substance store rather than just a locked box.
There are five sizes in the range, each a single open internal space, so you can match the box to the quantity and size of the containers you store rather than paying for room you will not use. As a rough guide:
| Size (H x W x D) | Typically Suits |
|---|---|
| 380 x 360 x 370mm | A few small containers, aerosols or COSHH items for a small site |
| 555 x 460 x 420mm | A modest store of chemicals, paints or solvents |
| 555 x 660 x 420mm | A general on-site hazardous stock for a small team |
| 555 x 890 x 420mm | Larger quantities and a wider mix of containers |
| 555 x 1190 x 420mm | The largest unit, for bulkier drums, cans and more stock |
Choose your size: pick from the five sizes above based on the containers you need to store and where the box will live.
Add your padlock: the box takes your own padlock on its catch lock, so you keep control of who can open it.

HazSafe® boxes suit any site or workplace that keeps hazardous materials to hand. Construction and groundworks teams use them to store fuels, solvents and adhesives securely. Facilities and grounds teams keep pesticides, cleaning chemicals and paints locked away and labelled. Workshops, depots and manufacturing sites use them to segregate flammables and volatile materials from the working area. Wherever COSHH substances are stored, a purpose-built box makes safe storage simple and demonstrable.

It is a heavy-duty steel box designed to store hazardous substances safely and securely on site, helping you comply with COSHH regulations. A HazSafe® box adds internal ventilation, high-visibility labelling and a sealed welded body, which sets it apart from an ordinary steel store.
Yes. HazSafe® boxes help you comply with COSHH regulations, as demanded by law, for the secure storage of hazardous materials, with a sealed welded body, internal ventilation and hazard labelling. Storage is one part of COSHH, so it should sit alongside your risk assessments and safe systems of work.
Volatile substances such as solvents and fuels give off vapours, and in a sealed box those fumes concentrate and become a fire or health risk. Internal ventilation lets the vapours disperse, which lowers the risk each time the box is opened.
Yes. The fully welded steel body is sealed, so a split container or a leak stays inside the box rather than spreading across the site. This makes it a secure way to store liquid hazardous substances alongside solids.
Match the size to the number and size of your containers. The 380 x 360 x 370mm box suits a few small items, the mid sizes suit a general on-site stock, and the 555 x 1190 x 420mm unit takes bulkier drums and cans. The size guide above gives a rough steer for each.
Yes. Hazard warning labels are included as standard, and the high-visibility yellow finish makes the box easy to identify on site. The box takes your own padlock on its catch lock.
