If you keep flammable liquids on site, from petrol, diesel and solvents to thinners, adhesives and aerosols, they need to be stored securely, away from ignition sources, and in a way that keeps vapours under control. FlamSafe flammable liquid storage boxes help you comply with the safe storage of chemicals and flammable liquids, and support your duties under the DSEAR regulations. 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 vapours building up, and arrive in high-visibility red with hazard warning labels as standard.

Flammable liquids are among the most dangerous materials on any site. Under the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR), employers must control the risks from flammable substances, and safe storage is central to that: keeping quantities down in the work area, away from ignition sources, contained if they leak, and with vapours ventilated so an explosive atmosphere cannot form. Leaving flammables in an open store, a site cabin or a van is a serious fire and explosion risk.
A FlamSafe® box is built around those risks. The sealed welded steel body keeps flammables locked away and holds any leak or spill inside the box, the internal ventilation lets vapours disperse rather than concentrate, and the high-visibility red finish with hazard warning labels makes it obvious what the box contains. It is a straightforward way to bring your on-site flammable storage up to a standard you can stand behind.
The point of a flammable liquid box is safe containment away from ignition, so it is worth being clear about what does the work. The sealed, fully welded steel body has no weak bolted joints and keeps flammables 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 matters most with flammables: it lets vapours from petrol, solvents and other volatile liquids disperse instead of concentrating into an atmosphere that could ignite.
The high-visibility red finish and the hazard warning labels then do the identification job that a safe site expects, so anyone nearby can see at a glance that the box holds flammable materials and keep ignition sources away. Together, sealed containment, ventilation and clear labelling are what make this a flammable liquid 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 flammable items for a small site |
| 555 x 460 x 420mm | A modest store of solvents, thinners or fuels |
| 555 x 660 x 420mm | A general on-site flammable 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.

FlamSafe® boxes suit any site or workplace that keeps flammable liquids to hand. Construction and groundworks teams use them to store fuels, solvents and adhesives securely. Facilities and grounds teams keep petrol, two-stroke mix and cleaning solvents locked away and labelled. Workshops, depots and manufacturing sites use them to segregate flammables from the working area and from ignition sources. Wherever flammable liquids are stored, a purpose-built box makes safe storage simple and demonstrable.

It is a heavy-duty steel box designed to store flammable liquids safely and securely on site, helping you comply with the safe storage of chemicals and flammable liquids. A FlamSafe® box adds internal ventilation, high-visibility red labelling and a sealed welded body, which sets it apart from an ordinary steel store.
Yes. DSEAR requires you to control the risks from flammable substances, and safe storage is central to that. A FlamSafe® box supports those duties with a sealed welded body, internal ventilation and hazard labelling. Storage is one part of DSEAR, so it should sit alongside your risk assessment and controls on quantities and ignition sources.
Flammable liquids give off vapours, and in a sealed box those vapours concentrate and can form an atmosphere that ignites. Internal ventilation lets the vapours disperse, which lowers the fire and explosion 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 flammable liquids on site.
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 red finish makes the box easy to identify on site. The box takes your own padlock on its catch lock.
