Working out how to choose a flammable storage box comes down to what you store, how much of it, and where the box will live. Get those right and you have a secure, ventilated store that keeps your flammable liquids safe and helps you meet your DSEAR duties. This guide walks through each decision using the FlamSafe range, which comes in five sizes.
A flammable storage box is a secure, purpose-built container for keeping flammable liquids safely on site. A FlamSafe box is a sealed, fully welded steel unit that holds any leak or spill inside, internally ventilated so vapours disperse, finished in high-visibility red with hazard warning labels, and fitted with a catch lock that takes your own padlock. It helps you comply with the safe storage of chemicals and flammable liquids.
| Size (H x W x D) | Best For |
|---|---|
| 380 x 360 x 370mm | A few small containers, aerosols or flammable items on 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 |
If you are between sizes, size up. A little extra room lets you keep containers upright and separated, which is safer than packing them in tight.
