One stop to safe storage
04 September 2014
The increasing amount, variety and complexity of hazardous materials in the workplace makes the need for their secure storage ever more pressing to avoid the risk of fire or explosion.
Hazardous materials such as acids, alkalis, flammable liquids and pressurised gases need to be stored directly at the workplace in secure cabinets, so they can be safely and quickly accessed.
Conforming to the requirements of EN Standard 14470 for maximum fire safety, Asecos’s safety cabinets, such as its Type 90 cabinet, protect their contents from fire for at least 90 minutes. Asecos’s cabinets also prevent internal leakages and ensure any vapours are drawn off by their mechanical ventilation systems, which ensure a 30-fold air exchange per hour.
Asecos offers its customers advice on its wide choice of cabinets, which are based on individual need and the nature and quantity of the hazardous materials being stored.
