Many large companies employ a plethora of Laboratory Cabinets and Casework, ranging from used lab cabinets to brand new laboratory cabinets, to protect their flammable liquids and other contained items that need to be stored in a safe, controlled environment.
Fires that occur are because many businesses use unsafe and improperly designed laboratories which cause fires. These labs have not been setup to prevent these fires. Many causes of these fires are as follows:
- There is no Access to the Fire extinguisher. This is a HUGE issue. Make sure your Fire extinguisher is accessible in case of a fire.
- The Laboratory has many flammable chemicals. Make sure that your Chemicals are not stored on the floor, as you could kick them over. Also, make sure they are in a Laboratory Cabinet.
- All electrical that is run to any laboratory cabinets, fume hoods, or casework should be properly installed and grounded, so it does not catch on fire and burn your Laboratory down.
Your Laboratory Cabinets should be used in the proper manner, as described in either the owner’s manual, or from the manufacturer.
- Do NOT store flammable objects that are not necessary for your Laboratory in your lab cabinets.
- Make sure your cabinets are on a level clean surface, so they do not cause spills or damage to your floor.
- Also, the amount of items in your cabinet is a huge issue. Do NOT load your cabinets full of objects and chemicals as this can cause a fire. Use good organization and a filing system so you can recognize your chemicals and where they are in your cabinet.
