Laboratories utilize materials that can be damaging to both humans and the facility. Proper storage of materials like acids, chemicals, corrosives, etc. is imperative. The result of improper storage could lead to facility damage, as well as serious accidents, illness and even death.

While fume hoods and biosafety cabinets create a safe environment for acids, chemicals, etc. while you are working, they are not suitable for storage while you aren’t.

Specialized storage cabinets for flammable, corrosive, and damaging chemicals are available, and they will protect the integrity of those items, as well as employees and the space around them.
