The safety cabinet by Eagle is a hazardous storage cabinet that features two manually closing doors and can be used for storing safety cans that contain flammable liquids.
Made of 18-gauge galvanized steel, it is resistant to rust, dents, and certain chemicals.
Gauge refers to thickness (the lower the gauge, the thicker the material).
The cabinet's top, sides, doors, and bottom are double-walled, with 1-1/2 inches of space between the walls, to reduce fire risk.
The yellow powder-coated finish resists scratches, chipping, fading, and other forms of wear.
Each adjustable shelf is supported by four brackets and can hold up to 350 pounds.
The cabinet doors are kept securely shut by a three-point key lock and button latch.
Continuous piano hinges attach the doors to the cabinet, providing more security than typical butt hinges.
The door sill is 2 inches high to help keep moisture out.
Two 2-inch vents allow internal vapors to escape, each equipped with a fire baffle and cap to help prevent ignition of liquids inside the cabinet.
A ground connection facilitates grounding and helps prevent static sparks.
Four adjustable feet allow leveling of the cabinet.
A safety warning label in English, French, and Spanish alerts users to the cabinet's contents.
The cabinet complies with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard 1910.106 and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code 30 for safe storage and handling of flammable liquids.
Hazardous storage cabinets are utilized to store, organize, and segregate safety cans containing flammable or hazardous liquids.
Some cabinets are constructed from galvanized steel and are double-walled to minimize fire risk.
Others are made from polyethylene, which is resistant to certain acids and corrosive liquids.
Cabinets may feature standard hinged doors that close manually or self-closing hinged or sliding doors that close automatically.
They can be color-coded: yellow for flammables; red for combustibles; blue for corrosives; green for pesticides; silver or light neutral for laboratory materials; and white or gray for other waste or outdoor lockers.
Certain cabinets are FM Approved and comply with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards for the storage and handling of flammable liquids.
Hazardous storage cabinets are used in various commercial and industrial settings and can also be suitable for home use.
