How to Choose the Right Storage or Containment Product
| Workplace need | Recommended category | Common application |
|---|---|---|
| Flammable liquid storage | Safety cabinets and safety cans | Paints, solvents, fuels, aerosols and production chemicals |
| Corrosive chemical storage | Corrosive cabinet or chemical-resistant tray | Acids, alkalis, cleaning chemicals and laboratory reagents |
| Leaking drums or IBCs | Spill pallet, bund, overpack or containment bin | Warehouses, chemical stores and loading areas |
| Used solvent wipes or oily rags | Oily waste can or disposal safety container | Maintenance rooms, workshops and paint areas |
| Site-specific hazardous storage | Engineered solution | Outdoor stores, bulk drums, IBC handling and high-volume containment |
Standards and Local Compliance Context
For Malaysia, storage planning should consider DOSH chemical management expectations, CLASS 2013 hazard communication, SDS information and CHRA or USECHH controls where chemicals hazardous to health are handled. For Singapore, SS 532 is commonly referenced for flammable liquid storage, and SCDF fire-safety requirements may apply to flammable liquid premises. NFPA 30, OSHA and FM approval references are often used when comparing flammable cabinet designs.
Safety Storage & Containment FAQ
What is secondary containment?
Secondary containment is a backup barrier, such as a spill pallet, tray, bund or overpack, that captures leaks before liquid spreads to floors, drains or nearby work areas.
When is a flammable cabinet needed?
A flammable cabinet is typically used when flammable liquids are stored at point-of-use or in a chemical store and need better fire-risk control, segregation and housekeeping.
How do I choose between a spill tray and a spill pallet?
Use trays for smaller containers or cabinet shelves, and spill pallets or IBC bunds for drums, pallets and larger chemical containers that need higher sump capacity.
