The Unique Features Of Justrite Safety Cabinets Brochure

Safety and QualityAssuranceCompliant Justrite steelSafety Cabinets are specifically designed to meet OSHA regulations and meetthe National FireProtection AssociationStandard Code 30. MostCabinets pass rigorous third party testing by Factory Mutual Researchand/or UnderwritersLaboratoriesand are backed by our Ten-Year Warranty.Safety storage cabinets serve several critical functions:• Safely contain hazardous chemicals to reduce the risk of fire, protecting both personnel and facilities • Identify, organize, and segregate dangerous liquids• Offer compliance with federal OSHA regulations and state and local fire codes• Improve efficiency by allowing solvent to be stored near points of use• Improve security with keyed locking mechanismOne of the leading causes of industrial fires is the improper storage and handling of flammableliquids. It is important to identify and inventory all chemicals in your workplace. Review theMSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for each chemical to determine characteristics and recommended storage practices. To avoid generating toxic gases and to prevent fires andexplosions, it is important to segregate incompatible chemicals. Some local regulationsrequire positive-pressure ventilation. Justrite cabinets offer fire-baffle protected vents to connect to these systems.If the chemical being stored is flammable or combustible, OSHA 1910.106 applies. Your stateand local codes, in all probability, are based on either the National Fire Protection AssociationCode (NFPA 30) and/or the Uniform Fire Code (UFC 79). Section 4.3 of the 2000 edition ofNFPA covers the design, construction, and capacity of storage cabinets. In addition to passing a fire test, NFPA further requires specific cabinet construction. Whereas both metaland wood construction are acceptable, the most popular choice in industry is metal. Onenotable distinction in the Uniform Fire Code 7902.5.9.3.2 is the requirement that all flammableand combustible liquid storage cabinets shall be self-closing.In addition to assuring that cabinets meet applicable codes, it’s important to look for safetystorage cabinets which carry independent third party certification, such as Factory Mutual (FMApproved) or Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL Listed). Codes vary internationally. For example,in some applications in Canada, the Canadian National Fire Code may require cabinets tocarry a ULC listing which requires a more stringent fire test than UL Listing. While NFPA doesnot mandate requirements for the storage of nonflammable acids and corrosives, these chemicals should be properly stored for maximum safety. A wide variety of code compliant cabinets are available in sizes ranging from 4-gallons (15liters) to 120-gallons (454 liters). Smaller cabinets allow solvents to be stored at worksite locations saving costly trips to a central storage room. Undercounter, wall mount and piggy-back style cabinets add to safe storage, even when space is at a premium. For high capacitystorage, including storage of 55-gallon drums, larger sized cabinets designed specifically tohouse 30-gallon (114 liter) or 55-gallon (208 liter) drums are available. It’s important to notethat OSHA Code 29 CFR 1910.106 states that not more than 60-gallons may be Class I and IIliquids. Custom sized cabinets are also available for unique requirements.Understanding Safety Cabinets1-847-298-9250 • 1-800-798-9250 • Fax: 1-847-298-3429 • www.justritemfg.com Fail-safe closing mechanismensures three-point latchingsystem works the first time,every time.
