Specialist Material Cabinets

Similar to the medical storage cupboards, specialist material cupboards adhere to same standards as some of the other cupboards mentioned here with one particular caveat, these cupboards offer specific coloured panels to better identify which materials are kept inside along with accompanying labels, these materials can be:

• Hazardous materials, identified by an explosive flame symbol.

• COSHH, identified by an exclamation mark symbol.

• Acid/Alkalis, identified by the yellow symbol of a hand and surface suffering from corrosion.

• PPE, identified by a blue label displaying ‘personal protective equipment’.

• Toxic, identified by a white label containing a skull and cross bones.

• Flammable liquids, identified by a red flame symbol.

• Pesticide and agrochemical, identified by an exclamation mark on a red panel.

Apart from the colour coded doors and identifying labels, there are no distinct differences between these cupboards in terms of build quality. Due to the higher security risk of these cupboards containing harmful substances, they are also available with three point locking to secure both the top and bottom of the door to the frame.
