The management of hazardous substances in industrial settings is one of the most delicate challenges for purchasing departments and safety managers (RSPP). It's not just about space organization, but about regulatory compliance, worker protection, and environmental risk prevention.
At Mayermoover, we have enriched our catalog with a new range of professional safety cabinets, designed to meet the most stringent demands of the European market. But how do you choose the right model?
Why regulations are the primary selection criterion
The installation of a safety cabinet is not an optional choice but an obligation derived from the Consolidated Law on Safety (Legislative Decree 81/08). Each type of substance requires different technical characteristics:
-
Flammable Liquids: Must be stored in cabinets certified according to standard EN 14470-1, which guarantees fire resistance for extended periods (typically 30, 60, or 90 minutes).
-
Chemical Liquids (Acids and Bases): Require corrosion-resistant materials and adequate ventilation systems to prevent the accumulation of toxic vapors.
-
Lithium Batteries: With the increase in electrification, the fire risk associated with lithium-ion batteries has become a priority. Dedicated cabinets offer thermal protection and automatic extinguishing systems.
-
Phytosanitary Products and Pesticides: Storage must comply with regional and national regulations, ensuring total containment and protection from unauthorized access.
3 Key Factors for the Purchasing Department
When evaluating the purchase of a new cabinet, don't just look at the price. Here's what to analyze:
-
Certifications: Always check for third-party certifications. a "normal" cabinet is not a certified "safety cabinet."
-
Chemical compatibility: Ensure that the construction materials (stainless steel, painted steel, polyethylene) are compatible with the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) of the products you will be storing.
-
Custom design: Standard spaces are not always the best solution. If your company has complex layouts, look for partners who can offer custom designs.
