From science classrooms to research facilities, the principles of laboratories are the same. Cleanliness, order and control in order to reduce contamination and ensure safety. Help your lab to be a more secure and less dangerous place. If you are looking to increase the care of the materials you work with, chemical storage cabinets should absolutely be on your list. Here’s why:

Proper designation ensures fewer mistakes

Using proper dangerous or chemical storage cabinets aren’t just a requirement for a lab. They’re also very useful in reducing the number of human error mistakes. They provide a place that keeps everything in its proper place. Chemical cabinets are excellent for providing more space for hazardous materials. This means you can keep certain chemicals away from others, or with those that are similar. Furthermore this can prevent any possible mistakes when it comes to more dangerous substances that should not come into contact with each other.

Provide better overnight security

Though you’d like to think of your laboratory as secure, break-ins or theft can happen in practically any workplace.  In many locations, the things that can be stolen are far less dangerous or harmful. Locking chemical storage cabinets can keep those at-risk items off limits. Ensure that materials are kept safe overnight and when you’re out of the lab. This is also a good move to ensure younger or unqualified staff can’t access chemicals that may be harmful to them.

Isolate dangerous items

Many laboratories have chemicals that can be extremely hazardous to humans. A chemical storage cabinet can provide that barrier between the material and your staff. It also provides an additional door to open and a reminder to wear the appropriate safety equipment before they can even access the chemical. From hazardous material stickers to reminders to wear gloves and goggles, this extra surface therefore provides you with more space for sensible warnings.
