Dangerous Goods Storage

Dangerous goods storage containers and chemical storage cabinets are essential for safely managing hazardous materials in Australian workplaces, particularly for Class 3 dangerous goods storage involving flammable liquids. Correct storage reduces the risk of fire, chemical reactions, spills and environmental harm, while supporting compliance with workplace safety and insurance requirements.

Storing hazardous substances requires more than simple containment. You need to consider classification, segregation, ventilation, spill control and how materials are handled day to day. A suitable container supports correct storage, minimising risk to people, property and operations.

For warehouses, workshops and industrial facilities, selecting the right storage solution is a practical step towards maintaining a safer and more compliant site.

FAQs: Dangerous Goods Storage Containers

What are dangerous goods?

Dangerous goods are substances or materials that pose a risk to health, safety, property or the environment due to their chemical or physical properties. This includes flammable liquids, toxic substances, corrosives and oxidising agents, all of which require specific storage conditions such as Class 3 storage for flammable liquids.

Do Containit’s hazardous storage containers comply with Australian standards and regulations?

Yes. All Containit dangerous goods storage containers are designed to meet Australian standards and workplace safety laws for the relevant types of dangerous goods. Different types of DG must be stored in their correct cabinets and segregated accordingly so that incompatible chemicals don’t create hazardous situations in the workplace.

What is the difference between outdoor and regular dangerous goods storage cabinets?

Outdoor dangerous goods storage containers are built to withstand weather exposure and are typically used for larger volumes or bulk storage. They often include additional features such as weatherproof construction and integrated bunding. Indoor cabinets are designed for controlled environments, with a focus on safe access, ventilation and space efficiency.

Do Containit products store multiple types of dangerous goods in one unit?

No. Incompatible substances must be stored separately to prevent hazardous reactions. For example, flammable liquids and oxidising agents should never be stored together. Always refer to your Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and contact us if you need guidance on correct segregation.

How do I choose the right dangerous goods storage container for my workshop or warehouse?

The right solution depends on the type of substance, storage volume and operating environment. You'll also need to consider compliance requirements, handling processes and available space.
