Hazardous Material Lockers & Buildings

When working with hazardous materials—whether it’s in labs, warehouses, or industrial manufacturing applications—they need to be stored safely and securely. Proper storage and handling of these hazardous materials is vital, or you risk injury or potential property damage. Hazardous material lockers allow for the safe storage of hazardous materials and volatile chemicals keeping them away from people and away from possible ignition sources.

Hazardous material storage cabinets and lockers are used to store a variety of dangerous materials some of which include corrosive chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and waste. In the event these materials aren’t stored properly, and they spill or ignite, the consequences for personnel and the environment can be devastating.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How are the buildings shipped?

Buildings are shipped pre-assembled. Up to 12-drum capacity buildings fit in standard trailers. Larger ones go on flatbed trucks.

How are buildings offloaded at my site?

A forklift can unload buildings up to 12-drum capacity. Larger ones may need multiple forklifts or a crane. Offloading can also be arranged for you.

Where should buildings be placed?

Check with your local authorities for setback requirements and wall/roof ratings.

When do I need a fire-rated building?

Fire-rated buildings have FM approval and tested components. They come in 2-hour and 4-hour fire ratings. Check with your local authorities for the required rating for the materials that you are storing. Fire-rated buildings also include self-closing doors and fire dampers.

Which materials require storage in a building?

Flammable and combustible liquids stored in drums outside must be in a chemical storage building. Other hazardous materials that could leak and contaminate the environment should also be in a storage building.

Do I need a heater for my building?

If you're storing liquids that freeze and expand, use an explosion-proof heater. We recommend adding R-11 insulation with a heater in this situation.

Do I need an air conditioner for my building?

If you're storing liquids with a low flash point and hot weather is evident where you reside, this could raise the internal temperature and therefore you should use an explosion-proof air conditioner. We recommend adding R-11 insulation with an A/C.

What types of fire suppression systems are available?

Dry chemical or water sprinkler systems are common options. The choice depends on the materials you store. Water might not extinguish all fires.

What types of lighting options are available?

Hazmat buildings offer explosion-proof interior and exterior lighting (optional). Agri-Chemical buildings include dust-proof fluorescent interior light and weatherproof exterior light with a photocell (standard).

Can I store several different materials in the same building?

Classify the materials by hazard. Compatible materials can be stored together. Incompatible materials need separate buildings, as per OSHA requirements.
