Flammables should be stored in a separate cabinet designed specifically to meet OSHA and NFPA requirements. They should be kept away from other chemicals to avoid the danger of explosion or fire. Some corrosives are incompatible with each other and should be stored separately. Acids and bases can both be corrosives but they sometimes react violently when together. They should be stored separately from each other, too. Recognizing the different properties and characteristics of these various chemicals will help you work more safely with them. Here are two cabinets which allow you to store incompatible chemicals together – yet separately.
