Yes, manufacturers offer different sizes of cabinets. Generally, the capacity of storage safety cabinets ranges from 15 L to 500 L.

The National Fire Code of Canada does not have specifications for other gasses. However, the National Fire Code instructs users to follow good practices such as the NFPA 55, “Compressed Gases and Cryogenic Fluids Code,” when it does not have requirements for specific situations. This standard is also cited in NFPA 1 for the storage of gases. The gas cabinet specifications are provided in Section 6.18 of the NFPA 55. Section 6.18 requires the gas cabinets to be ventilated and recommends that incompatible gases be stored in separate cabinets. The following maximum quantities for gas cabinets are recommended:

Local fire codes will specify the standard that the storage safety cabinet must meet. The specification for cabinets may vary for different jurisdictions. The standards for storage safety cabinets in the different jurisdictions are as follows:

Generally, storage safety cabinets include dual vents. Depending on the hazardous chemical, the fire codes require vents to be:

If the cabinets are constructed of metal or other conductive material, they may need to be grounded as a precautionary measure when:

Marking and labelling requirements are required specifically for flammable liquid storage safety cabinets. The fire codes do not specify similar requirements for safety cabinets that are intended for other hazardous chemicals.

Incompatible materials, regardless of their physical form (e.g., gas, liquid, solid), must never be stored in the same cabinet, unless storage cabinets are designed with non-combustible or half-an-hour vertical fire barriers or partitions or as required by the fire code. For example:

Yes. The maximum number of cabinets that can be present will vary for different occupancies and hazard classifications of the chemicals. For example:

The storage safety cabinet must have an approval label, which meets the requirements of the standard it was manufactured to. When selecting cabinets, make sure it is certified by the appropriate organization. It is also a good practice to verify the cabinet’s certification by contacting the appropriate certifying organization in case the cabinet is counterfeit. In addition, the manufacturer will have a technical or specification document for their cabinets which should be compared to the requirements in the applicable Code or legislation.

Since the storage safety cabinet is tested in its original manufactured form with the original construction material per a standard stated in the fire code, any modifications will generally affect the cabinet's performance. When cabinets are modified, the certifying agency may require additional tests, inspections, examinations, or other evaluations that will demonstrate that the modified cabinet product continues to fulfill requirements. Unless the modifications have been determined to be insignificant to the structural integrity and fire performance of the cabinet, any other modification will generally void the approval of that product and the manufacturer’s warranty.

Yes. When the maximum allowed quantity outside a storage room is exceeded, gas cylinders can be stored in a gas safety cabinet.  Note that this quantity varies for different occupancies and the hazard classification for the gas. For example, when gas cylinders contain a flammable gas that is lighter than air, according to the National Fire Code of Canada, the total quantity must not be more than:

The need for ventilation depends on the type of hazardous chemicals stored in the cabinet. Storage safety cabinets for flammable liquids that are not toxic are not recommended to be ventilated as it has been shown that it is not necessary for fire protection. However, a cabinet will need to be vented according to the requirements of the local fire code or to good practices when it is used to store:

Flammable liquid storage safety cabinets are cabinets that are specifically designed for the storage of flammable liquids. These cabinets provide temporary protection from a fire. For the cabinet to be effective, it must be used according to local fire code requirements and the manufacturer’s instructions.

For example, the safety data sheet for substance A reports that it is classified as follows WHMIS Hazard class: Corrosive to Metals — Category 1 and TDG Class 8 Corrosive. Based on substance A’s corrosivity hazards, a “polyethylene corrosive and acid” cabinet should be selected.

Most companies follow good practices and use specific colours for liquids that are a specific hazard. These colours are:

Most jurisdictions have either adopted the National Fire Code of Canada or the Code with some modifications.  The exceptions are Ontario, which has its own Fire Code, and Prince Edward Island (PEI) has adopted the “National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1 Fire Code” and the “NFPA 101 Life Safety Code”.

Storage safety cabinets are cabinets used to store hazardous chemicals such as acids, bases, oxidizers, flammable, and other types of chemicals. Many storage safety cabinets are manufactured to store specific types of hazardous chemicals. Their purpose is:

Select a location that does not block exits, walkways, evacuation routes, etc. Generally, manufacturers recommend that storage safety cabinets be located in well-ventilated and low-humidity environments that comply with the local fire code.

CCOHS is not liable for any loss, claim, or demand arising directly or indirectly from any use or reliance upon the information.

Storage safety cabinets are generally selected based on the local fire code requirements, and manufacturer specifications. All types of cabinets (e.g., corrosive, oxidizers, toxic, flammable) must meet the required fire rating to protect the items stored. The fire-resisting material must be compatible with the hazardous chemicals in the containers in case of an unintentional spill.

NOTE: Avoid storing items on top of or near the cabinet including used or oily rags, wastepaper, or other flammable materials.

Colour-coded cabinets are not required or specified in the National Fire Code of Canada, standards for storage safety cabinets, nor in health and safety legislation. Manufacturers produce storage safety cabinets in different colours for the following reasons:

The National Fire Code of Canada requires that flammable liquid cabinets be labelled in conspicuous lettering to indicate that the cabinet contains flammable chemicals and that open flames must be kept away. Meanwhile, NFPA 1 and NFPA 30 require specific wording and font size, colour, as well location where they should be placed on the cabinet. See below for an example:

Storage safety cabinets for other hazardous chemicals must also be labelled according to health and safety legislation, WHMIS requirements, or safe industry practices. Labels should state the type of hazardous chemical stored in the safety cabinet. For example, WHMIS pictograms can be used. This labelling informs workers and emergency responders of the hazards of the stored items in the cabinet.

The National Fire Code of Canada, adopted by almost all jurisdictions (except PEI), sets the maximum amount of flammable and combustible liquid stored in a cabinet to be 500 L. However, Ontario’s Industrial Establishment Regulations limit the maximum to 235 L per cabinet. The maximum amount of flammable liquids for PEI is stated in the NFPA 1 Fire code, which is 120 gals (460 L) (same requirement as in NFPA 30 cited in NFPA 1).

The maximum amount of non-flammable hazardous chemicals in storage safety cabinets is not specified in the National Fire Code of Canada. Follow good practices such as those of NFPA to determine what the quantities should be for a specific occupancy.

If there is no specification for a maximum allowed quantity in the local fire code or health and safety legislation, then for due diligence reasons, good practices need to be followed. For example, “NFPA 430  for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers” specifies the maximum allowed quantities for different types of oxidizing chemicals.

A hazard and risk assessment needs to be done by a safety specialist to determine if the storage safety cabinets must be grounded. Generally speaking, if the cabinets are constructed of metal or other conductive material, they must be grounded when Class 1 flammable liquids are being dispensed in the cabinet.

Storage safety cabinets for substance-specific hazards such as biohazardous or pyrophoric materials will need to meet additional requirements or standards.
