Hi can anyone help me out? I've done a few searches on here and through the CSIS manual but can't find.

Class 3 Flammable goods how much in a department before you have to have a flammable goods cabinet, I'm sure I've seen it in the CSIS manual before.

thanks

Section 1.3 Dangerous Goods Legislation pg 19.

In a laboratory block/building: '100L maximum, plus 250L in an approved flammable liquids cabinet'.

Good luck with flammables cupboard refurbishment. If you don't score a vented model, you can wrap the lids with PVA electricians tape to seal in the fumes. Its a chep but effective way of preventing inhalation of fumes when you need to rummage in that cupboard. Mabey do it when you first set up new cupboard and then renew it stocktake as needed.

If you have a licence to store flammable liquids and are a level b school page 19 says you can store 100L max in a lab block BUT
it also says on page 7 that up to 20L may be stored together without requiring a flammable cabinet.

Curie, where are you getting your information from????? Level B school, page 19.

Page 7, as I said.

section 1.3
Figure 1.3-1.
Dangerous goods storage in schools Guidance notes for DET schools
Flammable liquids - up to 20 L may be stored together in a laboratory, prep room, Tas workshop or visual arts workshop without requiring a FLC. It must be stored securely. Up to 100L may be stored in an entire school without the need for a dangerous goods licence or flammable liquids cabinet.

CSIS am I correct? Sorry you through me when you said a Level B.

That limit 20L sounds more like it.
100L and additional 250L in flammable cabinet seems VERY excessive for a school.

Hi to all labbies,
I am looking for a new flammables cabinet. Has anyone bought one recently and can help me out with information, cost, size (250 litres) availability and if they are any good and suit the purpose intended?
Many thanks.

I purchased one from Storemaster a couple of years ago. Australian made. Very happy with the service and the product.
