This one choice can mean the difference between safety and catastrophe.

Many workplaces think,

“We’re careful with our chemicals. We don’t need a flammable cabinet.”
Until one spark proves otherwise.

At Spilldoc, we’ve seen how underestimating fire risks leads to devastating losses, costly investigations, and preventable injuries.

If you’re storing flammable liquids—even just a few cans—you need to read this.

⚠️ The Fire Didn’t Start in the Cabinet—It Started Because There Was None

Case in point: A client stored cleaning solvents in a metal shelf, thinking it was “safe enough.”                                         
When a nearby welding spark landed on a spill, the result was an instant flash fire.

The aftermath?                                       

• A burnt facility
  

• 3 injured workers
  

• 4-week shutdown
  

• $80,000 in penalties
  

• All because there was no proper flammable cabinet
  
  

🧯 What’s a Flammable Cabinet Really Meant to Do?

A lot more than just store cans.
A certified flammable storage cabinet (like Spilldoc’s) is built to:

✅ Contain spills internally
✅ Delay fire with heat-resistant double walls
✅ Control vapors via built-in ventilation ports
✅ Reduce ignition risk with self-closing doors
✅ Keep your workplace compliant with NFPA, OSHA, and FM standards

🚫 Common Excuses We Hear (And Why They’re Dangerous)

“We only use small quantities.”
Flammable vapors don’t care how much liquid you have. One cup is enough to ignite.

“We’ve never had a fire.”
Most companies only realize the danger after their first incident.
Why wait?

“We can’t afford it right now.”
But can you afford:

• Injury claims
  

• Fire damage
  

• Legal penalties
  

• Losing customer trust?
  
  

🧪 Flammable Chemicals Come in All Forms

Are you storing or using any of the following?

• Paint thinners
  

• Acetone                                        

  

• Alcohol
  

• Solvents
  

• Fuels (diesel, petrol, kerosene)
  

• Cleaning agents
  

If yes, you need a certified flammable cabinet.
