❗ Have You Checked If Your Cabinet's Vents Are Blocked Without Realising It?

Blocked vents can trap flammable vapours, making your cabinet an explosion hazard.

Why This Matters:

Those side or rear vents on your cabinet? They’re not optional. They’re specifically designed to prevent the buildup of flammable vapours inside the cabinet.

But if those vents are:

• Blocked by walls or clutter,
  

• Sealed shut during installation,
  

• Or clogged with dust and debris…
  

...then instead of controlling vapours, your cabinet becomes a pressurised bomb waiting to ignite.

Real-World Risk:

Even a tiny spark from nearby machinery or a static charge can cause those vapours to explode, leading to workplace fires, injuries, and heavy regulatory penalties.

What to Do:

• ✅ Keep a clear zone around your cabinet vents.
  

• ✅ Regularly inspect flame arrestors and filters.
  

• ✅ Never seal the vent completely—unless advised by a certified professional.
  

• ✅ Install it according to Spilldoc’s compliance guidelines.
