Features of a drum cabinet

A drum for storing hazardous materials is a storage facility and must be kept in a professional manner accordingly. Therefore, a drum cabinet for the most demanding requirements should have other relevant features in addition to its sufficient size:

  • Fire resistance: flammable and explosive substances may only be stored in fire-resistant interior spaces. Such a fire-resistant drum cabinet must be able to withstand fire for a certain period of time. For example, a drum cabinet f90 provides resistance to fire for 90 min.
  • Secure doors: the doors of the cabinet should be easy to open in order to be able to store and retrieve drums at any time in a few simple steps. At the same time, a high level of security must be ensured. Security locks or special locking devices are therefore mandatory to protect stored hazardous substances from unauthorized access.
  • Extraction: Since substances can easily escape during the storage of large quantities or, if necessary, the contents are decanted, drum cabinets are equipped with a special extraction system. This ensures that your laboratory personnel are not exposed to toxic and explosive vapors when opening the cabinet or removing substances.

Where is a drum cabinet used?

The storage of hazardous substances in drums is important in various industries. In addition to chemical industry plants and chemical wholesalers, drum cabinets can also be found in the construction industry, in medicine or in the energy sector. The drums allow storage of both liquid and solid materials. These include acids or alkalis, for example, but also ethanol, gasoline or gear oil. Solids include carbonates or sulfates.

Are you looking for a storage facility for other hazardous materials? At MedSolut.com, you will find a wide range of hazardous materials cabin ets - for example, chemical cabinets, gas cylinder cabinets or environmental cabinets.

 

Storage of drums in the workplace: what to consider?

Drums for the transport or storage of hazardous substances belong to the so-called portable containers. For this reason, the relevant legal regulations must be observed.

Barrel material

Hazardous materials must always be stored in closed drums or containers. You should pay particular attention to the chemical resistance of the container to the contents. Ideally, substances should be stored in their original container and correctly labeled according to regulations.

Storage location

When storing hazardous substances and setting up drum cabinets, certain rules must be observed for the storage location, which must be chosen in such a way that it does not pose a particular hazard to your employees. Narrow stairwells or passageways, escape and rescue routes and thoroughfares are therefore not suitable as storage locations and should be avoided. In rooms where work is being carried out at the same time, storage is only permitted if increased risks to employees can be ruled out.

Storage organization

Storage of hazardous material drums should be organized so that storage is clear and orderly and drums can be quickly identified. Ensure that the warehouse remains in an orderly condition. Any substances that are released must be collected and disposed of immediately. Appropriate catch basins and venting systems can help here.

Storage safety

Storage capacity must be provided for the quantities of hazardous substances and container volumes to be stored. Cabinets and shelving should meet the necessary criteria for load-bearing capacity, stability and stability . Also ensure that drums are prevented from falling out or tipping over. The relevant cabinets should be easily accessible so that the drums can be stored or retrieved safely and conveniently with transport equipment, if necessary.

Legal regulations and standards When storing hazardous substances in drums, the Technical Regulations for Hazardous Substances must be observed. In particular, the  following applies TRGS 510 for the storage of hazardous substances in mobile containers. This describes in detail the design of the storage facility, the organization of work, the necessary work equipment, hygiene measures and measures to avert danger.
