Any modifications must not compromise the safety features of the cabinet and should comply with relevant regulations and standards. It's advisable to consult with a safety professional before making any modifications.

Having the right hazardous substance storage cabinet can help reduce the risk of accidents when working with dangerous materials, and minimise risks to worker health if there is ever a spill or leak in the workplace. It can also help improve safety compliance by ensuring all workers know where hazardous substances are located at all times. Finally, having an appropriate storage cabinet gives the peace of mind that comes with knowing your workplace has taken the right steps to ensure everyone's health and safety while working with potentially hazardous substances.

Cabinets are usually described as having a ‘sump capacity', which is the amount of liquid it should safely retain in its base in the event of a spill. The sump is typically located at the bottom of the cabinet and is designed to catch and contain any spills or leaks from the substances stored within the cabinet.

Substances should be grouped by their hazard classification, and incompatible substances should be segregated. Regularly used items should be easily accessible.

Use appropriate PPE and cleanup materials as specified by the substance's SDS. Cabinets should have built-in spill containment features to help manage leaks.

Following the program, we'll provide an executive coach to help you maintain the momentum you've generated in solving your leadership challenge.

This program exceeded my expectations and made me see a new potential in my leadership abilities. Learning from both the faculty and my peers was such a worthwhile experience; I would recommend it to anyone looking to expand their skill set.

This by far is the best leadership program that I’ve been on. The Ivey Academy gave me concrete tools to bring back with me to the office, but also gave me a chance to reflect on my leadership journey and better define my own style. It was the perfect balance of theory, networking and practice!

The Ivey Leadership Program is ideal for mid-to senior-level established leaders with experience managing teams and direct reports.

Properly maintained sump capacities are a key factor in promoting safety and reducing the risks associated with the storage of hazardous substances. In addition to adhering to minimum capacity regulations, best practices also include regularly inspecting and cleaning the sump to ensure its integrity and functionality.

Simply put, if the base of the cabinet isn't fully leak-proof, then an accidental spillage inside the cabinet is at risk of ending up on your workshop floor. This could be a health and safety hazard, so you should take due diligence in choosing a cabinet that works for your workspace.

The Ivey Academy creates a learning experience that make everyone feel comfortable. This in turn allows for deeper learning. You cannot leave The Ivey Academy without making friends.

Regular inspections should be carried out at least annually, with maintenance or replacements as needed. However, more frequent inspections may be necessary depending on the substances stored and the specific requirements of your safety management system.

This depends on the nature of the substance. Refer to the substance's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific storage requirements. Cabinets may need to meet standards for flammability, corrosion resistance, or other specific hazards.

I was a bit concerned with the time commitment (a week) especially during our “budget” time at work but the course was so worth it!! Excellent program, excellent facility, excellent staff.

No, hazardous waste should not be disposed of in general waste bins. It must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations, which may require the use of specialised waste disposal services.

Dedicated cabinets provide improved safety through features like fire resistance, spill containment, and secure locks. They help to organise substances properly, aid in inventory management, reduce the risk of cross-contamination, and ensure compliance with safety regulations.

Regular storage cabinets are typically not suitable as they lack the necessary safety features such as fire resistance and spill containment.

Yes, local regulations may limit the quantity of certain substances that can be stored in a single location. These limits depend on factors like the hazard classification of the substance and the safety features of the storage area.

A hazardous substance is any material that, due to its chemical nature, poses a potential risk to health, safety, or the environment. This includes:

Cabinets for flammable liquids should be fire-resistant and include features like self-closing doors and spill containment.

Through case studies, experiential learning exercises, a 360-degree assessment and post-program coaching, you will journey to a deeper self-awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses as a leader. You’ll return to work with the skills you need to drive performance, orchestrate change, and develop a leadership culture within your organization.

Manufactured in the UK, our hazardous and flammable substance storage cabinets are suitable for a wide range of potentially volatile materials. They are also built to last, and will help your company to stay compliant with health and safety regulations for years to come.

In many jurisdictions, there are specific regulations governing the minimum sump capacity of such cabinets. For example, in the UK, COSHH regulations require that a sump should be capable of retaining at least 110% of the largest container stored within, or 25% of the total liquid storage capacity of the cabinet, whichever is greater. This is to ensure that the cabinet can effectively contain a potential spill, thus minimizing the risk of harmful substances contaminating the surrounding environment or causing harm to people.

In addition to COSHH, other key regulations include the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR), Health and Safety at Work Act, and Environmental Protection Act. Standards like BS EN 14470-1 and BS 476 pertain specifically to storage cabinets for flammable liquids.

Key safety features include fire resistance, spill containment, secure locks, robust construction, and appropriate hazard labelling.

The shift from managing a team to leading within an organization can be difficult to navigate. With greater seniority comes greater responsibility. In order to deliver long-term results for both you and your organization, you need to lead, not manage.

This has been a tremendous experience that is worth the money and time invested. Leadership is not about telling people who or how to do things, but truly taking people from where they are to where they ought to be.

In the event that a shelf is overloaded or that a poorly-sealed container of substances hazardous to health is put away in the cabinet, a spillage can occur inside. COSHH cabinets differ in specifications, and importantly, in their ability to control the spillage of hazardous substances. Not all cabinets have fully sealed interiors, safely containing any hazardous substances that could leak or spill inside - many have removable sumps to catch spills, but these can allow dangerous liquids to escape the cabinet or pose a risk of liquids being spilled over an employee who may be tempted to remove a part-filled sump.
