Where can I put a Flammable Liquids Cabinet?

According to Australian Standard AS1940:2017, a flammable liquid storage cabinet requires a ‘NO SMOKING, NO IGNITION SOURCES WITHIN 3m’ warning placard and a Class 3 Flammable Liquids - Dangerous Goods Label. The correct use of these signs is dictated by ADG Code (Australian Dangerous Goods Code) and should be used as a guideline when purchasing signs for your flammable liquid storage cabinet. Our cabinets come with all the required signs included for the outside of the storage cabinet.

Flammable Liquid cabinets should never be installed within 3m of an ignition source. Overloaded power outlets could potentially ignite flammable vapours from inside the cabinet.
