Flammable and Combustible Liquid Storage
The storage of flammable and combustible liquids in a laboratory, shop or building area must be kept to the minimum needed for research and operations. When large quantities of flammable liquids are present in a laboratory, they must be stored in a flammable liquids storage cabinet. Flammable-liquid storage cabinets are not intended for the storage of highly toxic materials, acids, bases, compressed gases or pyrolytic chemicals.
