Essential for staff protection and laboratory regulatory compliance, safety cabinets are key equipment for the secure storage of hazardous products used in laboratories and industry. Whether storing solvents, acids, bases, toxic or flammable substances, an appropriate safety cabinet helps prevent fire, leaks and contamination while protecting personnel and facilities.
Also known as ventilated, containment or safety storage cabinets, these units are designed to store chemicals according to their hazard level. They comply with laboratory safety standards and integrate retention systems, ventilation or fire-resistant construction to control chemical risks and maintain a safe working environment.
Different models are available depending on the products stored: corrosive, toxic or flammable chemicals, solvents or lithium-ion batteries. Choosing the right cabinet depends on the nature of the substances and the safety requirements of your activity.
Main safety cabinet categories :
> Filtered ventilation cabinets
