WHAT IS A COSHH CONTAINER?
A COSHH container is a storage unit specifically designed and used for hazardous substances to prevent leaks, spills, and contamination. These chemical containers are built to withstand corrosive and flammable liquids, reducing risks in workplaces such as laboratories, factories, and warehouses. They come in different forms, including chemical waste cans and spill trays.
WHAT ARE THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR COSHH STORAGE?
UK COSHH regulations legally require businesses that handle hazardous substances to store them safely and minimise risks. Employers must ensure that all hazardous materials are stored in appropriate chemical containers or waste cans that are resistant to corrosion and leakage, all dangerous substances must be clearly labelled to inform employees of their contents and associated risks, hazardous substances should be kept away from ignition sources to reduce the risk of fires or explosions, storage areas should have adequate ventilation to prevent the build-up of harmful fumes, and employers must implement spill control measures, such as having spill trays and absorbents on hand, to quickly manage any leaks or accidental spills.
DOES A COSHH CUPBOARD HAVE TO BE YELLOW?
Yellow is the standard colour for hazardous material storage to ensure high visibility, however it is not a legal requirement for chemical containers. Using colour-coded storage can help to quickly identify dangerous substances and improve workplace safety.
