Hazardous material container
Hazardous material container
Hazardous substances accumulate in many industries and companies. A wide variety of substances can accumulate here - from acids and lubricating oil to waste oil and petrol. Special regulations apply to the storage of all these environmentally harmful substances in order to protect the environment, water and people from damage.
What does a hazardous material container look like?
Hazardous material containers are made of very robust and durable materials, such as galvanized steel. Since hazardous material containers hold flammable, corrosive, and toxic substances, for example, it is imperative that the materials used are able to provide protection for the environment, water, and people. In addition, these containers are usually equipped with a safety lock to prevent unauthorized persons from entering.
Hazardous material containers can and may hold much larger quantities of hazardous materials than hazardous material cabinets. In addition, unlike hazardous material cabinets, they are also suitable for outdoor use. This means that toxic substances can be stored in hazardous material containers at a safe distance from sources of danger, such as heat or flying sparks.
Active or passive storage in hazardous material containers?
Hazardous material containers are approved for active and or passive storage. Passive storage describes the storage of flammable and non-flammable materials. Active storage extends this permission to include the transfer and filling of these substances within the container.
Hazard classes at Schäfer Shop
Hazardous material containers are also to be differentiated according to the hazard classes or categories for which they are approved. Water hazard classes (WGK) and the Globally Harmonised System for the Classification and Labelling of Hazardous Substances (GHS) are particularly worthy of mention here.
