Aside from laboratories, schools should also take extra precautionary measures to ensure safety of their staff and especially students from any fire that may be caused by any flammable liquid stored in the premises. A flammable liquid storage cabinet should be set up to protect against any imminent danger. The flammable liquid storage cabinet is constructed specifically to store flammable liquid.

Just like any document that has a safe file cabinet to be stored in, any flammable liquid should also have a flammable liquid storage cabinet. It should have cupboard locks as well to ensure that no unauthorized person can open the cabinet.

In some parts of the world, there have been news reports that schools have been closed down because of spillage of flammable liquid chemicals or unauthorized use of flammable liquid chemicals caused by an unsecured flammable liquid storage cabinet.

This flammable liquid storage cabinet should be properly labeled in red and state that fire should be kept away at all instances. Furthermore, the set up of a flammable liquid storage cabinet should conform to rules set by the government. To ensure safety, the school or laboratory area’s fire department should have checked it. In so doing, a permit should be posted on the nearby premises to inform people about its adherence to rules and regulations.

Some institutions require that a laboratory that stores a specific flammable liquid in a flammable liquid storage cabinet should be set up at the basement level in order to control use and ventilation. This would also consider the electrical wirings and location of fire extinguisher cabinets of a laboratory or school.

In high risk places where ten or more gallons of flammable liquid will be used or handled, rules state that more than one flammable liquid storage cabinet should be maintained.
