When it comes to managing hazardous materials in the workplace, safety and compliance are paramount. SpillBase offers a comprehensive range of solutions designed to meet New Zealand’s stringent safety standards. Whether you’re dealing with flammable liquids, corrosive substances, or toxic materials, SpillBase has a cabinet tailored to your needs.
Understanding Hazardous Container Storage
Hazardous container storage refers to the secure and compliant storage of dangerous goods to prevent accidents, spills, and exposure. In New Zealand, the storage and handling of hazardous substances are governed by regulations such as the Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 2017 and the AS/NZS 1940:2017 standard for the storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids.
Proper storage ensures that hazardous materials are contained safely, reducing the risk of chemical reactions, fires, or environmental contamination. It also ensures compliance with legal requirements, protecting both employees and the environment.
