Pesticide Storage Cabinet Questions

A pesticide safety cabinet is a specifically-designed storage cabinet used for the safe storage of pesticides and other hazardous chemicals. These cabinets are constructed to prevent spills and leaks from the containers, and to segregate the stored pesticides to avoid cross-contamination. The following set of questions and answers explain how to store pesticides and the requirements for safe storage.

What is a pesticide safety cabinet?

A pesticide safety cabinet allows for the segregation of pesticides and poisons stored at a worksite. The cabinet minimizes the risk of fire and eliminates the potential for drips and spills during the transfer of pesticides, which can be harmful to people, animals and the environment. Pesticide safety cabinets are used by companies specializing in lawn care, golf course management, agricultural interest, and individuals who handle and store pesticides and poisons. Eagle sells pesticide safety cabinets in a number of sizes and configurations to best fit your needs. The cabinets include a poly shelf and bottom trays to help contain small spills and provide extra corrosion protection.

What are the storage requirements for pesticides?

When storing pesticides, read the product label for specific storage instructions. It’s generally recommended to store pesticides in an approved safety cabinet that locks to prevent unauthorized access. Store the pesticides in their original containers with their tops tightly closed and labels properly affixed. If using an assortment of pesticides, store the dry pesticides above the liquid pesticides. This will prevent the liquid pesticides from spilling, leaking or contaminating the dry pesticides. Using a safety cabinet to store pesticides improves the safety of people and personnel, and reduces the risk of fire and accidental poisoning.

What should you look for in a safety cabinet for pesticides?

When choosing between safety cabinets, look for FM and/or UL approvals. These certify the safety cabinet meets OSHA and NFPA standards. Next, identify and inventory all items to be stored. If you’re storing pesticides, for example, look for features including sturdy double-wall, 18-gauge steel construction with 1-1/2-in of air space and dual flame-arresting vents. Additionally, look for a cabinet with a three-point automatic latch and keyed lock to prevent unauthorized access. This improves the safety of people and personnel, and reduces the risk of fire and accidental poisoning. Lastly, look for a cabinet that comes with adjustable shelves. This will make it easier to accommodate the different sized containers used in lawn care, golf course management, and agricultural interest.

Can chemicals be stored with pesticides?

It’s not recommended to store chemicals with pesticides. Generally, it’s recommended to store pesticides separately from all other chemicals to prevent cross-contamination. That’s why there are specially-designed safety cabinets for pesticides. These cabinets are typically painted green with labeling that indicates they contain pesticides. They provide needed security for companies specializing in lawn care, golf course management and agricultural interests.
