Safe storage of flammable liquids in work areas Safe storage of flammable liquids in bottles, canisters or barrels in work areas plays an important role in the risk assessment – in particular with respect to fire and explosion protection. The primary safety objective is to minimise the fire load in the work areas and prevent the stored substances from causing an additional hazard. State of the art safety storage cabinets with a defined fire resis- tance have proven an effective solution for many years.
