6 WHYMAINTENANCE MATTERS THE LEGAL BASIS The UK has many regulations governing the maintenance of equipment and employers have a legal duty to ensure that work equipment, including storage cabinets, are kept in good order to meet those requirements. Reasons for the purchase of a safety storage cabinet: ››› Sustainable guarantee of legal security ››› Duty of care for people and the environment ››› Limitation of liability for the company and the business owner However, you will only stay legally on the safe side if you have your safety storage cabinet regularly checked for safety! But nothing has ever happened to us... „It is a fact of life that a fire can occur practically at any time. The fact that in many buildings there has been no fire for decades does not prove that there is no danger, but rather represents a stroke of luck for those aected. The end of which can be expected at any time.“ Quotation from a judgement of the Higher Administrative Court of Münster (file no.: 10 A 363/86 from 11.12.87)
