The Global Harmonization System (GHS) should be used when working with hazardous materials. When storing these hazardous goods, there are two main federal regulations to follow: The National Fire Codes of Canada (NFCC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in the United States. It is key to ensure the local province\/state is consulted for any additional requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flammable storage cabinets are a very common sight in many workplaces, but an individual needs to be aware of the basic regulations when using these cabinets. First and foremost, there should always be a check-in with the manufacturer on the capacity that is allowed in the particular cabinet. Even though the regulations may allow a larger quantity stored together, the cabinet may have a specific requirement. Cabinet ratings can vary from 7.5L (2 gallons) to 340 L (90 gallons).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>OSHA (United States)\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>No more than 25 gallons<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of flammable liquids shall be stored in a room outside of an approved storage cabinet.
