However, with an array of options on the market, you may need some assistance deciding which Dangerous Goods container you’re going to choose.

But before we get into all the details, let’s check out some other queries that you may have when you’re looking to buy a hazardous chemical storage container.
Is The Chemical Container Compliant?
When it comes to storing Dangerous Goods, compliance is everything. With each class of Dangerous Goods comes a unique set of risks. To effectively control these risks, you need the appropriate risk control measures in place in all areas of your business that handle or store hazardous chemicals. .
By choosing a compliant DG container, you’re investing in a product that’s been specifically constructed to meet stringent Australian Safety Standards. Therefore, you’re buying a chemical container that will help your business protect your people, property and the environment from the many risks associated with storing bulk quantities of hazardous chemicals.
STOREMASTA manufactures and sells a range of chemical storage containers including:
- Miniseries Containers – a heavy duty cabinet that can store up to 850 litres of hazardous chemicals in the outdoor environment.
