Chemical storage refers to the safe and compliant containment of hazardous substances, liquids and controlled materials within a workplace. This includes storing oils, cleaning agents, acids and other chemicals in appropriate units such as chemical shelving, COSHH cabinets or drum racking.
To organise a chemical storage room effectively, start by separating substances based on their hazard classification, such as flammable, corrosive or toxic materials. Store incompatible chemicals apart to prevent dangerous reactions. Use clearly labelled COSHH cabinets for higher-risk substances and chemical shelving with sump trays for lower-risk liquids. Keep frequently used items easily accessible, ensure containers are tightly sealed, and maintain clear signage throughout the area. Regular inspections and updated safety data sheets (SDS) should also form part of your routine.
Chemicals should be stored in a controlled, compliant way to reduce risks such as spills, leaks, fire hazards and exposure. This usually means keeping substances in clearly labelled, sealed containers and storing them in the correct equipment, such as chemical shelving with sump trays or lockable COSHH cabinets.
Chemicals should also be separated based on hazard type (for example acids away from flammables), kept away from heat sources, and stored in areas with clear signage and restricted access where needed. Regular checks for leaks, damage and expiry dates are also essential for maintaining a safe storage environment.
Chemical storage shelving is typically open and designed for easy access to lower-risk substances such as oils and cleaning fluids. Many units include sump trays to help contain minor leaks. Cabinets, on the other hand, provide enclosed and lockable storage, making them suitable for higher-risk or regulated substances. COSHH cabinets are designed to meet specific safety standards and may be fire-resistant, depending on the chemicals being stored. The right choice depends on the type of substance, its hazard level and your compliance requirements
Our open chemical shelving is well suited to automotive workshops, garages and industrial environments. Built with a galvanised steel frame, it withstands tough conditions, including exposure to oils and everyday workshop wear. The open design and wide shelves make it easy to organise containers of different sizes and access them quickly during busy working days.
Strict regulations apply when handling chemicals and hazardous substances. Higher-risk materials, such as certain acids, must be stored in designated hazardous substance cabinets that can be locked to restrict access to authorised personnel. For lower-risk products, our chemical shelving is a perfect solution. With integrated sump trays, they offer a practical alternative and help contain minor spills while keeping containers visible and within reach. AJ Products UK provides compliant options to suit different safety requirements.
To create a more efficient workspace, combine our chemical storage shelving with other warehouse shelving and racking systems. Mobile storage bin racks keep small components, fixings and tools close to hand, while reinforced wire shelving provides strong, open storage suitable for heavier equipment in workshop or customer-facing areas.
Galvanised chemical racks that help reduce spill risks
We offer galvanised chemical storage shelving with integrated sump trays, providing easy access to chemicals and oils while helping reduce the risk of spills and leaks.
If a container leaks, the perforated shelves allow up to 50% of the spill to pass through the surface, directing fluids into the sump tray positioned beneath the bottom shelf. This built-in system helps manage drips and minor leaks more effectively, making these chemical racks a safe and convenient option for cleaning fluids, motor oils and other lower-risk substances.
To support wider site safety, we also supply additional health and safety equipment, including spill trays, spill kits, floor safety signs, hazard warning tape and perimeter barriers. Together with our chemical shelving solutions, these products help you maintain a safer, clearly organised working environment for your staff.
Choose chemical shelving solutions at AJ Products UK
For over 20 years, AJ Products UK has supplied chemical storage equipment to warehouses, laboratories and manufacturing facilities. Our best-selling chemical storage options include COSHH storage cabinets and drum racking, giving businesses a safe and compliant way to manage hazardous substances on site.
Our COSHH cabinets are lockable and fitted with secure doors to restrict access and protect staff. All units meet relevant industry standards and are designed to support correct chemical segregation. Depending on what you store, you may need a fire-resistant chemical cabinet, while other substances simply require a code-compliant unit. To make this easier, our range includes yellow cabinets for hazardous substances, red cabinets for pesticides and white cabinets for acids.
For larger containers, we also supply drum racking, offering a space-saving way to store drums and barrels securely while keeping your work area organised and accessible.
