Aerosol Can Storage Cages

What is Aerosol can storage

There wouldn’t be many days in your life that you don’t use an aerosol can. Deodorant, spray paint and fly spray are products that most people would use in everyday life, but did you know that they are classed as Class 2 Dangerous Goods. Hidden within the can that you hold in your hand are complex chemical properties that if not treated with care can end in disaster. Disposing of your aerosol cans is important but from a business perspective where and how you store them could be a lifesaving decision.

You will have noticed now that when you take a trip to the hardware store to buy spray paint that they are now stored in a cage. This is because they need to be stored in accordance with AS/NZS 3833-2007 under the Australian Dangerous Goods Code. As well as saving space there are six major reasons that you should store your aerosols in a cage.

1. Security – Keep them locked and out of reach.
2. Weather Projection – Stable environment, aerosols don’t like swings in temperature.
3. Projectile Protection – if there is an accident the cage will provide protection.
4. Shelving/Storage – plenty of safe shelving.
5. Ventilation – helps to cool the cans.
6. Isolation – store the cans in an isolated area in your workplace or home.
