Class 4 Dangerous Goods

Class 4 Dangerous Goods include hazardous materials such as flammable solids, substances that can spontaneously combust, and chemicals that react dangerously when exposed to water. Examples include sulfur, magnesium, sodium, lithium, phosphorus, and other reactive materials commonly used in industrial and manufacturing environments. Because these substances can ignite easily or react violently, they must be stored in specialised dangerous goods cabinets to minimise fire risk and prevent dangerous chemical reactions.

Class 4 Dangerous Goods storage cabinets are designed to safely contain reactive chemicals and comply with Australian Standard AS/NZS 5026 for the storage and handling of Class 4 substances. Typically constructed from durable double-walled steel with self-closing doors, ventilation points, and liquid-tight spill containment sumps, these cabinets help reduce ignition hazards and provide secure, compliant storage for flammable solids and reactive chemicals in workplaces and laboratories.
