Class 6 Toxic Substance

Class 6 Toxic Substances are hazardous chemicals that can cause serious health effects, injury, or death if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. These substances include poisons, laboratory reagents, pesticides, and industrial chemicals such as cyanides, arsenic compounds, mercury, and phenols. Because of their high toxicity, these chemicals must be stored in dedicated dangerous goods cabinets to prevent accidental exposure, spills, and contamination in the workplace.

Class 6 Toxic Substance storage cabinets are designed to safely isolate toxic materials and comply with Australian Standard AS/NZS 4452 for the storage and handling of toxic substances. Typically constructed from durable double-walled galvanised steel with self-closing doors, adjustable shelves, and spill containment sumps, these cabinets help contain leaks and ensure safe, compliant storage of toxic chemicals in laboratories, industrial facilities, and workplaces.
