Posted By Sara D I'm looking into creating a COSHH cupboard. It will store detergents, bleach, soap and other general office cleaning products. Does the COSHH cupboard have to have to be secure? Or is a cupboard clearly marked and used exclusively for COSHH products okay?

Posted By ciara brennan Hi i have never heard of a COSHH cupboard, but i would say to please be careful when storing hazardous chemicals together, some may react with one and other and cause fumes/fire etc. Detergants arent so bad, but please be careful with bleach, it is very reactive and has the potential to release chlorine.... sorry ive not been of much help

Posted By Ron Hunter If you compare what you have with what your local supermarket has on open public display, do you really have a problem at all? The 'cupboard under the sink' is surely good enough?
