Hi,
Can anyone help with an overview for the requirements for the storage of small quantities of flammables (thinners etc) paints, both water based and others and aerosols within a warehouse environment.

Quantities will be less than 50 litres of each.

Thanks

Alan.

Sealed and bunded storage cupboard/chest that will hold twice the volume of stored contents.

That is a steel cupboard/chest, lockable and the obvious, keep away from fire escapes, electrical systems, welfare facilities etc

I am a little puzzled "small quantities of flammables (thinners etc) paints, both water based"

Water based AND flammable?

Showing my ignorance here I suspect!
