context_page_description: A safety cabinet is used for the safe storage of flammable chemical substance or compressed gas cylinders.
  Primarily, they should meet three major safety requirements:
  minimise the fire risks associated with the storage of flammable substances and protect the cabinet’s contents for a known minimum length of time. It should prevent the materials stored in the cabinet from contributing to the spread of fire or leading to an explosion in the event of a fire;
  minimise the amount of vapour released into the working environment;
  retention of accidental spillages within the cabinet.
  Areas of application and uses are diverse: pharmaceutical, universities, hospitals, industry, workshops, public organisations working with hazardous substances etc. In essence, any facility where flammable substances are stored.
