Storage Cabinets
Just about every staff member in every workspace works with small items, hardware, and tools that need to be stored when not in use. Also, every worker needs easy access to properly stored safety equipment.
The ready availability of work materials and safety equipment requires well thought out installation of storage cabinets throughout the workplace. Some storage cabinets should be installed where staff members do their jobs. Others, including safety cabinets, should be installed in multiple locations throughout the facility.
Cabinets should be selected for their utility, and for their placement in the work area.
