OSHA does not require the use of flammable storage cabinets unless the total amount of flammable and/or combustible liquids reaches a given amount. For a review of flammable and combustible liquid definitions and storage requirements, check out LSS EZ Facts Document No. 179 . Local authorities and insurance companies may require the use of flammable storage cabinets in quantities less than that of OSHA. Can flammable solids or compressed gas cylinders be stored in a flammable liquid storage cabinet? No. Per 29 CFR 1910.253(b)(2)(ii), Cylinders shall not be kept in unventilated enclosures such as lockers and cupboards. Per 29 CFR 1910.109(c)(1)(i), flammable solids (explosives) shall be kept in magazines which meet the requirements of this paragraph.
