Hazard Alert & Poster: Flammable Storage Cabinets

Flammable storage cabinets and rooms play a critical role in protecting facilities by keeping flammable liquids, aerosols, and chemicals safely separated from general storage areas, reducing the risk of accidental fires or explosions. This Hazard Alert provides guidance on proper cabinet and room design, classifications of flammable and combustible liquids according to NFPA 30, and best practices to minimize hazards associated with improper storage. Since NFPA 30 has been adopted as Colorado’s statewide minimum standard, with local governments permitted to enforce stricter requirements, understanding and following these guidelines is essential for compliance and safety.

Hazard Alert & Poster: Pre- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals widely used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s. Known for their resistance to heat, water, and oil, PFAS are found in items like food packaging, nonstick cookware, firefighting foams, water- and stain-resistant textiles, and personal care products such as shampoos, dental floss, and makeup. However, their production and use have led to environmental contamination.

Read our Hazard Alert for more information about how PFAS are used, the risks involved, and initiatives taken to combat PFAS pollution.
