OSHA generally expects that all flammable liquids as defined at 1910.106(a)(19) will be kept in a flammable storage cabinet, inside storage room, or flammable storage warehouse per 1910.106(d).
There is an exemption for incidental storage at 1910.106(e)(2)(i) which allows the storage of up to 25 gallons of Category 1 and 120 gallons of Categories 2, 3, and 4 in containers in any one “fire area” of a facility outside a flammable storage cabinet or storage room.
Also, local or state fire code may dictate storage requirements; therefore, contact local fire authorities as they generally know what OSHA requires as well as local and state fire code and will be the best source of information regarding storage.
Also, an employer’s liability insurance carrier may require or restrict the storage of flammable materials, which may affect insurance rates.
