Medical Cabinets

What are medical cabinets?

All organisations storing drugs or medicines must ensure that the cabinets or lockers they use to do so are strong, secure, and comply with British standards.

The type of medical cabinet that your organisation requires depends on the industry it is in and the number of employees that work on-site.

Some businesses may only require a small, clearly labelled, first aid cube locker, whilst others may require a large medical cabinet or workstation.

Here at CS Storage, we supply businesses nationwide with a selection of different types of medical cabinets including:

• First aid cube lockers.
• First aid workstations.
• Lockable medical cabinets.
• Medical workstations.

Features of our high-quality medical storage cabinets and first aid lockers include:

• Robust, steel build.
• Secure 2-point locking.

• Compliant with British standards.

If you’re not sure about the type of medical storage you need, our team of experts can help you select a solution that meets your requirements and complies with all relevant regulations.

What are the benefits of medical cabinets?

Lockable medical cabinets keep first aid equipment and drugs stored safely and securely in a central location where they can be easily accessed by those authorised to do so if someone becomes unwell or injured, or in the event of a medical emergency.

Key benefits of installing a medical cabinet in the workplace include:

• Comply with health and safety regulations.
• Prevent unauthorised access to medicines.
• Store drugs in a safe and controlled environment.
• Easily identified for a fast response during a medical emergency.
• Help to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria.

Where are medical cabinets used?

Lockable medical cabinets are widely used throughout the health and social care sector by pharmacies, hospitals, doctor's surgeries, care homes, and other healthcare facilities.

However, it’s not just the healthcare industry that requires storage for medicines and first aid equipment. Here at CS Storage, we have supplied businesses in almost every industry with medical storage furniture, from schools to offices and construction sites to retail stores. Every business requires first aid storage at a minimum to comply with health and safety regulations and keep employees safe.

Do medical cabinets have to be kept at a specific temperature?

Over time, medicines can begin to break down and degrade, and high temperatures can speed up this process. Most medicines state on their label that they should be kept at temperatures no higher than 25C. Medicine cabinets should be kept away from heat sources and direct sunlight in a room where the temperature does not exceed 25C.
