Fireproof Cabinets — Expert Answer
What fireproof cabinet is appropriate for HR employee record storage?
Human resources departments handle sensitive employee information — personnel files, benefits records, performance reviews, and payroll data — that must be both protected from fire and secured against unauthorized access. A fireproof filing cabinet with a quality locking mechanism (key lock or combination lock) is the standard HR storage solution. Lateral fireproof cabinets are popular in HR because they hold more files per unit and provide easier access to active employee folders. For digital HR records, a UL Class 150 data-rated cabinet protects backup media. At minimum, a 1-hour UL Class 350 rated cabinet is appropriate for HR paper records.
