Lockers & Personal Storage — Expert Answer

Are there rules about what can be stored in office lockers from a fire-code perspective?

Fire codes (NFPA 101, IFC) generally prohibit storage of flammable liquids, aerosols in large quantities, and materials that would significantly increase fuel load in an occupied locker room. In most office environments, normal personal belongings (clothing, bags, food, electronics) present no fire-code issues. However, in manufacturing or laboratory settings, lockers adjacent to work areas may be subject to occupancy-specific storage restrictions. Lockers in corridors that serve as egress paths may also be subject to limits on combustible storage. Always consult your local fire marshal if there is any doubt.
