We just had one of our OHS guys say we cannot use plywood based on the following, this is a project we did about 20 years ago. 5.34 Combustible materials Except for packaging used to contain flammable or combustible liquids, combustible shelves, racks and other materials are not permitted inside a flammable or combustible liquids storage room or storage cabinet unless required as part of a fire separation. Has anyone come across this, not sure why this is in the regulations. Thank You James Crawford Phaser Fire Protection Ltd.
