The chemical substances will become unstable and react hazardously when the temperature rises. Therefore, the safety matchboxes must be stored in low-temperature (Not cold weather).
Check whether any hazardous substances are placed near the matchboxes that are stored. For example, the matchboxes must NOT be stored near flammable objects, cigarettes, electric sparks, crackers, chemicals, wires etc. It becomes even more dangerous when both of these products are stored together. Adding to this, even the tools that are placed near the matchboxes must be explosion-proof equipment for safety.
