What are Spill Kits?
Spill kits are used to clean up spills at work. They have special materials to soak up spills so they can be thrown away safely. Spill kits should be kept in places where liquids might leak or where work vehicles are used a lot.
A good spill kit should have:
- Absorbent cushions
- Absorbent socks
- Absorbent pads
- Trash bags for throwing away waste
- Gloves
- Goggles
There are different spill kits for different liquids. Make sure you get the right one for the liquid you are working with.
Chemical spill kits are used for strong acids and alkalis. They can soak up almost any chemical quickly. Oil spill kits can clean up oil from land and water. The kit soaks up the oil, leaving the rest of the liquid behind. This is great for cleaning up oil spills in water, like in marine accidents.
Bag Spill Kit
The Shoulder Bag Spill Kit helps you clean up spills fast. Each kit comes in a portable bag that you can carry with you. Inside the kit, you’ll find spill cushions, socks, pads, protective gear, and trash bags. Keep this kit in your factory or warehouse, or take it with you in your work vehicle for emergencies. It’s perfect for dealing with spills right away, especially if you don’t have plant nappies to help.
Spill Kits contain a set of equipment specifically designed to control, contain and clean up hazardous substances and is an essential piece of equipment when harmful substances are at risk of being spilled.
Dangerous substances include:
- Solvents
- Fuels
- Hazardous chemicals
- Oils
- Sewage
- Protein fluids
- Petroleum
- Gasses
- Corrosives
Whist all spill kits should contain general safety equipment such as safety goggles, disposable bags and gloves, specific materials within them vary depending on the potentially spilled substance. The types of equipment can be split into two categories, loose sorbents and materials.
Loose sorbents
Loose sorbents are used to both absorb and neutralise hazardous liquids so they can be easily disposed of with minimum risk to anyone involved. There are also multiple different types of loose sorbents all of which specialise in different substances. The main ones are as followed:
Diamix
Mineral based granules which are used to absorb oil, grease, water, solvents, chemicals and other liquids on solid surfaces. They also neutralises flammable, toxic and explosive substances so they can be disposed of safely.
Quick Eco Gel
Absorb slurry solids and creates a gel like substance which can be disposed of in any standard waste bin within minutes.
Safety Sorbent
Often used as an anti-slip agent, it quickly absorbs liquids making them easy to clean up.
Green Stuff
Absorbs any chemical excluding cyanide solutions, decomposable peroxides, and concentrated nitric acid.
Materials
Other resources used to clear up hazardous substances are categorised as materials. These products achieve their purpose in multiple different ways.
The main ones are as followed:
Micro-fibre- material used to absorb oil so it can easily be disposed of.
Oil and chemical pads, socks and rolls- made to absorb large quantities of oil.
Oil booms- a floating barrier used to contain oil spills which occur in water. They reduce the risk of pollution and collect the oil into one place facilitating the clean-up process.
Universal chemical neutraliser- neutralises acids so they are safe to clean up
Bio-tube- absorb oil and digest it, converting it to carbon dioxide and water
There are different sizes and types of spill kits available depending on the substance spilled. For more information and to select the relevant spill kit for your needs see the links below.
