Use of spill kits in a work place.
These are used to control and contain medium size spillages involving all types of hazardous liquids. They are often used in cars, acids, oil and gas industry, laboratories, hospitals, coolants, factories, automotive repairs, kitchen, homes, and workplaces handling various types of hazardous liquids making them perfect solutions to thoroughly clean any type of unknown spills.
Spills happen no matter how hard you try to avoid them.
Forklifts knock over drums, tanks are punctured and transporters leak and drip. It is important to have the right sorbents on hand when these spills occur to eliminate the slip-and-fall hazard. A quick response is the first order of business and your best weapon in the fight against spills. Spill Kits are packed with quality absorbents and PPEs to help you clean up fast and comply with regulations.
The absorbents you need for emergency spill response depend on the quantity of spillage you’re going to face or you anticipate to have. This can be determined by checking the capacity of the storage tank your equipment has.
After determining the size/capacity of your tank you can go ahead and buy a kit of suitable size (30L, 50, 90L, 120L and 240L)
