A spill kit's purpose is to contain and clean up a spill as quickly and efficiently as possible, not only for the safety of workers and others but also for environmental protection.

The most useful aspect of a spill kit is that it comes pre-packaged with all the materials required for the spill clean-up procedure, as identified in the risk assessment.

Where Can a Spill Kit Be Found?

You must identify your spill risk zones. Specifically, where they are, the type of risk, and the number of hazardous materials. It may take time to determine where to store spill kits. If true, the facility should be designed with the location, types of liquids, quantity, and potential spills in mind. Use this as a starting point for distributing kits throughout the workplace.

What Are the Different Types of Spill Kits?

Preparing for an accident or emergency will significantly affect your COSHH risk assessment. Identifying potential hazards in your workplace will provide you with a good understanding of the types of substances that may need to be cleaned up and whether spills or leaks are likely to be small or large in scale. Using this information, you can determine the type and quantity of spill control material required. Using a spill kit specific to your site will ensure you have enough of the right items.

Summary

When an emergency occurs, the first steps can make all the difference. Dealing with an emergency spill can significantly impact the people and environment around the incident, from simple spills to hazardous materials. When a spill occurs, having an emergency spill kit on hand can prevent an accident from becoming a disaster.
