Why Your Workplace Needs Universal Spill Kits
Having an accessible Spill Kit around for when leaks and spills occur in the workplace can make all the difference. That’s where Universal Spill Kits come in, which are ideal for cleaning up everyday spills of coolant, solvent, degreaser, oil, blood, paint and mild acids. Able to recover up to 20 times their own weight in liquid, the polypropylene absorbent products included in these safety spill kits are suited to industrial use. Having these spill containment products is necessary for any workplace environment that deals with hazardous liquids on a regular basis, and having them ready can be a huge help for your personnel.
You can use these general purpose spill kits in an array of industrial settings, including factories, workshops, laboratories, warehouses, mines and more. These spill containment kits are particularly useful to have on trucks, cars, vans and other delivery vehicles to assist in combating non-aggressive liquid spills. As such, you can minimise risks and meet environmental and industrial obligations.
Safety Features of Our Universal Spill Kits
All purpose spill kits are available in three capacities: 40L, 130L and 247L. Regardless of which model you choose, they are each fitted with a number of safety features to reduce the potential of accidents and harm. For instance, depending on which capacity you select, these spill kits come in either a blue canvacon bag that is waterproof and re-sealable or a wheelie bin with a choice of colours to suit your needs. In terms of spill kit contents, absorbent products are clean, non-allergenic and colour-coded grey for convenience. There are also Global audit tags, labelled disposal bags, PVC gloves, yellow/black caution spill tape and spill kit operating instructions. Additionally, for universal spill kits with wheelie bins, UV-stabilised and colour-coded labels are placed onto them and help identify what kind of kit it is. You can easily convert your spill kit into a pollution control station with shovel, bin lock and other accessories, as well as customise it by adding, removing or swapping components as per your needs.
Ensuring Your Safety with These Universal Spill Kits
When it comes to maximising the safety features of these spill control kits, we recommend the following. Firstly, take inventory of the liquids you store at your workplace. Keeping track of where they are stored, how many there are and recognising which areas are at high risk of leaks are all important things you should be doing to ensure your workplace remains safe, functional and efficient. Secondly, accept that absorbent capacity will vary depending on the temperature, specific gravity and liquid consistency. Thirdly, be sure to place industrial spill kits in an accessible location, enabling your workers to quickly reach them in the event of a spill. Lastly, all employees should be trained on how to use them. It is also not a bad idea to run drills to see how they react to mock spills, and what enhancements can be made to your spill containment plans. In following these safety measures, the liquids you store at your workplace can remain secure and well looked after.
These universal spill kits are designed to aid employees in managing spills of hazardous liquids. Not only do they play a significant role in maintaining workplace cleanliness, but they also uphold safety practices and are a staple of any business engaged in material handling of harmful substances.
