Prepare for Fast, Effective Clean Up with the Right Spill Kit for your Needs
Spill kits are containers that hold all of the products and personal safety equipment you need to effectively manage a spill. They’re designed to make it easy to respond quickly and effectively to a variety of types of spills.
In nearly all cases, the faster spills are cleaned up, the less damage or hazards occur. Proper response to spills can help prevent damage to property, injury to people or animals and even environmental damage. Spills that are allowed to spread, remain untreated or aren’t cleaned up properly can potentially result in fines by the EPA or OSHA. This is why it’s so important to have appropriate spill kits on hand.
Different types of spill response kits are available depending on the type of spill you anticipate. If there’s even a remote chance a mercury spill could occur at your commercial establishment, you should have a mercury spill kit. If you’re primarily concerned about oil spills or spills involving hazardous materials, you can choose a spill response kit to meet these precise needs. You can even select a specially designed battery acid clean up kit.
Kits designed for clean up contain different items according to the type of liquid spills they’re designed to manage. They may contain different types of absorbent pads, spill socks, personal protective gear, solvents, cleaners and collection bags. Usually all the contents of these kits are packed up in a bucket or tote that can easily be moved to the site of a spill. The bucket or tote can be used as a collection or clean up container, as well.
Spill response kits are available in different sizes. Typically, kits come in 5, 20, 30, 50, 65 or 95 gallon sizes. These sizes refer to the amount of liquid spill the kit can clean up. A Hazmat 20 gallon kit for instance is designed to clean up 20 gallons of hazardous liquid material, or slightly more.
You can rely on kit manufacturers or businesses that sell spill kits for information on which kit is most appropriate for your needs. If you operate a large facility, you will probably need more than one spill kit. They can be placed in strategic locations for easy access.
In some cases, the products in spill response kits can be replaced by ordering refill items for restocking. In other instances, you’ll need to replace the entire kit itself. Consider investing in a refillable kit if you anticipate frequent spills.
