Any company that uses hazardous substances should have spill containment and clean up equipment or a spill kit. This should include equipment for:
- Containing and cleaning up a spill such as a shovel, broom, drain covers, sandbags, booms and absorbent material. All spills need to be handled with compatible materials.
- Storing and disposing of spilled material such as safe containers, bags, and drums.
- Protecting the health and safety of your staff with Personal Protective Equipment.
You could either:
- buy a standard kit or kits, or
- buy a wheelie bin and fill it with required items you have identified.
Check the specific Safety Data Sheets for the equipment that is required to clean up spills of the hazardous substances on your premises. The spill kit should be able to handle the maximum likely spill volume.
