From spill kits to spill containment systems and recycled spill control options, this collection covers all aspects of spillage response with reliable, high-quality products.

Overview of Spill Control Products

• Spill Kits: Rapid-response spill kits are essential for effectively containing and managing accidental spills. Available in various types, including oil-only spill kits, chemical spill kits, and universal spill kits, each kit provides the absorbents, gloves, disposal bags, and tools needed for a quick cleanup. For businesses with unique spill risks, we also offer wheeled spill kits for mobility and refill packs for cost-effective restocking.

• Absorbents: Designed to soak up and contain spills, absorbents come in a range of forms, from mats and socks to pillows, to suit different spill sizes and types. Absorbents are versatile, with options for general-purpose, oil-only, or chemical spills. By strategically placing absorbents around work areas, businesses can quickly address leaks and spills before they become hazards.

• Spill Containment: For more extensive spill risks, spill containment products such as bunds, drip trays, and drain covers provide robust measures to prevent spills from spreading and contaminating surroundings. Whether storing drums, IBCs, or other large containers, these products ensure that any accidental leaks are contained, preventing damage and supporting regulatory compliance.

• Spill Accessories: This category includes essential spill accessories that enhance spill response and safety protocols, such as spill signage, gloves, and disposal units. These tools ensure efficient and safe handling of spills, supporting both compliance and a safer workplace.

• Recycled Spill Control: For eco-conscious businesses, our recycled spill control line includes spill kits, absorbents, and pallets made from recycled materials. By choosing recycled options, businesses can reduce their environmental impact while maintaining high standards in spill control.

Compliance with UK Spill Containment Regulations

In the UK, strict regulations govern spill containment and environmental protection. Businesses are legally obligated to prevent and control spills that may harm the environment, particularly those handling oils, chemicals, or other hazardous substances. According to the UK Oil Storage Regulations, any company that stores oils above specific quantities must have spill containment measures in place, such as bunded storage for tanks and suitable spill kits. Failure to comply can result in substantial fines, increased liabilities, and damage to a company’s reputation. Our range of spill control products is designed to help businesses not only meet but exceed these regulations, offering peace of mind and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What types of spills do these products handle?
Our products cover various spill types, including oil, chemical, and general-purpose spills. Universal spill kits handle a wide range of liquids, while oil-only and chemical spill kits provide targeted response for specific materials.

2. Why are spill kits essential for UK businesses?
In the UK, businesses handling hazardous materials must have spill response plans and equipment. Spill kits ensure compliance with health and safety standards, protect the environment, and minimise potential fines or penalties from spill incidents.

3. How do absorbents differ from spill containment?
Absorbents are materials that soak up spills to make cleanup easier, whereas spill containment products like bunds and drip trays are designed to contain spills within a controlled area, preventing spread and contamination.

4. Can spill kits be reused?
While most spill kit absorbents are single-use, the outer containers and storage bins are reusable, and spill kit refills are available to replenish absorbents without replacing the entire kit. Many spill containment products are also reusable, with durable designs built to withstand repeated use.

5. What’s the benefit of using recycled spill control products?
Choosing recycled spill control products reduces environmental impact by repurposing materials, helping businesses meet sustainability goals while maintaining effective spill response.

6. What is the best way to prepare for a spill emergency?
Having the right spill kits, absorbents, and containment measures on-site is essential. Conduct regular staff training, inspect spill control supplies, and use signage and accessories to ensure a rapid and compliant response to any incident.
