Why we need Spill Kit?
Spill kits are your best defense against the many hazards associated with the accidental release of hazardous substances.
As your go-to containment, clean-up, and decontamination tools, the items within your spill kit will equip your staff to successfully handle any spillage.
As you’re probably aware, spills involving hazardous chemicals or dangerous goods can result in serious incidents such as fires, explosions, asphyxiation, and environmental damage.
Spills must be cleaned up immediately — and effectively — to reduce the likelihood of these events occurring.
Any person who is conducting a business or undertaking at a workplace must contain and manage chemical spills.
what Does a Spill Kit Contain?
Spills can be small and large. Small spills are those where the substance can be immediately controlled through neutralization or absorption. A small spill may be incidental and will not generally require emergency response teams.
On the other hand, large spills pose fire, explosion, property damage, chemical exposure, health, and other safety hazards. These require emergency team response within and outside the immediate release area.
Preparing for emergency spills in advance can save not only lives, properties, and environment, but also your reputation as a business entity. An average 30-gallon spill kit can contain the following:
- Absorbent pads that must be directly placed on spills as these will quickly absorb liquids
- Absorbent socks to surround the spill area and catch the liquid before it spreads further. Make sure that you overlap the sock ends for a more leak-proof barrier.
- Absorbent pillows which absorb a higher liquid volume than pads
- Goggles that must be worn while cleaning up spills, as hazardous liquids might splash during cleanup
- Nitrile gloves to protect the hands from hazardous spills
- Disposable bags with ties for easier disposal of used absorbent items
- Instruction sheet that comes with answers to some of the most common questions about spill kits
This kit can include other PPE items which can vary depending on the type and size of spills that it aims to address. Unless it is specifically designed for handling a certain type of spill (battery acid is an example), it will contain only the basic industry-grade PPE such as:
- Gloves
- Goggles
- Coveralls
- Face shields
- Respirators
- Aprons
- Footwear
How to use a spill kit?
You must use only the kits that are most suitable for the possible spills that will occur in the facility or workplace you are in. There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to these kits. Here are some types of spill kits:
- General-purpose or universal spill kits contain gray absorbents that usually work for most liquid types such as hydrocarbons, water-based and oil-based liquids.
- Biohazard spill kits are for cleaning up hazardous body fluids such as blood, urine, vomit, feces, and more. These fluids might contain infectious diseases like HIV and hepatitis, so cleaning them up immediately can prevent other people from being infected.
- Haz-mat spill kits are ideal for small and large oil spills as these kits include high-loft fabric with excellent absorbent and retention qualities. These yellow absorbents will work with highly corrosive solvents and acids.
- Laboratory spill kits contain acid neutralizers, nitrile gloves, haz-mat pads, and more to clean up lab spills that can cause skin burns, respiratory damage, and other injuries.
- Mercury spill kits contain aspirators, wipes, and other appropriate equipment for mercury cleanup and disposal.
- Oil spill kits can efficiently clean up oil spills as these contain white absorbents that are hydrophobic.
- Chemical spill clean-up kits are ideal for facilities dealing with corrosive or acidic liquids. Their yellow absorbents can absorb more toxic fluids.
If you cannot find the perfect kit that fits your needs, you can customize your own by purchasing components specific to your spill containment and control requirements.
Spill Containment
Of course, having spill kits will not be enough. A comprehensive spill response plan must also be in place. It should contain details on kit usage, containment procedures, contingency plans, and more.
To ensure that you choose the right container for spill emergencies, consider the mobility, size, and disposal requirements. If you need something to hold huge quantities of liquid, choose a kit with a strap or wheels for easier handling.
For instance, spill containment can be deployed through drain covers and diverter dikes filled with water. Secondary containment can be done in dispensing and storage locations. Some containment item options are outdoor storage sheds, spill pallets, and IBC containment.
