FAQs
Are spill kits a legal requirement?
Across the UK there are regulations that state employees and employers must ensure premises are safe and secure. Health and Safety requirements state that while it isn’t a legal requirement to use a spill kit, it is a legal requirement that spills are cleaned up and made safe as soon as possible. This is a legal requirement for both employers and employees.
When it comes to chemical spills, including oil and hazardous chemicals, regulations state that pollution risk needs to be minimalised, with spills kept away from waterworks and drainage. Using a spill kit to surround and absorb these chemicals is the best way to stay compliant and prevent further spread of liquid.
What is a spill kit?
A spill kit is a set of items that you can use to ensure spills are contained, ensuring water, oil, bodily fluid or any kinds of chemical avoid causing damage and/or injury. They are used to ensure your premises stays safe and allow you to respond quickly to dangerous incidents.
Can spill kits be reused?
Depending on which kit you get, a lot of the elements can be reused. The absorbent itself, however, should only be used once, especially if used for chemicals. Once the absorbent strips are used, they’re considered hazardous materials and should be safely disposed of as such. The drums and any other plastic elements can be reused.
Do spill kits have a shelf life?
The absorbent materials that come with that kit will last until they’re used, but we advise spill kits in general are replaced every five years. However, industry standards state that spill management equipment should be checked every three months to ensure they’re good quality and have no wear and tear.
