General Purpose Spill Kits
General Purpose emergency spill kits are versatile tools designed to manage and clean up a wide range of non-hazardous liquid spills and leaks in workplace environments. Unlike specialised kits that target specific substances, these universal kits can effectively absorb various liquids including oils, fuels, coolants, solvents, and water-based fluids. This makes them an ideal choice for businesses that handle multiple types of non-corrosive liquids, as they provide a single solution for diverse spill scenarios.
The contents of General Purpose spill kits typically include grey-coloured absorbent materials, which is the industry standard for universal absorbents. These kits usually contain absorbent pads, socks and instruction sheets. Many also come with disposal bags and ties. Some kits may include additional items such as protective gloves, goggles, drip trays and even drain covers or more comprehensive spill management. The packaging of these kits varies, ranging from portable clip-close bags for smaller sizes to wheeled bins or static bins for larger capacities, ensuring easy storage and quick access during emergencies.
When selecting a General Purpose spill kit, it's important to consider factors such as the kit's absorbent capacity, which can range from as little as 10 litres to as much as 1100 litres, depending on the size of potential spills in your workplace. The type of container is also crucial, as it affects the kit's portability and storage options.
While these kits are suitable for most non-hazardous liquids, it's essential to verify their compatibility with the specific fluids used in your environment. By having the appropriate General Purpose spill kit on available, businesses can ensure quick and effective response to spills, maintaining workplace safety and compliance with regulations.
