Oil & Fuel Spill Kits

Oil and fuel spill kits are essential emergency response tools designed to quickly and effectively contain and clean up oil and fuel spills and other hydrocarbon liquids in any kind of workplace. These emergency spill kits typically contain specialised hydrophobic absorbent materials, meaning they repel water while effectively soaking up hazardous oils, fuels, and other petroleum-based liquids. This selective absorption capability makes them particularly useful for cleaning up spills on water surfaces or in outdoor areas where rainwater may be present.

The absorbent pads are designed to quickly soak up oil spills and leaks, while the socks or booms can be used to contain and prevent the spread of the spillage. Our kits are available in various sizes, ranging from small portable units suitable for vehicle use to large-capacity kits for industrial settings, with absorption capacities typically ranging from 15 to 1100 litres and the kits come either with a disposable waste bag or containment drum.

Proper placement and accessibility of fuel and oil spill kits are crucial for effective emergency response. They should be strategically located in areas where spills are likely to occur, such as near fuel storage tanks, in workshops, or on vehicles transporting oil-based products.

Many companies and regulatory bodies recommend having spill control measures capable of absorbing at least 25% of the total stored fluid volume.

It is also recommended that regular training on the use of these kits and periodic checks to ensure they are fully stocked and in good condition become essential practices for maintaining workplace safety and environmental compliance.
