Importance of Spill Kit and Absorbents

Sometimes our normal spill kit will not work out. FRPs should include information about the power, equipment, and personnel; information about potential spill hazards and responses to each; and an idea for normal training, self-inspections, and drills to make sure staff members are prepared. An FRP should also include a clear response plan cover sheet that workers can reference quickly and easily in case of spills occur.

But even the simplest FRP can’t solve oil spills by itself! We should also require all the facilities with the cleanup materials in a proper spill kit. One method of cleanup is containment. Once you contain the oil, you'll remove it more easily. Use oil containment booms to contain an oil spill on water. These long sleeves absorb hydrocarbons but repel water.

We can link them together to float on the surface of the water and stop a marine spill from spreading. To contain a spill onto land, use oil containment spill berms. They come in a variety of sizes to suit your needs. To quickly pack up oil spills, absorbent products are great options. Oil absorbent pads and rolls come in plenty of sizes and quantities for any application.

Or, if we would like to soak up more oil than a pad can handle, an oil absorbent pillow is often a decent choice. Pads, rolls, and pillows aren't only quick, efficient ways to take in spills but you'll also clean and reuse them to save lots of money. To be fully prepared for spills, an entire oil spill containment kit is usually the simplest option.

These kits contain the absorbents you would like to wash up spills and therefore the equipment necessary for your personnel to use those absorbents safely. Oil spill clean-up kits are available a range of sizes, so you'll pick the kit which will handle your worst-case spill and keep it available just in case of emergency.

We can even create custom spill kits if you would like something very specific for your facility. Oil spills are often catastrophic, and even the safest, most prepared professionals can experience accidents. Make sure you’re able to tackle any spill with the proper plan, training, and materials.
