Acting fast prevents an accident

Slipping on an oil spill is one of the most common workplace accidents, and the risk is there from the first second. Make sure absorbent material has a fixed, visible spot, close to where liquids are stored or decanted. First contain the spill with an absorbent boom, then pick it up with granules or cloths.

Choosing the right type

Hydrophobic absorbents pick up oil but not water, so they also work outdoors and on wet floors. Universal absorbents pick up everything and are handy in a mixed workshop. For chemicals, choose a chemical-resistant type and dispose of the absorbed material as hazardous waste. When cleaning up, wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection.

Frequently asked questions

Which absorbent do I use for an oil leak?

For oil and fuel, use a hydrophobic absorbent that picks up oil but not water, so it also works on wet floors and outdoors. For chemical liquids, use a universal or chemical-resistant absorbent and dispose of the absorbed material as hazardous waste.

What belongs in a spill kit?

At minimum absorbent cloths or granules, an absorbent boom to contain the spill, gloves and glasses, and waste bags with ties. Place the kit in a fixed, visible spot close to where liquids are stored and refill it immediately after use.

How much liquid does a 20-litre spill kit absorb?

A 20-litre spill kit can absorb about 20 litres of liquid in total, spread across the pads, socks and other components in the kit. The actual absorption depends on the type of liquid. Therefore choose the kit based on the largest container that could leak at that location.

May I throw used absorbents in the general waste?

Usually not. Absorbents containing oil, fuel or chemicals count as hazardous waste and must be collected separately and disposed of via an accredited processor. Collect them in the waste bag from the kit, close it properly and follow the waste rules of your company and municipality.

What do I use the cleaning wipes for?

The wipes are intended for quickly cleaning hands, tools and surfaces in places without a tap, such as in a service van or on location. They absorb grease and dirt without needing water. For larger leaks, use absorbent pads or a spill kit.
