Spill Kits

What is a Spill Kit?

According to the Australian Standards AS1940:2017, a suitable spill kit or a spill response kit is necessary on sites that store dangerous goods, specifically hazardous liquids. It consists of a readily identifiable container which contains some or all of the sorbent pads, loose absorbents, booms, PPE (personal protective equipment) and contaminated waste bags. These contents should be compatible with the liquids stored on site.

Also, the spill response kit container should also be weather resistant, situated in an easily accessible area and identified with a spill kit sign. Ideally, there should also be a tamper-evident label on your spill kit to ensure all contents are available for emergency spill control. Our mobile Spill Kits are designed to be convenient for you to bring it to spill sites or relocate the kit as needed.

What are spill kits used for and why is it important?

Spill kits are used to clean up the spill of any liquids. In emergency situations where a hazardous liquid has spilt, compatible absorbents (such as sorbent pads, loose absorbent powder) are required to prevent pollution and contamination of the environment, and to keep the workplace safe.

Why is Spill Control Important?

A spill control procedure ensures safe handling of potentially hazardous liquids in the event of a spill or leak. This is in accordance with Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011 which states a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) must ensure where a risk of a hazardous chemical spill exists, a spill containment system (such as a spill kit) should be available.

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) enforces risk minimisation by spill management. The occupier must ensure that provision is made for spill containment that will, as far as practicable, contain the spill within the occupier’s facility or current location of the hazardous spill. Heavy penalties are imposed upon failure to meet these requirements.

What are the steps for cleaning up a spill?

Assess the risk - Evaluate the liquid spilled and identify the source. If you are unfamiliar with the liquid and its chemical properties, vacate the area and contact proper authorities.
Wear appropriate PPE for the situation – Always assume the worst and wear suitable protective gear before cleaning up.
Contain the spill and seal drains.
Stop the source – Close valves, rotate punctured drums and plug leaks if possible and safe to do so.
Begin spill cleanup – Use compatible Brady absorbents to clean up the spill. Refer to the Absorbents Application Guide to ensure the right absorbents are used.
Contact authorities – Report the spill to proper legal authorities in your community and fill out reports if necessary.
Safely dispose of used material – Absorbent materials take on the characteristics of whatever they absorb. Ensure used absorbents and spilled liquids are disposed of in accordance with local laws.
Decontaminate – Clean all tools and reusable materials.
Restock materials – Refill spill response kits with absorbents and safety gear to prepare for any future spills
