How Do You Choose The Correct Spill Kit For Your Facility?
Do you find it difficult to choose the right spill kit for your facility? Here's some tips on how to make sure you buy the best spill kit for your needs
With such a large selection of spill response kits on the market it often becomes difficult to know which one to buy. The first step towards choosing the right type of spill kit is identifying the liquids that are likely to spill in your facility and choosing a kit that absorbs them. The three most common spill kits available on the market are universal, oil-only and hazmat. These are usually colour coded with spill kit labels and different coloured absorbents inside the kits so that they are easily identifiable for liquid compatibility.
Other factors that you should take into account when choosing your type of spill kit should be the volume of liquid that is likely to spill in your facility, the type of container you need or whether you already have a container that could fit a spill kit refill. So, how can you make sure that you choose the best kit for your facility?
Identify the liquids that are likely to spill at your facility
It is important to consider all types of liquid that are likely to spill at your facility and choose your spill kits accordingly. Some companies provide spill kits for many different types of liquid spills and colour code kits for easy identification. Quick identification enables you to choose the right one and avoid costly accidents that can happen if the wrong type of spill kit is used in a spill response situation.
If you are working with oils, coolants, solvents or water on a daily basis, a universal spill kit would be your ideal choice. Universal kits are typically colour-coded with a blue label on the container and have grey coloured absorbents inside. Oil-only spill kits are also available which absorb spills of oil-based liquids only. Oil-only kits are ideal to use for cleaning up oil on water, or for response to oil-based spills in the rain or snow. These kits are typically colour coded with a green label and white absorbents inside the container. The third most common spill kit that you are likely to find on the market is a hazmat spill kit which absorbs spills of aggressive liquids, such as acids, bases or unknowns.

Determine the maximum volume of liquid that is likely to spill.
Once you know what type of spill kit to buy based on the type of liquids in your facility, you need to make sure you select the right size of kit. This should be determined based on your worst case scenario spill. Spill kits are available on the market in all different sizes, some range from less than 25 Litres up to over 360 litres.
Determine the largest amount of liquid that could be spilled from a single container or holding tankYou may choose one large kit to deal with a potential spill or you could choose a few smaller ones to absorb the same amount, this will depend on how easily they need to be transported to a spill. However, it is good to remember that it may not always be practical to absorb the entire contents of a spill with a spill kit, especially if it is a large one. Spill kits can be used in conjunction with other spill equipment such as blockers and dikes which help channel or contain liquids, so that they can be recovered with vacuums or pumps. After a bulk of the liquid has been removed, absorbents can then be used to remove the remainder of the spill. which help channel or contain liquids, so that they can be recovered with vacuums or pumps. After the bulk of the liquid has been removed, additional absorbents can then be used to remove the remainder of the spill. You should keep this in mind when buying your spill kits and other spill equipment.
Determine the best container for your facility
Ideally spill kits should be made available at every spill prone area in your facility. Spill kits are available in a variety of containers for you to choose from ranging from small grab bags with handles that make them easier to carry to a spill, wall mountable kits for spill response stations near spill areas, to large portable kits in wheelie bin containers. You should take in to consideration the physical limitations of your spill response team, as well as the terrain the kit must cover to get to a spill when choosing the best spill kit container for your facility.
There are instances where you may not need a spill kit in a container as you may have your own container which you can fit a spill kit inside. There is no regulation that tells you what a spill kit must include, or what the container must look likSimply choose a refill based on your absorbency needs and stock it in the container or cabinet already at your facility.
It can sometimes be a daunting task when choosing a spill kit for your facility, however by following the three steps above you can make it easier. Some companies also provide handy selection guides which help you to choose the right one for your needs.
