Chemical Spill Kits & Refills - A Buying Guide

What is a chemical spill kit?

A chemical spill kit is a set of equipment that contains the materials you need for cleaning up a hazardous substance. Chemical spill kit contents will vary, but many will contain items for your personal protection, such as safety goggles and gloves, as well as materials for absorbing spills, bags and safety signage. Many kits are supplied in a container such as a chemical spill kit bag or box designed to be kept and refilled ready to be used again when the next spillage occurs. At Seton, we have a wide range of spill kits as well as the supplies you need to restock your chemical spill kit box.

What is a chemical spill kit used for?

Chemical spill kits are needed in many workplaces. Hazardous chemicals, such as acids, and flammable liquids are the obvious items requiring specialist clean-up facilities, but other substances may also need to be cleaned up urgently in the event of a spillage, even though skin contact with them or breathing in fumes may not be hazardous.

For example, cooking oils are not innately harmful, but a spillage on the floor can present a risk of slipping and injury to anyone in the area. A wide range of substances can cause problems when they leak out of containers, including chemicals, cooking and other oils as well as fuel, solvents and sewage.

There are several factors to consider when selecting a spill kit for hazardous chemicals and other substances. A few of the most important considerations are size, placement and type of chemical spill kits. Consider the chemical spill kit function carefully so that you are prepared with the most suitable type of chemical spill clean-up kits for your business. You may need different kits for different parts of your workplace.

After completing a full risk and hazard assessment of your worksite or laboratory, as per the HSE guidelines, you will have a good sense of the kind of spill kits you need and where they should be installed.

Make sure all staff who work in areas which could be affected by hazardous spills are trained in the use of chemical spill kits. Your spill kit station should be positioned in a suitable place so that in an emergency chemical spill kits are readily accessible.

The Seton range of hazardous chemical spill kits includes everything from our single-use Economy Chemical Spill Kit 10L, consisting of pads, a cushion and a disposal bag, to our Chemical Large Drum Spill Kits, which include pads, socs, pillows and disposal bags as well as goggles and a pair of gloves. This kit is suitable for absorbing aqueous chemicals and water.

If your worksite has the potential for a large chemical leak, you can invest in our impressive Chemical Overpack Drum Spill Kits, designed to absorb over 200 litres of fluid. Alternatively, you could choose our Chemical Mobile Container Spill Kits, which are housed in a weatherproof and chemical-resistant wheeled container, ready for use wherever there is a large spillage. Alternative options for chemical spill kits that can be easily taken from one location to another in the event of an emergency include Seton’s Chemical Economy Wheeled Spill Kit or 5 gallon chemical spill kit are perfect for small-scale spills and leaks.

For large leaks or worksites with the potential for a large leak, the Chemical Mobile Trolley Spill Kits and Chemical Spill Trucks are perfect for a fast-acting, effective response. The Chemical Spill Truck provides the materials required for clearing up to 600 litres of spilled liquid, including pads, socs, wipes and PPE, all supplied in a large but lightweight wheeled container for easy manoeuvring.

Keeping your chemical spill kits replenished

While some of our spill kits are manufactured for single use, many of our kits are designed for long-term use and can be refilled with supplies. Depending on the specific needs of your worksite, you may need more of one sorbent material than another, or you may find that you have run out of sorbent pads, pillows or socs. We have a comprehensive range of refills for you to choose from to replenish your chemical sorbent stock and ensure the safety of your workplace.

Our Chemical Spill Safety Station Refills are available in High Hazard and Low Hazard options. You can also order just the absorbent roll refill for the safety station. Other refill products in our range include our Chemical Sorbent Socs and Flexisocs, which can be cut to size and are perfect for protecting machinery from potentially damaging liquid spillages.

If you have single-use chemical spill clean-up kits for your workplace, make sure that you keep an eye on stock levels so that you have plenty on hand for when chemical spillages occur. Our Mini Disposable Spill Kit gives you all that you need to deal with spillages promptly. With entirely disposable contents, it is convenient for a wide range of work locations, or it can be used to tackle spillages inside vehicles. The kit includes pads and gloves as well as a disposable brush.

FAQ

What does a chemical spill kit contain?

While each kit has its own chemical spill kit contents list, there are a few sorbent materials that you will find in every kit. A large chemical spill kit will usually include not only greater quantities but also a wider range of contents.

Below are a few of the most common and important chemical spill kit items:

  • Chemical Sorbent Pads are designed to absorb a range of hazardous chemicals, acids and caustics. Our range includes the Chemical Bulk Buy Sorbents pack, which contains six socs, eight pillows and 100 pads, and can be used for hazardous and aggressive spillages.
  • Chemical Sorbent Socs & Flexisocs are long, tubular sorbents that can be placed around machinery, or around a spill, to prevent the spill from spreading. These socs come in a variety of lengths to suit different needs, and they are made of filler that absorbs aggressive chemicals and acids.
  • Chemical Sorbent Pillows are ideal for absorbing chemicals, acids and bases in hard-to-reach places such as underneath machinery. These pillows are coloured green for easy identification and can also be used as additional protection for chemicals during transportation.
  • Disposal bags provide you with a place to put used absorbent pads and socs, as well as disposable gloves, before they are taken to the relevant disposal point. This ensures that other areas are not contaminated with hazardous substances during disposal.
  • Many of our chemical spill response kits come with basic PPE such as gloves, goggles and disposal bags. The PPE varies according to the kits, and it is essential to have full chemical PPE on hand in worksites where chemicals are used.
  • Many of our kits also have chemical spill kit instructions, which provide basic guidance on what to do in the event of a chemical spill. Of course, it is also essential that employees working with chemicals are properly trained on safety procedures and emergency response.

What kind of spill kits for chemicals do I need?

Depending on the specific needs of your worksite or laboratory, you may be wondering if you need a chemical-specific lab spill kit in the laboratory, such as acid spill kits, formaldehyde spill kits, mercury spill kits or a battery spill kit.

However, you should know that most of the chemical spill kits we supply will absorb most chemical spills, with some variation. In most situations, a comprehensive general purpose chemical spill kit can serve as a laboratory chemical spill kit, as it will contain all the items required for most laboratory spills. Some spill kits are more specifically targeted at particular chemicals – for example, our Chemical Mobile Container Spill Kits are best for aqueous chemicals and water spills, whereas Seton’s Chemical Spill Truck is great for hazardous and aggressive chemicals.

When selecting chemical spill kits for your premises, make sure you consider the nature of the chemicals and substances present at your worksite.

Why is it that chemical spill kits are colour coded?

Our hazardous chemical spill kits are contained in bright yellow boxes, bags, wheeled bins and drums for easy, instant identification. This chemical spill kit colour is vibrant and attracts attention so that in the event of an emergency, employees will know where to look for spill control supplies.

ATTENTION

Chemical Spill Kits are often contained in vibrant yellow containers, such as bags, boxes or bins and trolleys, to attract attention.

IDENTIFY

The bright colour of outer containers means the necessary equipment is quick and easy to find in an emergency, and is unlikely to be mistaken for other materials.

WARNING

The attention-grabbing yellow and green colours are associated with hazard warning and serve to alert individuals of a spill hazard, when deployed.

Aside from the exterior colour of the kits, our chemical sorbents such as the Chemical Sorbent Pads and the Chemical Sorbent Pillows are coloured green so that they can be easily identified as chemical sorbents and used accordingly. We also supply High Visibility Absorbent Safety Mats, which are designed to soak up your spillage while also alerting people in the workplace that there is a spillage they should avoid. This product can be used to clear up acids and other hazardous chemicals. It is supplied on a roll with regular perforations for ease of use. The yellow colour makes it easy to see, so the roll can be located quickly and is obvious to people working in the area when in use.
