Maintenance & Universal Spill Kits – A Buying Guide


Workplace spills and leaks can prove to be extremely dangerous and expensive. Chemical leaks can damage machinery, fuel spills pose a threat to the entire worksite, and even spills of water or bodily fluids can lead to trips and falls.

As an employer, it is also your responsibility to ensure that workplace spills – regardless of size or nature – are controlled and dealt with. The HSE provides a number of guidelines on emergency response to spills and best practices for spill control. Your responsibility for the safety of everyone at a worksite or workplace also includes any slips, trips and falls that occur in any workplace – including slips from spilled water, beverages or bodily fluids.

Seton’s full range of industrial spill kits and refills ensures that you have the right tools and sorbent materials during an emergency spill.

Remember that each spill kit is different. You might come across a Mini Disposable Spill Kit , an emergency spill kit, an ADR spill kit, and water spill kits. You might also find different sizes of spill kits, such as small spill kits and large industrial spill truck. In order to find one that best suits your needs, you must evaluate the following points:

  • Identify the need and know the law: The rules and regulations of different countries might affect the kind of spill kits you will need. Therefore, it is best to know the spill kit regulations or the spill kit guidelines prescribed by the government of the country in which you reside.

  • Consider the type of chemicals you deal with: Before buying a maintenance spill kit or a universal spill kit, it is important to identify what you will need it for based on the nature of your work environment. Begin first by making a list of all the chemicals and liquids you can potentially come into contact with based on your job. It is equally important to identify the chemical class as the contents of a spill kit might differ based on this factor.

  • Identify the quantities of chemicals you will be dealing with: The number of hazardous materials that may leak or spill should be taken into account when choosing a liquid spill kit or a universal spill kit for your workspace. It would be best to consider the potential entry points for dangerous materials into your workspace. For instance, what if employees accidentally spill chemicals while decanting or pumping? Are staff members at risk when they fill up petrol or fuel tanks? When chemicals are being moved from your loading dock, is it possible for a leak to happen? Or may improper storage and handling practices be the only cause of a chemical spill?


What is a maintenance spill kit?

Just like other spill kits, maintenance spill kits are inclusive of items that help in the effective and safe clean-up of hazardous and toxic spills. You can manage and clean up hydrocarbons, non-corrosive liquids, and other water-based and organic liquids with the help of maintenance spill kits. The general contents of a maintenance spill kit include spill kit wheelie bins of varying sizes, boxes, water-resistant handle bags, disposal bags, absorbent pads and gloves. Seton offers a variety of maintenance spill kits for its customers, including maintenance spill kits for vans and other vehicles. The vehicle spill kit additionally includes socs and pillows.

Universal spill kit contents

The contents of industrial spill kits will vary, and larger kits will have more supplies in them. Below are some of the sorbent and spill control supplies that are in most of the liquid spill kits:

  • Socs – sorbent socs such as our Re-Form Sorbent Socs are essential for controlling spills and leaks around machines. These eco-friendly socs can be placed around a leak to absorb the liquid and keep it from spreading through a worksite.

  • Sorbent pads – pads are handy, convenient ways to contain, clean and dispose of oil, water-based and chemical liquids. Our Maintenance/Universal Refill Pads for Spill Box are perfect for replacing any used spill pads and can also be conveniently mounted to walls or to the back of a truck seat.

  • Sorbent rolls – these are rolls of absorbent material that can be easily laid down on a spill to absorb the liquid. Rolls such as our Re-Form PLUS Rolls are an ideal general-purpose sorbent and are great for indoor and outdoor use.

  • Sorbent pillows – these are a great tool to use when a piece of machinery is leaking and you need to contain the drip. Our Maintenance/Universal Sorbent Pillows are great for containing leaks in hard-to-reach areas and can be used for a number of different kinds of leaks, including fuels, oils, anti-freeze, water, solvents and coolants.


A well-designed universal spill kit, such as those available at Seton, has the following contents to ensure the safe removal of all hazardous liquids at the workplace:

  • Socks (80mm x 3m) x3

  • Pads x60

  • Pillows x2

  • Disposal Bags x3

  • Bag Ties x3

  • Goggles (pair) x1

  • Gloves (pair) x1

  • Barrier Tape x1

  • Wheelie Bin x1


How big of a spill kit do I need?

The size of the spill kit best suited for you depends on what you need it for and the amount of liquid you regularly deal with. People who work in a specific location or a specific sector may find it easier to decide what type and size of spill kit they will need. However, for individuals who come in contact with multiple kinds of liquid spills (i.e., biological and chemical) at their workplace, determining the best spill kit for their needs can become challenging.

Seton offers a wide range of spill kits of all sizes to clean all kinds of liquid spills safely. Our spill kits come in small, economy and large sizes. We have oil spill kits, chemical spill kits, maintenance spill kits, and biohazard spill kits for people with specific requirements. For those who deal with multiple liquids at the workplace, Seton offers a small maintenance/universal spill kit, an economy maintenance/universal spill kit, and a large maintenance/universal spill kit.

Choosing the right spill kit

When choosing a spill kit, it is important to consider the specific needs of your worksite. Considerations such as the kinds of liquids on site, the size and layout of the worksite, and the amount of liquid that could potentially be spilled are all factors that should be taken into consideration.

For large premises, you may need to move a spill kit to a location quickly. In these cases, our Maintenance/Universal Mobile Trolley Spill Kits are ideal as they can be quickly moved from one location to another, and they are packed with important sorbent materials such as socs, pillows and double-perforated rolls.

Our wheeled spill kits are also great for large worksites where there is a possibility of an industrial spill. The Mobile Container Spill Kits we offer are packed with hyper-absorbent socs, pillows and pads, and they can be easily wheeled from one location to another.

You may also have a large worksite and want to have a large industrial spill kit, such as our Maintenance/Universal Overpack Drum Spill Kits or Maintenance/Universal Spill Truck, along with a number of small universal spill kits to ensure that all emergency spills are dealt with immediately. Our Economy Spill Kit are ideal as they are small and compact.

Commercial vehicles carrying dangerous goods must carry spill kits, according to European Transport Regulations. Our Maintenance/Universal ADR Vehicle Spill Kit is ideal for drivers as this small universal spill kit is contained in a durable, transparent case with a handle that can be easily stored. The kit has everything needed in a spill control emergency, including basic PPE, sorbent pads, socs and pillows, and an instruction sheet.

Choosing a suitable spill kit for your workplace is extremely important, especially if you know you will come in contact with some dangerous liquids. Spill kits are essential for hospital laboratories, pharmaceutical labs, chemical labs, factories, etc. According to HSE, all workers in any organisation that deals with hazardous liquids must adorn PPE gear and have access to specifically designed spill kits to ensure their safety and that of others in the workplace. Selection of the correct spill kit is significantly based on the nature of your work and the liquids you can come in contact with.

No matter which spill kits you choose for your workplace, you can also find additional supplies and refills for your sorbent materials in our full range of spill kit materials.
