Oil & Fuel Spill Kits & Refills

Oil & Fuel Spill Kits & Refills Buying Guide

If there is a possibility of an oil or fuel leak at your worksite, it is important that you have the proper tools to combat any spills that might occur. When selecting spill kits for oil for your worksite, it is important to consider the following:

• Size – taking into consideration the size of your worksite and the level of hazard on the premises, you will need to decide on the size of petrol spill kit for your worksite. If you are supplying safety materials for a large worksite or a worksite with a high level of hazard, you may want to invest in larger spill kits for fuel, such as our Oil Overpack Drum Spill Kit or our Oil High Hazard Spill Safety Stations.


• Placement – during the risk assessment of your workplace, it is important to pinpoint the areas with the highest level of risk. You will want to ensure that these areas have larger spill kits for diesel, such as the Oil Mobile Trolley Spill Kit, and you may want to place smaller spill kits at interim positions between larger spill kits, such as our Oil Economy Wheeled Spill Kits.


• Additional materials – after performing your risk assessment, you should have a sense of the amount of absorbent materials you will need in the event of a spill or leak. If you feel that you may need more pads for oil leaks underneath machinery, or additional socs for containing larger spills, you can stock up on additional materials or refills to bolster the materials in your kits.
