Choosing Compatible Spill-Control Products

Start with the substance, likely volume and response task before choosing absorbents or containment.

Check the substance

Read the supplier's current safety data sheet and product instructions. Confirm whether the product is intended for oils, water-based liquids, chemicals or a specific substance. Keep incompatible materials separated.

Match the response

  • Estimate a credible spill volume and flow
  • Choose containment for drains and escape routes
  • Choose absorbents compatible with the liquid
  • Include suitable handling, disposal and personal protective equipment
  • Place equipment where trained responders can reach it safely

Review on site

The appropriate kit depends on the substance properties, scale and type of incident. A product description cannot replace a risk assessment, safety data sheet or emergency plan.
