When it does, it can be bad news for human and environmental health, not to mention productivity. This can include: - Spilled coolant drums in a warehouse - Solvent leaks on construction worksites - Oil spills in mechanic workshop - Toxic chemical spills on a mine site - Corrosive acid spills in a health laboratory - Unknown liquid spills in a factory - Petrol spills on fuel station forecourt - Road spills from oil tanker These examples are just the tip of the iceberg. In factories and warehouses, on construction and mine sites across Australia, spills happen every day. When spills happen, workers can come into contact with a range of potentially harmful liquids, which also pose a risk of slips, falls and potential injuries. Employers have a duty to protect staff and stay compliant with environmental regulations. So, do you have a spill response plan? Do you have spill kits on site? Do you even know what kind of spill kit you need? ![Untitled design (41)](https://blog.blackwoods.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(41).png?width=1000&height=350&name=Untitled%20design%20(41).png) ### **The right spill kit for the job.** Be prepared for spill cleanup with a specialist or general purpose spill kit, depending on the particular hazards in your workplace. Have the right kit for the job handy, and make sure workers know how to use it and have the appropriate PPE. It’s also important to audit your spill kits regularly – the last thing you want is for a worker to grab one in an emergency situation, only to find out it’s missing essential items.
