How Transparent Spill Kits Can Help With Your Spill Response Planning

If you are working with liquids on a regular basis in your facility it is important to be prepared for spills by developing a spill response plan that helps you achieve fast, effective spill containment and clean up. Having spill kits available in spill prone areas throughout your facility is a great first step towards making sure you are prepared for liquid spills. Transparent spill kits should be part of your spill response plan as they provide an effective solution to help you achieve safe and efficient spill cleanup and ensure spill preparedness. Find out below how these types of kits can help you with your spill response planning: Transparent spill kits allow you to quickly check and monitor supplies at a glance Being prepared begins with having the right amount of absorbents to deal with any liquid spill in your facility. See-through spill kits enable you to easily determine whether you have enough absorbents available as they do not need to be opened to check that they are filled with supplies. Spill responders or designated stock monitors can quickly determine if a spill kit has enough supplies at a glance. It is important to note that it is not best practice to realise you don't have enough supplies at the moment when a spill actually happens. It is therefore a good idea to designate responsibility to an employee to inspect, check and re-stock the spill kits throughout your facility on a regular basis. Translucent spill kits will make their job easier and allow them to identify the type and amount of spill absorbents that need to be re-ordered much more quickly. Different container options allow fast effective spill response Transparent spill kits are typically available in different types of containers. There are portable, clear bag options which have convenient carry handles and hook-and-loop closures to make access to supplies and transportation to a spill quicker. Other options available include durable, wheeled polyethylene containers with snap-tight lids to protect absorbents from dirt and moisture until they are needed. Wheeled and clear bag translucent spill kit options enable fast and effective spill response as they are easier and more convenient to transport to a spill area. Your choice of container should be dependant on your facility and you should also consider the ground employees must cover to get to a spill. Absorbents in spill kits are easily identifiable Transparent spill kits enable spill responders to quickly and easily identify the correct spill kit to use in an emergency spill situation. As spill absorbents are usually colour coded depending on the liquids they absorb they can easily be seen through the container and responders can quickly and easily identify if it is the correct spill kit to use for the type of liquid spill that has occurred. Absorbents are typically coloured grey when they absorb oils, coolants, solvent and water, white when they absorb oil, oil-based liquids but no water, and pink when they absorb acids, caustics and unknown liquids. It is important to train your employees on the colour coding of different types of absorbent to make identification easier for them and to prevent improper use of absorbents. This will ensure that, fast, effective and safe spill response is achieved.
