1. Selecting the Wrong
Spill KitCould Be Dangerous
It is extremely imperative that you
choose the right kind of spill kit
for your facility. The chances
of an unsuitable kit causing
you more harm than good are
quite high. Here are some of
the ways in which the wrong spill
kit can create problems.

2. Incompatibility
Low Absorbency
An incompatible spill kit will most likely
fail to clean up the spillage effectively.
A kit with limited compatibility increases
the risk of harmful chemical reactions.
A low absorbent spill kit will hardly be
of any use in a worst-case scenario.
A kit that is unable to handle the
right volume of spillage can be
of little use during cleanup.

3. Incompatibility
A spill kit with low absorbent stock levels can lead
to disastrous consequences in case of spillage.
Less absorbent stock can practically render even the
right spill kit equipment ineffective.
Unsuitable PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment)
Certain spill kits come with PPE which may or
may not be able to resist the chemicals/liquids
used at the facility.
Kits with incompatible PPE are most likely to put
users in harm’s way and endanger their health.

4. Improper Drain Protection
Don’t assume that the drain protection
provided in the spill kits will fit the
facility drain size.
Moreover, if the drain cover is not
compatible with the kind of
chemicals/liquids used at the facility,
the spilt fluid could easily escape.
