Why this matters
Spills can cause slips, fires, and harm to the environment, and they can get worse if handled wrongly.
What to cover
- Stop the source if you can do it safely.
- Keep people away and remove ignition sources.
- Use the spill kit to contain and absorb it.
- Block drains.
- Bag used absorbent in a labelled container.
- Report every spill, even a small one.
Ask the crew
- Where's the spill kit?
- What's in it?
- Who do you call?
One thing to do today
Check the spill kit is stocked and everyone knows where it is.
