\"swissIn the event of a spill, you need to act fast. But you don\u2019t just need the right absorbents for the job \u2014 you also need the right equipment and safety gear, you need to know how to use them, and<\/em> you need to know where to find all these things quickly when you need them.<\/p>\n

Does that sound overwhelming? Don\u2019t worry! You don\u2019t need to be a spill cleanup expert to be well prepared for accidents. All you need is an all-in-one spill kit<\/a>. These kits usually include absorbents, safety gear like goggles and gloves, bags for the disposal of used absorbents, and instructions for their use.<\/p>\n

Spill kits make it easy to be prepared<\/h2>\n

An all-in-one spill kit is designed to have everything you need to clean up a spill of any kind, whether in your home or workplace. Having one \u2014 or even a few so there\u2019s always one close at hand \u2014 means you\u2019re always ready to tackle any spill.<\/p>\n

Depending on which liquids you have and may need to clean up, different types of kits are available<\/a>. Universal or general-purpose spill kits, which are usually gray in color, are appropriate for water-based spills as well as hydrocarbons. Oil-only kits, which are white, repel water while absorbing hydrocarbons like oil, gasoline, and diesel. If you\u2019re dealing with aggressive fluids like acids and solvents, a hazmat kit, which generally includes yellow absorbents, is a must for safe cleanup. There are even specialty spill kits available, in case you\u2019re dealing with potentially dangerous fluids, like battery acid<\/strong><\/a> or mercury<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Too big, too small, or just right?<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve decided which type of kit is best<\/a> for your situation, it\u2019s time to select a size. All-in-one spill kits come in a wide variety of sizes so you don\u2019t need to try and tackle a small spill with an oversized kit \u2014 or tackle a large spill without adequate absorbents. Once you\u2019ve determined what your maximum potential spill volume is, you can select the perfect-sized spill kit to prepare you for it.<\/p>\n

\"shop<\/a>Small kits are great for mobile applications or for spaces where your potential spills will be small. For example, an economy portable spill kit<\/strong><\/a> is perfect to keep in a vehicle, camper, or to tuck into convenient places around your facility or home for quick cleanups. Or, if you want something a little more heavy-duty, a duffle bag spill cleanup kit<\/strong><\/a> is easy to bring along if you\u2019re moving from place to place. It has convenient straps so you can hang it on equipment or wall hooks near potential spill sites.<\/p>\n

For larger spills, drum spill kits are great options. These kits come in chemical- and water-resistant drums that are easy to store on a shelf or in a cabinet. Best of all, they\u2019re available in everything from 20 gallon<\/strong><\/a> to 95 gallon<\/strong><\/a> sizes so you can pick the drum spill kit that best suits your needs.<\/p>\n

If you may be dealing with very large volume spills, a mobile spill cart<\/strong><\/a> might be the best solution. These carts are wheeled so you can easily move them to spill sites and are bright yellow to make them easy to find in case of emergency.<\/p>\n

If your home, garage, or facility requires something specific, you don\u2019t have to go with \u201cgood enough\u201d \u2014 you can work with an absorbent expert to build a custom spill kit based on your needs.<\/p>\n
