This 20 litre oil spill kit (HOL0247) gives plant hire operators, contractors and workshop teams a fast, effective response to accidental oil spills on site or in the yard. The kit absorbs spilled oil before it can spread and contaminate a wider area, helping to contain a problem before it becomes a bigger hazard or environmental incident.
Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH), employers are required to assess and control the risks from hazardous substances such as oils and fuels, and having appropriate spill response equipment readily available is a key part of demonstrating that control on site. Keeping a spill kit like this in every plant cab, workshop and service van is a straightforward, low-cost way to support that compliance.
Kit includes:
- 10 x 3mm hi-absorbent pads
- 2 x 1.2m absorbent socks
- 2 x disposable bags with cable tie
- 1 x pair of disposable gloves
- 1 x top clip clear carry bag
- 1 x instruction sheet
FAQs
- Are spill kits a legal requirement on construction sites? Spill kits aren't named explicitly in UK legislation, but under COSHH and the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001, businesses handling oils and fuels must demonstrate reasonable control measures - a stocked spill kit is widely considered best practice and often essential evidence of compliance.
- How many spill kits should a site have? A commonly used guideline is to keep a spill kit within roughly 30 metres of any potential spill source, such as fuel storage, generators or plant refuelling points.
