Oil spills in the workplace can be both annoying and dangerous. Our Oil Spill Kits are designed to help people contain these spills quickly, reducing the risk to their health and safety. Our range of Oil Spill Kits has been made using the highest quality materials, ensuring you can reliably control any spill situation.
Oil Spill Kits are a ready-made selection of absorbent materials designed to quickly and effectively respond to unexpected oil spills in the workplace. The absorbent materials contained within them are specially designed to handle various types of oil, including Hydraulic Oil, Engine Oil and Lubricating Oil, as well as fuels and other hydrocarbons.
The Hydrophobic Oil Spill Kit with white absorbents uses materials rejecting water, meaning they will only absorb hydrocarbons like oil and fuel. We also offer Evo Universal Spill Kits, which are highly effective at soaking up all non-hazardous fluids, including oils, but these will also absorb water and coolants too.
Looking for a different type of Spill Kit?
Our Oil Spill Kits consist of a bag, plastic drum or wheelie bin filled with a variety of absorbent products such as;
The drums are yellow, which helps to make them highly visible and easily accessed in an emergency. They also are highly mobile, so they can quickly be moved to the area that they are required. Each spill kit features a label on its front, showing which fluids they are compatible with. These particular kits are suitable for various Oils and Fuels.
The main reason to use our Oil Spill Kits is that they will help to contain hazardous spills in an emergency. By strategically placing these Spill Kits in and around the warehouse, users can access them easily to respond to a spill quickly. A good way to think about the kits is their similarity to fire extinguishers, placed around the premises for if and when you need them.
Our spill kits can be purchased in a range of different sizes, from 10 litres up to 800 litres in volume. We recommend that you should have provisions to absorb at least 25% of the total fluids in storage using our Oil Spill Kits. We also offer a refill pack for each size to replace used kits.
Note that our Oil Spill Kits are available in two varieties;
Oil Spill Kits with white pads and socks - These will only soak up oil while repelling water, allowing you to remove oil spills contaminated with water or to use outside.
Universal Spill Kits with grey pads and socks - Unlike our white oil spill kits, these super-absorbent kits will soak up any non-hazardous fluid, including solvents, water, oils, and fuels. Recommended for indoor use where there is no risk of oil and water mixing.
Remember that simply purchasing an Oil Spill Kit doesn't instantly make your workplace safe. You must regularly train staff so they know how to use spill kits in an emergency.
We suggest that your Oil Spill Kit should also be sealed and tagged (with a removable tag, of course) so that you can see if a spill kit has been used. Regular audits should also be conducted by opening and inspecting the spill kits, just in case the kit has been used by a staff member but not replaced.
Tip: To avoid this happening, keep a selection of Oil Absorbent Pads, Rolls and Socks on hand that workers can use for minor oil spills and leaks, leaving the Spill Kits for emergencies only.
Whilst it may not be harmful to your skin, Oil is considered a hazardous material in the workplace and should be disposed of as such. Please consider the environment when disposing of all spill control products.

Workplace oil spills are more than just an inconvenient mess; they present serious risks to employee safety and the environment. Several pieces of legislation in the UK, such as the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) and the Environmental Protection Act 1990, emphasise the importance of spill prevention and containment. Failure to comply with these laws can lead to significant fines, reputation damage, and environmental harm.

If you’ve ever had to clean up spilt engine oil in the garage at home, you’ll know that using ordinary rags or cloths can be a dirty, slow job. That may be OK in a domestic setting, but you’ll need a quicker and safer approach in the workplace. An oil slip is extremely slippery, and a small patch on the floor could cause a nasty fall or trip. Then there’s the risk of fire and environmental hazards, not to mention the disruption to work if there’s no ready way to deal with the spill. It may not be an accident on the scale of an enormous marine...
