Why General Purpose Spill Kits Matter

Spills and leaks can occur in any workplace, posing risks to safety, cleanliness, and regulatory compliance. General Purpose Spill Kits provide a versatile and efficient solution for managing spills of non-hazardous liquids, including oils, fuels, coolants, solvents, and water-based fluids.

Unlike specialised spill kits that target specific substances, these universal kits offer broad compatibility, making them ideal for workplaces that handle multiple types of fluids. With absorbency capacities ranging from 10 litres to 800 litres, businesses can find the right kit to ensure fast spill response and a safer working environment.

Key Advantages of General Purpose Spill Kits

General Purpose Spill Kits provide a convenient and effective way to manage workplace spills, reducing the risk of accidents and contamination.

Their versatile absorbents work on oils, fuels, water-based liquids, and solvents, allowing businesses to handle different spills with a single solution.

Each kit includes essential spill response tools, such as absorbent pads, spill containment socks, and disposal bags, ensuring quick clean-up and proper waste management. Some kits also come with drip trays to prevent ground contamination from leaks.

Available in portable clip-top bags, shoulder bags, and large wheelie bins, these kits offer flexibility for different workplace needs, from small vehicle spills to large industrial clean-ups. Additionally, our EVO Universal Spill Kits, made in the UK from recycled materials, provide an eco-friendly option with a lower carbon footprint.

By keeping a General Purpose Spill Kit on hand, businesses can ensure regulatory compliance, protect employees, and maintain a cleaner, safer workplace.

How to Choose the Right General Purpose Spill Kit

Selecting the best spill kit for your workplace depends on several factors:

  • Absorbency Capacity – Choose a kit that can handle the largest spill you may encounter, from 10 litres for small spills to 240 litres for larger risks.
  • Fluid Compatibility – Ensure the kit is suitable for the oils, fuels, coolants, and solvents used in your workplace.
  • Portability & Accessibility – Opt for compact kits for vehicles or larger wheelie bin kits for fixed locations.

Additional Features – Some kits include drip trays for leak prevention, adding an extra layer of protection.

If you're unsure which kit is best for your needs, our expert team is happy to assist you in choosing the right solution for your business.

We bought three 10m rolls of ribbed matting for our alpaca barn. Really easy to lay and makes a tough comfortable floor.
