Professional Spill Kits From DENIOS
Oil spill kits:
These kits include hydrophobic absorbents that are designed to push water away while soaking up oils and fuels. This makes these kits ideal for outdoor work areas, garages and mechanical workshops. Oil spill kits are commonly used for diesel, petrol, hydraulic oil, specific types of lubricants and engine oil.
Chemical spill kits:
These emergency spill kits are specifically designed for the safe management of acid, alkali, solvent and unknown chemical incidents. All contents are made with chemically resistant materials, making them safe for use in laboratories, plants and chemical storage areas where harsh or corrosive substances may be stored.
Maintenance spill kits:
These spill kits contain universal absorbents that are suitable for use with cleaning agents, coolants and lubricants. This makes these kits ideal for the safe management of spills on production floors, maintenance zones, production lines and engineering workshops.
Why are spill kits needed?
Spill kits are highly recommended for businesses under COSHH, HSE and EA regulations as a control measure. COSHH, for example, requires businesses to implement appropriate measures to protect people against hazardous substances. Spill kits are one of the recommended measures. Even a minor leak can pose a significant risk to workers or the public. Some of the key risks from spills include:
Injury from slips and falls: Spills of many substances can result in the floor becoming slippery, which is a risk to the health of employees and staff.
Fire risks from flammable chemicals: Chemicals that are highly flammable are a significant risk, especially in environments with machinery or the risk of sparks from electrical equipment.
Environmental contamination: If left unmanaged, chemicals can leach into the soil and groundwater, resulting in environmental contamination that is harmful to plants, animals and people.
Health problems from chemical exposure: Exposure to chemicals can cause a range of health problems caused by direct contact or breathing in vapours, from burns and skin irritation to lung damage.
Surface and building degradation from corrosion: An uncleaned leak or spill can cause structural damage to the building over time if the chemical is corrosive.
The HSE also recommends that spill kits be readily available in case of emergency and that these kits should be properly maintained to ensure they are fit for purpose.
Selecting the right spill kit
Spill kits are as varied as the different chemical leaks and incidents they need to manage. As such, it’s important to select the right emergency kit for your individual risk or to purchase multiple spill kits if you maintain a stock of a wide range of different hazardous chemicals. Here’s what you should consider when picking the right spill kit:
1. Identify the liquid
Spill kits are designed for specific materials, with a range of properties and included materials to contain a type of chemical. For example, an oil spill kit will have varying contents from a kit for highly acidic substances. Determining the liquids that are a potential risk can help you choose a suitable spill kit to protect your business and employees.
2. Know your volume
The amount of liquid that could potentially spill should be the foundation for choosing the right spill kit. Your kit should have a capacity that exceeds this amount. For instance, if you have a 25L drum of a particular chemical, your spill kit should be able to contain more than this amount. If you have multiple containers of the same material kept in the same area, you may want to expand your kit to account for all of them or keep several kits on-site.
3. Assess the environment
Understanding the different requirements for spillage containment includes looking at your specific environment. For example, if your area is indoors, there may be different requirements compared to an outdoor incident. Clean areas, medical spaces and laboratories will all require lint-free absorbents. Outdoor spaces will require a durable and weather-resistant container. Your choice of spill kit should be able to safely contain a spill in your specific circumstances.
4. Check the contents
A spill kit includes everything needed to contain a spill immediately following a leak or other incident. This emergency kit includes absorbent materials designed for the containment of specific materials, such as petrol or acids. Spill kits have absorbent materials (mats, socks, pillows), personal protective equipment (gloves and goggles), and compliant waste disposal bags. Ensure your chosen kit has all of these items to provide reliable protection should an incident occur.
DENIOS supplies modular spill kits, allowing for easy refilling or expansion to meet changing requirements. Our range includes everything from portable solutions to caddies and stations to meet your needs.
Portable, Stationary or Mobile - Tailored Spill Responses for Every Environment
Different workplaces require different setups. At DENIOS, we offer spill kits in several formats to meet the specific needs of your facility based on the capacity of stored chemicals.
Portable spill kits
The handheld spill kits are compact and lightweight, allowing them to be kept in service vehicles and delivery fleets as well as be available to remote teams. These spill kits are best suited to small-capacity leaks.
Stationary spill kits
These static, larger-capacity models offer a central station for access to spill containment materials. These emergency spill kits are a suitable option for use in fixed workstations, chemical stores, production areas and warehouses.
Mobile spill kits
These large spill kits are mounted on trolleys or fitted with wheels, allowing for swift movement across large facilities to reach leaks quickly. These kits are well-suited to manufacturing sites, logistics operations and distribution centres with large square footage.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Spill kits are highly recommended, but not specifically required by law in all workplaces. However, you should have appropriate emergency kits on your premises to ensure you are complying with HSE and COSHH requirements for appropriate control measures.
Spill kits should be inspected every 1-3 months and also inspected additionally after each use to ensure your kit still offers suitable protection and containment.
Yes, spill kits can be refilled. Our modular emergency spill kits can be expanded or refilled to ensure you are always in compliance.
Your choice of spill kit should always exceed the capacity of the chemical stored. For example, if you have a 50L barrel of a specific chemical, your spill kit should exceed this volume for safe containment.
