Spill kits are a vital aspect of any industrial workplace, but the deployment of your spill kit has to be done right for it to operate as designed. There is often a level of panic when a spill has occurred, and internalising the method of deployment of your spill kit can ensure that it is done properly.

Ecospill is leading the way in industrial spill kit training, offering courses from introductory level through to Certificate IV proficiency.
