A key element of successful spill management in the workplace is performing a site audit. It should be the starting point for any spill management planning.
Whether your business deals with few or many liquids, you should conduct site audits. Audits are best done by an experienced employee or an outsourced specialist site-auditor.
A lot more goes into purchasing spill kits than the transaction itself. Choosing a spill kit that is right for your business is key to running a safe workplace.
In this article, we help you work out your business’s specific spill kit needs. Additionally, you’ll find information on maintaining a spill kit. Keeping up with the maintenance of your spill kits will save you time and money in the long run!
If a chemical spill takes place at your workplace, chemicals can enter the environment. Therefore, businesses have an obligation to carry out various preventative measures. This is to avoid contamination of the air, soil or groundwater.
We understand that it can be complex to find out about these environmental obligations. And also, to understand what they mean for your business. In this article, we’ll be sharing some background info on this with you.
Chemicals are present in many workplaces, from laboratories to office environments. Chemicals are hazardous and can be deadly when misused or in the case of an incident.
Chemical use ranges from one workplace to the next. Some chemicals are for production. Others are for cleaning purposes. They can also be to lubricate equipment or to ease some other workplace action.
Like you, here at Ecospill we’ve been horrified to see the state of devastation unleashed with the Bushfire crisis. As a company that is passionate about our environment, and equally passionate about helping Aussie businesses protect it – considering the fires, the loss of homes and loss of lives – there are no words.
But we have been encouraged by the stories of heroism, by the indefatigable spirit of our firefighters and by the sheer heart of the survivors. And if there’s anything we know about Aussies, it’s that we have such a courageous spirit, that keeps going no matter what.
The merits of keeping up to date with your spill kits goes well beyond a personal sense of pride for keeping your local environment clean and protected. You are helping to ease the burden borne by the environment, leaving it as pristine – or more so – than you found it. As we learn more and more about the long-term impact of chemical pollution, we are realising that these habits have real-world implications for the well-being of ourselves, and our children in future years.
There is nothing to be gained by sitting around, especially during these dynamic days, and here at Ecospill, we like to keep up with the times. And the times of today call for a web presence that reflects our plans for the future – to remain firmly in touch with the trends in our sector and with the latest technology, to ensure that we continue to offer a service, across Australia, that sets a high standard for both products and client care.
