Spill Kits

The storage and handling of Flammable and Combustible materials are regulated under your applicable fire code.  In addition, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and Environment Canada have a variety of regulations that require facilities to be prepared for spills, leaks, and releases of liquid. Because needs differ, it is up to the facility to determine the best way to be prepared. If you use or store fuels, oils, chemicals, hydraulic fluids, batteries, solvents and other similar liquids, you will require a spill kit to keep your facility safe and help prevent spills from polluting your works site or the environment.
