We make sure we practice sustainability and do our part to protect the environment in our work practices, but there is one small act that could prevent catastrophic damage, managing spill contaminants.

Chemicals on work sites have the potential to cause destruction through storm water drains that filter through waterways and groundwater, poisoning plants, animals, and the food chain along the way out to the ocean, where it continues to affect marine life, plants, and birds.

The devastation of a chemical spill is not just limited to the environment, it poses a great risk to worker safety, and a spill will cost companies greatly in environmental fines and reputational damage.

Cleaning these spills is not simple and cannot undo the damage already done to the environment or people, so prevention is better than cure.

Site Assessment

In order to best prepare, you must first have an accurate picture of your facilities and risk factors:

• Chemicals – the fluids and chemicals present, quantity, and how they are stored and used
• Flooring and gradient – whether the floors are even and the effect of the surface for fluids
• Drains – the position and number of drains will determine which spill containment kit is needed, where to store them, and their storage location.
