Oil and Fuel Emergency Spill Kit

Typical fuel spill kits contain several materials and equipment to keep personnel safe, control a spill, and prevent property damage. Oil and fuel spill kits of every size contain:

• A bin or container: An oil, petrol, or diesel fuel spill kit includes a high-visibility yellow wheelie bin. The durable container is easily moved to the spill’s location and contains the disposed materials.

• Highly absorbent materials: Cloths, foam, and rolls soak up spilt oil, petrol, diesel, and other fuel quickly and effectively. 

• Personal Protective Equipment: Essential PPE protects personnel from risks such as fuel getting on their skin, fume inhalation, and splashes in their eyes.

• Disposal supplies: An end-to-end fuel spill kit ensures safe disposal of your used absorbent materials and PPE, typically in the same bin that the kit was supplied in for efficient, safe, and convenient disposal.

• Hazard sign: Place the yellow warning sign next to or over the oil or fuel sill to warn others of its presence and prevent potential slips.

Oil spillage kit sizes

We supply a wide range of mobile oil and fuel spill kit sizes. From a small spill kit for an oil leak in a garage to a large fuel spillage kit for significant high-risk incidents, there are options to keep UK businesses of any size safe.

Oil, petrol, and diesel spill kits come in these sizes:

• 120 litre oil and fuel spill kits: ideal for cleaning up small leaks, such as from vehicle and machinery engines.

• 240 litre oil and fuel spill kits: a standard bin and kit for small to medium leaks spills.

• 360 litre oil and fuel spill kits: this larger two-wheel bin and kit suits medium-scale leaks, such as from petrol and diesel tanks.

• 500 litre oil and fuel spill kits: a four-wheel bin that’s best for medium to large-scale spills, like those on construction sites.

• 1000 litre oil and fuel spill kits: the biggest kits for large fuel spills, such as at petrol stations.

You can buy and combine sizes, from a single kit to a bulk order. It's often better to have multiple fuel spill kits in convenient locations to reduce response time when an incident occurs.

Benefits of oil and fuel spill kits

Many businesses' primary concern is complying with health and safety legislation such as the UK’s COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations. Oil and fuel spill kits help control accidents and ensure compliance. 

During an incident, a mobile fuel spill kit can prevent spills from spreading and, crucially, keep them from reaching a source of ignition. This can potentially prevent a major fire while protecting people, property, and the surrounding natural environment.

• Protect workers: Oil and fuel are highly flammable fluids that pose a serious injury risk if they spill and ignite. An oil spill kit includes PPE for immediate protection and reduces the incident's overall impact through rapid response.

• Prevent fires: Spill socks, absorbent foams, and purpose-made cloths reduce the spread of flammable liquids and enable personnel to evacuate the area.

• Fast cleanup: You can quickly move a mobile oil and fuel spill kit to the incident location. Quick cleanups minimise any downtime for your business, reducing any potential financial losses.

• Reduced costs: Using a spill kit should ensure a quick cleanup and less property damage, faster business recovery, and reduced risk of financial penalties due to compliance breaches.

• COSHH compliance: Businesses have an obligation to protect employees against exposure to hazardous substances under COSHH 2002 Section 7. A spill kit for oil and fuel is a visible way to demonstrate your compliance.
