Absorbent products are vital to workplace safety. If there’s even a slight chance of chemical spills occurring, having the right absorbent products in your spill kit will make a huge difference in your workplace’s overall safety, and this is why Spill Station stocks such a wide variety of chemical absorbents, to help keep you compliant and safe at work.

Choose The Right Absorbents

When a spill occurs, you need something that can clean up the spill as effectively as possible. You ideally don’t want to be fumbling or using multiple spill absorbent products. You will want to use the right chemical absorbent for the right type of chemical spill.

If you use the wrong type of absorbent products, you won’t be able to clean up the spills correctly, or at all. This is why you need to be aware of what absorbents are needed, what quantity you need and how to properly dispose of absorbents as per your state’s rules.

By correctly using the right absorbents, you can remain compliant with the Australian Standards and be in line with the Australian Law.

Spill Absorbents Are a Great Choice

There are so many types of spill absorbents out there, and they have a great many benefits as outlined below.

• Due to convenience, cost efficiency and for using organic materials, such as cotton these are the best chemical absorbents to buy.
• Spill absorbents can hold up to ten times its body weight.
• Absorbent pads can be used with leaking products until they can be serviced.
• Some chemical absorbent pads can be reused if cleaned correctly, but this depends on the manufacturer and the chemical spill cleaned.

Train Workers in Using Absorbents

It’s a great start to have the right spill absorbent products, but it’s not enough. Employees need to know how to use the absorbents correctly. In the case of a Hazchem spill, employees cannot just use an absorbent to clean a spill off the cuff. They need to access the spill kit, wear the right personal protective equipment and then handle the spill safety and dispose of the used absorbents in the right manner.  If you don’t train workers correctly, they can handle the chemical hazard incorrectly and end up with permanent injuries or respond incorrectly, which can cause workplace downtime.

Hazchem is Yellow

If you’re new to the workplace safety world, many items are coloured a certain way to make them easily identifiable at a glance. In the case of Hazchem absorbents, you should be on the lookout for yellow.

Yellow Hazchem absorbents are used to absorb all industrial liquids, including aggressive chemicals such as those that are caustic and corrosive as well as chemicals including coolants and solvents. Essentially everything that is Class 5 and Class 8 corrosive materials, and cleaning materials are encompassed under the Hazchem umbrella.  

An added benefit of colouring your chemical absorbents is that you can easily signal without having to speak, that the leak or the spill the absorbent is covering is a chemical one, and this warns other workers to not touch or handle the absorbents.
