PIG Spill Kits come in a variety of sizes to accommodate both large and small spills.

PIG Universal Absorbents absorb oils, coolants, solvents and water PIG Oil-Only Absorbents soak up oil not water PIG HazMat absorbents absorb most acids, caustics or unknown liquids. Confine the spillД¬onfining the spill may be a simple task for spills of a few litres or it could be more difficult for larger spills, so it is important to make sure that the correct absorbents and size of spill kit are available for the liquids that have been spilled. PPE should be specifically chosen by the company using it so that the appropriate protection is chosen. New Pig does not supply PPE in their spill kits because the chemicals and liquids companies are responding to and sizes of personnel vary widely. If the danger is uncertain and the material is unknown, the worst should be assumed and the highest level of protection used. Consulting the SDS, Chemical Manufacturers literature or the PPE Manufacturers literature can aid in choosing. The spill responder may already be wearing the necessary PPE because they were working with the spilled liquid, but if not, it is crucial that the appropriate PPE is chosen. Select personal protective equipment (PPE) Once the extent of the spill and the risks are understood, appropriate measures may need to be taken to isolate the spill area (e.g. Next, identify how much has been spilled and the primary dangers posed to the spill responders and the environment. The spilled material can be identified from the container label or the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). This could be instant because you know the liquid spilled because you were working with it, or it may involve some investigation.

Assess the riskДЇrom the moment a spill occurs and throughout response, responders should determine the risks that may affect human health, the environment and property. These steps along with the correct equipment and training will ensure that spill response is both fast and effective.

Evaluate the incident and implement cleanup.

When spills happenДЄlthough Spill response plans are specific to a facility, New Pig have identified 7 steps that will ensure effective spill response: Identifying the worst possible spill scenario will enable companies to cover all bases and stock the correct size of Spill Kit, and knowing this potential helps a facility determine what tools and equipment will be needed for proper response. PIG Spill Kits are packed to aid fast response and ensure immediate access as spills can happen when we least expect them.

Keeping PIG Spill Kits on hand is a great first step toward effective spill preparedness, and for enabling quick spill response. WeвЂ™ve grown into a multi-channel, multi-brand supplier of products designed specifically for leak-and-spill management, industrial safety and plant maintenance. Since 1985, New Pig has been providing innovative products and services to industrial, institutional and governmental facilities. It is inevitable that spills will happen, but with effective preparation and the correct equipment they can be controlled and costly accidents can be avoided. They are required to create products, lubricate machines, cool parts and to perform a variety of other tasks. Every company will have a unique plan for their location.

However, it is important for companies to build their own procedures into these steps, including things like designating areas where spill response equipment is kept, determining a spill response team, recording the liquids and containers that are involved and developing internal reporting procedures. Assessing the risk, selecting the correct PPE equipment, confining the spill, stopping the source, evaluating the incident and implementing cleanup, decontaminating the site and completing required reports are all considered effective steps to take when responding to a spill. Stocking the appropriate spill response equipment and providing the proper training for all employees is important before a spill response plan can be implemented.Д¬ombining the correct equipment and training with a clear spill response guide ensures total preparedness. Every facility should have an effective spill response plan to prevent accidents from becoming disasters.
