Spill Control

Within many sectors of work, there is a constant focus on the reduction of waste and the role of waste management from environmental agencies. This aspect has made the regulations of spill control very strict. Construction sites must not only adhere to regulations but also comply with inspections from the relevant authorities.

Spill Control

Effective spill control is critical for businesses handling oils, chemicals, fuels, solvents and other hazardous liquids. At Tiger Supplies, our professional-grade spill control products are designed to help warehouses, laboratories, factories, transport fleets and construction sites remain compliant, safe and operational.

From rapid-response spill kits to robust spill containment systems, we supply complete workplace spill management solutions built for industrial environments across the UK.

Our Spill Control Range

Our range supports both emergency response and preventative protection. Whether you require a compact industrial spill kit in UK facilities or large-scale containment systems for drum and IBC storage, we provide structured solutions to match your risk profile.

  • Chemical Spill Kits – Designed for aggressive liquids including acids, solvents and hazardous chemicals. These chemical spill kits use specialist absorbents suitable for corrosive substances and are clearly marked for safe identification.
  • Drain Spill Protection – Drain covers, mats and seals designed to prevent liquids entering waterways. Essential for environmental protection and compliance.
  • Maintenance Spill Kits – Universal absorbents suitable for mixed spills, including oil and water-based liquids. These maintenance spill kits provide flexible spill response for general industrial use.
  • Oil Spill Kits – Hydrophobic absorbents repel water while absorbing hydrocarbons. Ideal for forecourts, marine environments, engineering workshops and fuel storage areas where oil spill kits are required.
  • Spill Containment – Bunded pallets, drip trays, IBC bunds and sump systems to prevent leaks from spreading. Suitable for drum storage, chemical warehousing and liquid handling zones.

Choosing the Right Spill Kits for Your Business

Selecting the correct spill control products starts with understanding your workplace risks. Your spill response strategy should align with COSHH risk assessments and operational exposure levels.

  • Type of Substance – Identify whether your risk involves chemicals, oil/fuel or mixed liquids. Different absorbents are required for chemical, oil-only and maintenance spill kits.
  • Spill Volume & Absorption Capacity – Assess potential spill scale. From small workstation leaks to large industrial overflows, absorption capacity must match your maximum credible spill scenario.
  • Storage & Deployment Location – Position spill kits close to high-risk areas. Warehouses, loading bays, laboratories and vehicle fleets should have easily accessible spill control stations.
  • Environmental Risk – Where there is risk of contamination, integrate drain protection and spill containment measures to prevent liquid migration.
  • Compliance Requirements – Spill response planning must support COSHH obligations and align with HSE guidance for emergency spill control.

How to Use a Spill Kit Effectively

Every workplace should have a defined spill response procedure. Fast action reduces environmental risk and operational disruption.

  • Assess – Identify the substance and approximate quantity. Confirm PPE requirements before intervention.
  • Secure – Create a barrier using spill socks or booms. Protect drains using drain covers to prevent environmental contamination.
  • Absorb – Apply absorbent pads, rolls or granules to soak up the liquid. Ensure the correct absorbent type is used for the substance involved.
  • Clean – Wipe affected surfaces and ventilate if required. Remove slip hazards immediately.
  • Dispose – Place used absorbents in hazardous waste bags. Arrange compliant waste collection in line with Duty of Care regulations.

Spill Control Planning & Compliance

Proactive planning strengthens workplace safety and audit readiness. Effective spill control should be embedded within your operational risk management strategy.

  • COSHH Risk Assessment – Identify hazardous substances, assess spill likelihood and document response procedures.
  • Emergency Response Plan – Define responsibilities, evacuation procedures and communication protocols for major spill incidents.
  • Staff Training – Ensure employees understand spill kit use, PPE requirements and correct disposal methods.
  • Waste Management – Use suitable disposal bags and approved waste carriers for hazardous waste removal.
