What size chemical spill kit do I need?

It depends on the largest single spill you're realistically preparing for — our range runs from 20L pail kits for small workstation use up to 240L kits for larger storage or process areas. As a rule of thumb, size your kit to at least the volume of your largest single container.

Is a chemical spill kit different from an oil/fuel spill kit?

Yes — hazchem kits use absorbents rated for aggressive chemicals, while oil/fuel kits use oil-only absorbents that repel water, useful for spills near drains or waterways. General purpose kits handle most non-aggressive liquid spills.

Do I need a spill pallet if I already have a spill kit?

A spill kit and a spill pallet do different jobs — the kit absorbs and cleans up an active spill, while a spill pallet (1, 2 or 4-drum) provides secondary containment for drums in ongoing storage, catching leaks before they happen. Most facilities storing drums need both.
