Spills are a major cause of accidents and injuries in the workplace. They are the prime cause of slip and fall injuries, and if the material spilled is hazardous, a range of other problems can arise. Workers can be exposed to harmful materials, or a fire can even break out. At Orr Safety Corporation, we can help you put a safety system in place that reduces the risk of spill-related accidents and other dangers in the work environment.

Spill kits can go a long way towards minimizing risk and accidents. We carry an emergency spill sack which is a comprehensive kit packaged in a reusable sack. The kit includes absorbent and safety materials including pads, pillows, and gloves. When used to its fullest, it can absorb 11 gallons of a spilled substance.

Along with spill kits, we also carry basic sorbent products. These items can be used to clean up oil, oil-based chemicals, solvents, and solvent-based paints. They can collect up to 25 times their weight in oil, so they will save you time and money when dealing with a spill.

For spills and leaks of hazardous materials, first responders will need to be in place. Basic spill kits are not enough to handle these jobs. That is why at Orr Safety Corporation, we train Haz Mat technicians to locate points of release, and stop them quickly and effectively. We will also demonstrate the proper way to clean and dispose of hazardous materials. You can learn more about our classes by calling 800-669-1677, or by further exploring www.orrcorp.com.
