Spill pallets can help to minimise the effects of a leaking drum

Those who work with chemicals not only need to ensure that they are fully trained in how to work with them as safely as possible, but that they are also aware of how to deal with chemicals in the event of a leak or spill.

Nowadays, one of the safest ways of storing chemicals is in drums, and although these do offer a very high level of security, accidents do happen and it’s impossible to predict when.

Even a relatively small chemical spill can have an extremely negative impact on staff, immediate surroundings and the environment, so it’s important to ensure that you are fully prepared in the event that a spill should occur.

Even the most study of drums can benefit from a little back-up, and this is achievable through the use of spill pallets.

Spill pallets- which are also sometimes referred to as bunded pallets or sump pallets- are an effective way of helping to keep spills contained.

When you have invested in spill pallets, in the event that chemicals leak out of a drum, the pallet will help to keep the spill contained and prevent it from spreading into the surrounding area.

Spill pallets are available in several different types though- so do your research in order to pick the most suitable type for your requirements.
