I work in the Motor Trade (Dealerships) and have just started to look into spill management.
The supplier i have been looking at only seems to offer two main types of spill kit (oil & chemical). Both seem rather costly. Is there a multi-use kit available?
I fully understand the importance of spill management, but i always struggle to get my company to spend money, so i am hoping that someone can help me source a suitable/cost effective way in which to deal with spillages.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer me any advice.

It is extremely unlikely that you will find such an animal as the types of absorbent are different. I would look at making up your own from suitable component supplies to match your l;ikely spills and locations. Most of the kits always have something in them that you will never use. My firm favourite supplier has always been New Pig as they seem to offer the widest selection of items. There are however many more.
PS - Can I have the hat or mug if you get one!!!:-)

look at what you materials you use and the quantities involved. If the most you are going to possibly spill is 5 ltrs then spill soil or equivalent would do but if its 100's of ltrs then specialist kits may be required.
also look at where the drains and nearest water courses are and what measures would be required to prevent any spillage from entering them.
Hope this helps

There are three types of sorbent material available on the market, yellow-chemical, white-oil only, hydrophobic(does not absorb water) and grey-maintenance, these three strict colour choices were set out by a BSIF directive to standardise the confusing issue of what absorbent to use. If you have any questions on this or any other spill related question please don't hesitate to contact me.
