Posted By Bobbysocks Hi all, I've tasked myself with undertaking spill response training for my current company. I feel qualified enough with hundreds of incidents attended and successfully mopped up. It's only small quantities, minimal risk but thought it may be useful. I would obviously like to set up a mock spill incident. What have people used in the past as a 'pollutant'. For obvious reasons I'd rather not chuck a 45 gallon drum of oil across the car park, but if I remember rightly alot of the spill clean we have are oil absorbant only and won't take up water, so my original idea of using water with a green dye may not work? Im probably reading too much into this and a bit of green dye, some drain covers and absorbant would probably do the trick fine. Any suggestion greatly received? Bob

Posted By Pez Hargreaves I did as you mentioned used water mixed with a food dye. Went down ok, always find it beneficial to spend time on the theory side, discussing the what ifs brings up some good points, also run through the procedures, and show a DVD, selection maintenance of PPE.
