In pharmaceutical manufacturing, safety is not just a regulatory obligation, it forms the foundation of efficient, compliant, and responsible operations. With complex chemical processes, potent compounds, and stringent quality controls, pharma plants must be prepared to manage every type of emergency. Among the most critical preparedness measures is spill response training, which equips employees to act quickly, safely, and effectively...
Maintaining clean and hazard-free production floors is essential in the food and beverage industry, where hygiene, safety, and compliance are non-negotiable. From processing and packaging to storage and distribution, every stage of the workflow depends on a safe working environment that meets strict regulatory standards. One of the simplest yet effective tools in achieving this is the use of high-quality...
Winter delivers some of the most iconic flying scenes for the aerospace industry. However, on the ground, cold temperatures directly affect aircraft performance, flight operations, and runway safety—requiring airlines, airports, and flight crews to follow strict procedures to keep air travel safe, efficient, and on schedule. As temperatures drop, the risks associated with fuel, oil, hydraulic fluids, and de-icing chemicals...
When your site handles hazardous liquids, winter isn’t just cold — it’s high-risk. One slip, one containment failure, one unnoticed leak frozen under ice can quickly escalate into a serious incident. That’s where Hyde Park Environmental steps in with comprehensive spill control solutions, winter spill protection and cold-weather containment products designed to keep your operations safe, compliant and fully functional...
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, precision and safety go hand in hand. One small spill of a chemical or solvent can risk product contamination, worker injury, and environmental harm. As we move into 2025, pharmaceutical facilities face stricter compliance expectations under HSE and COSHH regulations — making a well-equipped spill kit an essential part of every site’s safety strategy. The Health and...
In the push toward zero-waste kitchens, much of the attention goes to packaging, food scraps, and composting. However, one challenge is often overlooked: liquid waste and spills (oils, sauces, cleaning fluids, wash water). Even small amounts- if rinsed straight into drains- can cause blockages, pollution, or regulatory penalties. In the UK, food businesses must not allow cooking oil to spill...

The United Kingdom is used to frequent rainfall, and in recent years we have experienced persistent heavy rain, storms and flooding. Now, the UK Met Office is predicting that England is again set to experience severe flooding in February 2023. These end of winter floods would be a result of a powerful pattern influenced by cooler temperatures in the Pacific...
In the UK, heavy snow and prolonged cold snaps are relatively rare but, as a result, when it does happen, we tend to find ourselves unprepared and exposed to the damage of the elements. Snow and ice can wreak havoc on pavements, car parks and other areas surrounding your facility. When this happens, businesses need to be prepared and take...
It is a legal requirement in the UK to have adequate secondary containment and spill control in place. Currently the Control of Pollution (Storage) Regulations (2001) apply in England, and there is broadly similar legislation in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Do the regulations apply to you? Dangerous materials such as oils, solvents and chemicals can present a threat to...
dangers to workers. Employers are responsible for providing safety signs in the workplace if there is a significant risk that can’t be avoided or controlled in any other way. If this is news to you then this is a sign to keep on reading. What are safety signs? Safety signs are easily recognisable graphic labels. They are designed to warn...
The UK manufacturing industry employees millions of workers each year. While many of these workplaces offer a safe work environment, others do not. In fact, there are an average of 22 worker deaths per year in this sector. The reality is that the manufacturing environments are inherently dangerous. However, there are several simple workplace safety measures that both workers and...
Warehousing and storage is a hazardous industry, as the work creates unique health and safety hazards that must be properly identified and managed in order to prevent harm. This means warehouse health and safety should be top priority for any business in this sector. According to The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) the main non-fatal injuries by the most common...
