Maintenance Spill Kits

A spill kit is a collection of tools and materials used to contain and clean up spills. The contents of a spill kit depend on the nature of the substance that is likely to be spilled. The spill kit may contain absorbents, gloves, goggles, disposal bags, and other items necessary for responding to a spill. A well-stocked spill kit is essential for minimizing the risk of injury or environmental damage in the event of a spill.
