Spill cleanup training
Neutralising spills using sorbents
Are you sure that each of your staff members can properly and effectively contain a spill? If not, carry out a quick test to find out whether your team needs training.
Imagine that a barrel or machine has broken down at your workplace, and a hazardous liquid is rapidly spilling onto the floor. Ask your staff to list the first three actions they should take upon noticing the incident.
In what order will you carry out the following steps?
- Containing a spill using a sorbent sleeve
- Notification to the line manager
- The principle of personal protective equipment
Rules
We will outline the guidelines for the correct use of sorbents and the procedures to follow in the event of an incident.
Prevention
We will discuss ways of preventing environmental contamination and internal operating procedures for dealing with spills.
Function
We will simulate a leak and test the training participants’ skills.
Does your team need training?
If you are not confident that an environmental incident at your site will be dealt with effectively, correctly and safely, let’s arrange a convenient time to meet.
We will arrive at the site with a pre-arranged set of sorbents: OIL, CHEMICAL or UNIVERSAL.
We will guide participants through the various stages of the training course and issue personalised certificates to confirm the skills they have acquired.
Stage one – the theoretical module
In the theory section, we cover the following in turn:
- guidelines for the correct use of sorbents
- procedures to follow in the event of a breakdown
- ways of preventing environmental pollution
- internal operational procedures for spill response
Stage two – practical module
In our practical workshops, we provide:
- a simulated scenario to test the skills acquired
- teamwork and gamification
- concluding the simulation with a discussion of the errors
Are you confident that your staff will act appropriately in the event of an incident?
Book a training course and rest assured that any environmental incident at your site will be dealt with effectively and safely.
Take a look at what the practical part of the spill response training involves.
