In this article, we will explore numerous drum bund types to help you provide your employees with a safe and efficient work environment.

Designed to segregate substances that could cause harm if combined, drum bunds are an essential tool for any workplace that stores hazardous liquids. Examples include warehouses, chemical storage facilities, transport facilities, drum storage facilities, processing areas, service stations and many others. Use of drum bunds in these work spaces can help minimise contamination of factory floors, inventory or stormwater drains, and as such offer the ideal storage solution of drums.

Before implementing a drum storage bund in your workplace, it is important that you ensure all drum storage equipment is situated on stable and level ground. This reduces the possibility of spills and leaks, and assures you have a secure storage system in place.

Maximising Your Safety

Before you begin using your industrial spill kits, it is recommended that you carry the following safety measures. Firstly, train all personnel on how to use them, and be sure to have a standard procedure that is easy to follow and understand. Secondly, take inventory of every liquid you keep on site and recognise which ones have a high risk of leaking. Thirdly, you should store spill control kits in accessible locations, and have emergency contact information ready if you need it. Remember that as well-equipped as these spill kits are, it is always best to evacuate and preserve the safety of your employees if the situation is too dangerous. Fourthly, all workers should wear effective eye and face protection, as well as gloves. Finally, keep in mind that actual absorbent capacity will vary depending on liquid viscosity, specific gravity and temperature. These precautions will help your employees maintain safe working practices no matter the workplace environment.

A spill kit is an important thing to have in various industrial work environments, particularly in car workshops, automotive repair shops and other industrial areas.

Applying Oil and Fuel Spill Kits in the Workplace

Employing oil and fuel spill control kits can be easy and efficient by following a few key safety measures. Firstly, identify the leak or spill and retrieve your spill kit from an accessible location. You should then remove anything movable from the spill area and begin to place absorbents onto the spill as soon as you can. Absorbent pads are the most effective for being put straight onto spilt liquids, while booms and mini-booms are more suited to redirecting chemicals away from entering drains and storm water outlets. It is recommended that you use pads and pillows from the centre outwards to absorb the most liquid possible. Just note that absorbent capacity will vary depending on specific gravity, temperature and liquids viscosity.

Once you have finished cleaning up the spilt liquids, place all waste into the disposal bags. Ensuring that all personnel are trained on how to use spill kits will smoothen out this process, and running a few spillage drills is not a bad idea in order to pinpoint in what ways they need to improve. Your employees should also wear adequate eye and face protection, and you should have emergency contact information at the standby in case of extremely dangerous circumstances. Remember that it is always better to evacuate rather than attempt to clean up a spill that is too big or hazardous to handle.

Storing hazardous chemicals comes with the risk of leaks and spills regardless of how carefully and securely you store them. In these cases, having an efficient solution to quickly manage them can help prevent operational delays, damage to equipment and health risks for your employees.

Just note that absorbent capacity will vary depending on specific gravity, temperature and liquids viscosity. Furthermore, it is also recommended that you avoid using vermiculite floor sweeps in outdoor areas as their lightweight designs make them prone to being blown away, and keep in mind that they are not ideal for cleaning up oil-based liquids. If you are unsure on how to employ any of these spill kit components, refer to the included instruction sheet.

Precautions You Should Take to Preserve Your Safety

Ensuring the safety of your employees is of the utmost importance when applying hazardous spill kits.
