Spill Kit: Chemicals and Oils
A chemical or oil spillage that is not contained quickly can cause serious harm to people, damage property and contaminate drains and the wider environment - and the window for effective response is narrow. This CPD-accredited course covers the types of spill kit available for chemical and oil spillages, what each contains and when to use it, and the step-by-step procedures for responding to a spill safely while protecting yourself, others and the surrounding environment. Completed entirely online, it supports compliance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002.
