- Protect your workforce: Reduce slip hazards and exposure to harmful fluids.
- Protect the environment: Prevent oil and chemicals from entering drains or waterways.
- Stay compliant: Meet UK HSE and EA spill prevention regulations.

Common Spill Control FAQs
What type of spill kit do I need?
Oil-only kits are for hydrocarbons like lubricants and diesel. Chemical kits are for acids and alkalis, while universal kits handle most non-aggressive liquids. Our team can advise on the right option for your fluids.
How often should I check my spill kits?
Spill kits should be inspected monthly and after any use to ensure all absorbents and PPE are present and within date.
Do you offer on-site training?
Yes — Kernow Oils provides on-site training covering spill response procedures, correct use of equipment, and safe waste disposal.
Can you restock my spill stations automatically?
Absolutely. Our replenishment service ensures your spill kits and emergency products are always ready when needed.
