Spillage response training put to the test

A new certificated spillage response training package promotes industry best practice in line with environmental legislation and pollution control guidelines.

Dedicated to promoting industry best practice in line with environmental legislation and pollution control guidelines, Fosse Liquitrol has launched a new certificated spillage response training package.

Spillages of all types and sizes, whether indoors or outdoors, can and do, have serious implications for businesses.

These include harm to the environment, health and safety risk of employees, company disruption, expensive replacement of materials, large fines and clean up costs.

Already proving to be highly successful, the training is designed to inform on spillage prevention as well as providing first responders with the awareness, techniques and basic know-how at a spillage incident to safely use sorbent products to recover the spilt substance and limit its escape to the environment.

Within 24 hours of receiving certificated spill response training from Fosse Liquitrol, staff at Warburton's Wednesbury bakery had to put what they had learned into practice when contractors put what they believed to be empty drums (which in fact were full) into skips and they inevitably leaked.

Garry Warhurst, Hygiene and Stores Manager comments: "We were delighted with the way the hygiene operatives coped with the situation and we are sure that was the result of the Fosse Liquitrol training".

Fosse Liquitrol is a leading UK based manufacturer and supplier of spillage prevention and control products and services with a reputation for product quality, reliability and performance.

As a member of the BSiF Sorbent Manufacturers Group, Fosse Liquitrol is integrally involved in promoting industry best practice recommendations for spillage control and played a key role in the creation of the new BS7959 absorbent test standard.
