UK manufacturer of spill control and prevention products, Fosse Liquitrol, has produced an illustrative video detailing best practice procedures to prevent, control and clean-up spills.

It contains information, in line with UK Environment Agency and SEPA guidelines and current legislation on spill prevention and control, that considers the correct handling and storage of all types of liquids and illustrates the damage that can be done to the environment.

The company said that the video has been reviewed by several of its customers and the comments have been very favourable.

Listing all the relevant regulations regarding spill prevention and best practice procedures, it also discusses secondary containment and the correct storage and handling of all types of hazardous materials.

Correct methods to clear up spills and dispose of the cleaning materials effectively are demonstrated using actual products and a review of an emergency spill response eight point plan completes all the procedures that should be adopted to ensure best practice and comply with the relevant regulations.

According to Fosse Liquitrol, several companies commented that the video was very stimulating, particularly the section on the correct steps to take to control and stop spills, whilst the video supported strategies that many of the companies already had in place.

Clearly and practically presented with demonstrations, useful references to regulations, descriptive comparisons and references to the natural environment relate the video to very topical issues.

Fosse believes that it would be suitable as a support for spill control training courses, to inform and educate new employees and provide refresher training.

Fosse Liquitrol's video is aimed at supporting the roles of the first responder, supervisor, engineer and health and safety manager who have a responsibility for safe working procedures and emergency response strategies.
