Why this range matters
Industrial spill kits are the practical core of UK workplace spill control
Industrial spill kits are essential for safely containing and cleaning up hazardous liquid spills — oil, chemicals, fuels, coolants, and aggressive solvents — in workplaces like factories, workshops, warehouses, fuel depots, and chemical stores. The right choice depends mainly on three things: the spill type, the capacity (litres) you need, and the mobility and storage that suits your site layout.
Our industrial spill kit range covers oil-only, chemical, and universal types in sizes from 15 litres for vehicles and small bays all the way to 600 litres in wheeled bin format for factories, refuelling points, and bulk storage areas. Every kit is specified to support COSHH-compliant arrangements, supplied from UK stock, with next working day dispatch on standard sizes.

Best industrial spill kits (UK options)
Four industrial spill kits that cover most UK workplaces
Our recommended picks — matched to the most common industrial spill risks we quote for.
Best overall (general industrial use)
120L Spill Kit — Overpack Drum
Drum-based kit for larger spill risks. The UN-rated overpack drum doubles as a containment vessel during clean-up.
Kit contents (7 items)
- 50× universal absorbent pads (40cm × 50cm)
- 8× absorbent socks (1.2m)
- 4× absorbent pillows
- 2× pairs nitrile gloves
- 1× pair safety goggles
- 5× disposal bags and ties
- 1× instruction sheet
A 120-litre universal spill kit in a UN-rated overpack drum is the all-rounder most garages, factories, and transport yards standardise on. It handles mixed spills, is easy to position near machinery, and the drum doubles as a containment vessel during clean-up.
Best for chemical hazards
120L Chemical Spill Kit — Overpack Drum
Large chemical-rated drum kit for bulk storage areas and processing plants. UN-rated drum provides secondary containment.
Kit contents (7 items)
- 50× chemical absorbent pads (40cm × 50cm)
- 8× chemical socks (1.2m)
- 4× chemical pillows
- 2× pairs chemical-resistant gloves
- 2× pairs safety goggles
- 1× face shield
- 5× hazardous waste disposal bags and ties
Use a dedicated chemical spill kit wherever acids, alkalis, solvents, or unknown liquids are involved — labs, chemical storage, or process areas. The yellow-coded absorbents are rated for aggressive substances that would overwhelm universal pads.
Best compact / secondary kit
30L Universal Spill Kit — Holdall Bag
Portable holdall kit for light-to-medium spills. Easy to carry and store near workstations or in vehicles.
Kit contents (4 items)
- 20× universal absorbent pads (40cm × 50cm)
- 3× absorbent socks (1.2m)
- 1× pair nitrile gloves
- 2× disposal bags and ties
A 30-litre universal holdall is the workhorse secondary kit. Ideal for service bays, small workshops, as a backup kit near high-traffic areas, or distributed across multiple points on a large factory floor.
Best for fuel & oil environments
120L Oil-Only Spill Kit — Overpack Drum
Drum-based oil-only kit for refuelling areas, engineering workshops, and outdoor fuel storage. UN-rated drum doubles as containment.
Kit contents (6 items)
- 50× oil-only absorbent pads (40cm × 50cm)
- 8× oil-only socks (1.2m)
- 4× oil-only pillows
- 2× pairs nitrile gloves
- 1× pair safety goggles
- 5× disposal bags and ties
Oil-only kits are the right choice for petrol stations, transport depots, generator rooms, and plant machinery areas. The hydrophobic absorbents selectively soak hydrocarbons and repel water, which matters outdoors and anywhere coolant or standing water is present.

Common industrial scenarios
Matching kits to the four industrial scenarios we quote most often
Spill type × environment × compliance trigger, with a defensible kit choice for each.
| Scenario | Likely liquids | Compliance trigger | Kit call |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing / production floor | Coolant, hydraulic oil, lubricant, mixed wash-down | COSHH assessment + HSWA | 120L universal drum at zone level, 30L holdall backups |
| Bunded drum / IBC storage | Diesel, waste oil, stored chemicals | Oil Storage (England) Regs 2001 · EA guidance | 240L+ oil-only or chemical (match to contents), sized to 110% of largest container |
| Chemical store / lab | Acids, alkalis, solvents, reactive substances | COSHH reg 7 & 13 · DSEAR (if flammable) | Yellow-coded chemical kit matched to substance class; PPE + neutralising absorbents |
| Hydraulics / machinery bay | Hydraulic oil, lubricants, occasional fuel | COSHH + HSE guidance on slip risk | Oil-only drum kit near machine, pad packs for drip control |

How to choose
How to choose the right industrial spill kit
A four-step method we use to spec kits for UK workplaces.
Oil, chemical, or universal?
- Oil-only → fuels, diesel, engine oil, hydraulic fluid. Repels water, floats on surfaces.
- Chemical → acids, alkalis, solvents, unknown liquids. Yellow-coded and rated for aggressive substances.
- Universal → mixed workplace environments with water-based fluids, oils, and coolants.
Capacity guide by site type
- 20–30L → small leaks, vehicles, service vans
- 50–100L → workshops, maintenance areas, light production
- 120L–240L → industrial sites, compliance-driven risk assessments
- 600L+ → factories, fuel depots, bulk chemical stores, logistics hubs
Container format
- Clip-top bags / holdalls → grab-and-go for vans and bays
- Overpack drums → containment + storage combined, ideal for chemical stores
- Wheelie bins (240L) → mobile, repositionable, high-visibility
- Four-wheel bins (600L) → maximum capacity for fuel depots and production halls
Essential kit contents
- Absorbent pads, socks, pillows, and booms
- PPE — gloves, goggles, face shields for chemical kits
- Disposal bags, ties, and hazard-marked waste containers
- Instruction sheet and clear labelling for fast deployment
Supply & compliance
- UK stock
- Next working day dispatch on standard sizes
- COSHH-matched absorbents
