Mercury was once an element with a variety of uses that included medicine. Since the mid-1900s, there has been a steady decline in the production of mercury due to the discovery of its toxicity. However, mercury spills could still occur especially in industrial settings like a factory or warehouses.
When mercury spills, whether at home or in the workplace, we can be on-site within a matter of hours in an emergency to contain and contaminate the affected area.
You can either give us a call at 0208 066 0360 or email us at enquiries@icecleaning.co.uk to find out more about the full range of chemical spill cleaning services available for customers in Cranbrook.

Workplaces most at risk of experiencing a mercury spill
Some workplaces will either be using or disposing of mercury, which puts workers at risk of high exposure to large amounts of mercury. These are occupational exposures when they occur. The workplaces most vulnerable to mercury spills or high exposure are:
Recycling facilities
Both hazardous waste and regular recycling facilities are likely to have a spill. This happens when electronics, batteries and fluorescent lights have been sorted into recycling or improperly disposed of. When these items break, they release mercury into the air, posing an inhalation risk.
Construction sites
Some equipment on-site such as switches, transformers, thermostats, and discharge lamps contain traces of mercury. If they break or the components are exposed, workers could inhale mercury.
Health and dental services
Dental practices may still use mercury dental fillings, which exposes doctors and their assistants to small amounts of the element. Health practices using older equipment such as glass thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, and manometers will be at risk of exposure if these break or deteriorate.
Oil and gas services
Technology and equipment used on sites where oils, gases, and chemicals are present will often contain traces of mercury. If any components break or become exposed, then workers could be at risk of high exposure.
We cover all areas in the Borough of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, including:
- Ashurst
- Collier's Green
- Groombridge
- Hartley
- Hawkenbury
- Horsmonden
- Langton Green
- Pembury
- Royal Tunbridge Wells
- Rusthall
- Sandhurst
- Sissinghurst
How to prevent occupational exposures
If you are an employer of a large workplace like a factory, warehouse, or medical practice, you are legally responsible for protecting your workers against occupational mercury exposure. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), mercury is one of the 500 substances with a Workplace Exposure Limit (WEL.) This means that any substances in this list must have limited exposure.
Monitor mercury exposures
You can get a consultant to carry out an air sample test. This will help you keep track of any potential inhalation risks posed to your workers.
Chemical spill risk assessments
You are under a legal obligation to carry out a risk assessment at least once a year. By identifying hazards early on, you could help prevent spills or high levels of mercury exposure in general.
