Skilled Mercury Spillage Cleaning
If you require a professional mercury spillage cleaning company in Swanley, look no further.
We can be on-site in hours to provide a fast, reliable cleaning service.
We will always encounter mercury in our lives, but only at low levels of exposure. We consume this element often through fish, shellfish, and poultry. In small doses, it is harmless, so we won't experience mercury poisoning in our lives for the most part. However, when mercury spills, you may be at risk of chronic mercury exposure that could lead to deadly consequences.
Here at ICE Cleaning, our technicians utilise their experience to tackle a mercury spill and are available nationwide around the clock. We prioritise your safety and remain until no mercury traces are left behind.
Simply give us a call today at 0208 066 0360 to find out more about our full range of chemical spill cleaning services for customers in Swanley.

What is a chemical spill risk assessment?
You may be familiar with a general risk assessment if you have worked in a warehouse or any other workplace with occupational hazards. However, those that work in chemical plants, facilities, and factories will also need to conduct a chemical spill risk assessment. If mercury is used, stored, or potentially exposed in the workplace, there must be annual risk assessments to lower exposure incidents.
If you are an employer, you are legally obligated to conduct a risk assessment at least once a year. It helps prevents workplace incidents and improve working conditions. With a risk assessment, you could identify any hazards or exposures early on, minimising the risk of chronic mercury exposure.
How does chronic mercury exposure affect the body?
Chronic mercury exposure may occur in several ways, depending on the form of mercury you have encountered. Elemental mercury will spill and evaporate into an odourless, invisible toxic vapour. Methylmercury can be ingested in large amounts through fish, shellfish, or broken fluorescent lights and batteries. Inorganic mercury causes harm when touched or exposed through faulty storage containers.
By either ingesting, inhaling, or touching mercury, you could potentially suffer from effects such as:
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Sensory impairment
- Memory loss
- Depression
- Lung damage
- Kidney damage
- Nervous system and brain damage

How to conduct a risk assessment
Chemical spill risk assessments can identify the probability, nature, and severity of potential chemical exposure. If you are unsure how to conduct these, the Health and Safety Authority have an advice sheet. This can be a template for building out your assessment sheet, which may change depending on your work environment.
Create an inventory
Assess your workplace in depth by collecting purchase orders, listing the chemicals brought in, and those used to a degree where a risk may be present.
Characterise the hazards
Upon identifying all dangers, you can understand the consequences, probability, and level of exposure that could come from a spill incident. You should then take appropriate steps to reduce risks and inform your staff.
Assess the exposure
Predicting the possible level of exposure will help you understand the severity of a spill if it occurs. With all the factors combined, you can move forward with new regulations and create a plan of action.
Control the chemical risks
With all the data you have collected, you could enforce new control measures to keep you, your staff, and your workplace safe. You should create steps to see if you can remove or replace the hazard with a safer alternative.
Record and review
At the end of the assessment, you should write down what you have discovered and discuss the next steps with your employees. You must inform them of any new hazards and the measures necessary to reduce chemical exposures.
