We guarantee an excellent level of service and outstanding results every time
Our experts are equipped to manage hazardous oil spills to contain, remove, and treat the oil using modern equipment. To ensure total safety and understand how to navigate the workplace, we perform a survey to determine the scope and severity of the issue.
We clean the affected area chemically and remove any remaining oil. This procedure might need to be repeated numerous times before we finish with the TORIK Cleaning system. If you are not pleased with the results, our knowledgeable cleaners will stay on-site and remove any contaminated materials off-site for as long as you need.
Preventing an oil spill in the workplace
All workers are at risk of serious injuries or chronic illnesses during an oil spill. By regularly doing risk assessments and soliciting input from your workers on the current workplace health and safety regulations, you may be able to identify these threats before they become serious. You can further prevent a spill by following these steps:
- Assess the probability of an oil leak annually
- Review the spill history to determine which area is most at risk
- Take staff feedback often to assess the best ways to improve safety
- Keep your staff up to date with the most recent health and safety laws and guidelines for handling, storing, transporting oil, and responding to emergencies
- Check oil-transporting vehicles to see if any oil tanks are leaking
- Assess your machinery and equipment regularly
- Have PPE and spill kits available
- Provide staff with filter bags, mesh baskets, and absorbent mats to keep everyone safe from oil exposure
The risks of an oil spill in the workplace
All employees will be in danger of various hazards that might cause serious injuries or life-long ailments if there is an oil spill. Regularly completing a spill risk assessment and asking your staff for feedback on the workplace's existing health and safety regulations will help you identify these risks early.
Health and welfare
The extent of the spill and how a person encounters it could change how an individual suffers from symptoms. Oil exposure can have serious health consequences, including an increased risk of cancer and dermatitis when inhaled, consumed, or touched.
Physical injuries
If oil spills onto a surface that workers touch or walk on, there is a chance of a slip-and-fall accident. Burnt and blistered skin could develop from hot oil spills. As an employer, you should have absorbent mats or pads to mop up extra oil or contain a leak around oil tanks and barrels.
Environmental impact
Oil tanks in the workplace could harm the environment because drains in the warehouse might connect to nearby water supplies. In the event of a workplace incident, local water could become contaminated. Surrounding drains must be covered, and the oil flow contained.
Fire risk
Oil is combustible and easily ignites upon encountering an open flame or any other heat source. Staff members could suffer severe burn injuries if they smoke after coming into touch with oil. Oil containers must be away from open fires or heat sources, and installing industrial-grade tanks will reduce the chance of a fire. Before consuming food, drinks, or smoking, workers should wash their hands thoroughly and discard any contaminated clothes.
