Whether you're operating a busy construction site, managing a fleet of vans, or running a manufacturing facility, liquid spills are an inevitable part of the job.

Spill Kit Colour Coding: Grab the Right Kit, Fast
When time is tight, you need to know exactly which kit to grab. That's why we've developed the exclusive ContainIT colour-coded system - making it simple to act fast in the event of a spill.
Every ContainIT kit is clearly labelled with a distinct colour that corresponds to the type of liquid it's designed to handle. Whether you're working with oils, fuels, chemicals, AdBlue, or general-purpose liquids, the colour-coded system means you can instantly identify the correct kit for the spill - helping to prevent mistakes, delays, or further contamination.
The system is designed to be intuitive, so even those new to the site can quickly learn which colour matches which spill type. This removes uncertainty and enables your team to respond confidently in high-pressure situations.
Why it matters:
- Quick, confident response - Your team can grab the right kit without hesitation
- Minimises risk - Reduces the chance of using the wrong product for hazardous materials
- Supports compliance - Demonstrates a clear, organised spill response system in line with UK regulations
- Streamlines site safety - Easy for supervisors to manage, easy for teams to use
ContainIT kits take the guesswork out of spill control, keeping your site safe, compliant, and prepared for the unexpected.
No confusion. No delay. Just grab, go, and contain.
Where Should You Keep Spill Kits?
Spills happen fast - which means your response has to be faster. To stay safe and compliant, you should always position your spill kits where they're most accessible:
- Inside vehicles, lorries, and mobile units
- At fuel storage and refuelling areas
- In workshops, plant rooms, and chemical stores
- Near drains, spill-prone areas, or machinery
- At visible, fixed locations with clear signage
But it's not just about proximity - it's about making sure you have the right kit for the type of liquid you're working with. That's where the ContainIT colour-coded system makes it simple.
