Spill Pallets for Drums

Drum spill pallets feature built-in sump trays that capture leaks, reducing the risk of contamination and improving workplace safety by preventing slip hazards and exposure to harmful substances. Made from durable materials like polyethene and steel, spill pallets are designed to withstand chemicals while ensuring easy handling with forklift-accessible designs.

Why Use Spill Pallets for Drums?

Spill pallets are essential for businesses handling hazardous liquids. They help prevent leaks from reaching the floor, reduce environmental contamination, and ensure compliance with UK safety regulations. Their durable, chemical-resistant construction makes them a long-lasting solution for effective spill management.

How to Use Spill Pallets for Drums

Using spill pallets for drums is simple:

Choose the right size – Select a spill pallet based on the number of drums you need to store (1, 2, 4, or more). Ensure your drums are always stored with compatible liquids. Non compatible liquids must be stored on separate bunded spill pallets.
Position the pallet – Place it on a stable, level surface in your storage or work area.
Secure the drums – Ensure the drums are upright and positioned securely on the pallet.
Monitor for spills – Regularly check for spills and leaks, as well as rainwater collection. Rainwater can cause contamination if a spill occurs and it will also reduce your sump capacity, so must be managed.
Train your team – Make sure employees understand how to handle spills and use the pallets effectively.

Choosing the Right Spill Pallet for Drums

When selecting a spill pallet, consider the type of liquid being stored, the number of drums required, and whether the storage area is indoors or outdoors. For external storage, consider a covered or sheltered spill pallet to prevent rain water ingress which will affect your sump capacity. For hazardous chemicals, ensure the pallet material is resistant to corrosion. If mobility is important, choose a pallet with forklift access to allow for easy transportation.

Businesses should also assess their compliance requirements to ensure the spill pallet meets industry standards.
