Being prepared for oil spills

Recognise the feeling of being caught off guard when an unexpected oil spill or leak occurs during a job?

Dealing with minor oil spills and leaks is a common occurrence for heating engineers as part of their day-to-day work and we know all too well the issues that can arise with being unprepared should an accidental spill or leak occur.

To provide engineers with a solution to this common problem, EOGB stocks a selection of oil clean up products that can be purchased as separate items or as a comprehensive kit that can be readily at hand as a precautionary measure.

The 20-25 litre ‘Abzorb’ kit comes in a rigid box and contains:

• Abzorb oil eater – a non-toxic organic loose fibre which can absorb up to ten times its own weight in spilt oil or product
• Absorbent snake – a 1 metre maize-filled tube for isolating spillages
• Abztract cleaner – a 250ml spray bottle of natural cleaner which removes oil ingress from concrete and hard surfaces
• Supazorb wipes – for wiping down any contaminated surface
• Gloves, safety goggles and full instructions for use.

Being considerate to the environment, and to a customer’s property, is vital and every product in the range is made up of 100% organic material, making it extremely environmentally friendly. None of the products leave any residue behind.

We recommend that all heating engineers keep a complete oil spill response kit in their van as a contingency measure. By dealing with a fuel spillage quickly and safely, the toxic, hazardous effects can be minimised or eradicated and any potential for insurance claims avoided.
