Be prepared!

Hazero mobile spill kits are designed to cover those moments when something hazardous gets knocked over or leaks. Contamination, or danger to staff, or plant, are constant risks to businesses, and reputations.

If you have the right spill kit on hand – that crisis can be averted.

Hazero mobile spill kits are available in a range of sizes (20L, 50L, 100L and 200L) and in Oil Only, General Purpose, and Chemical to suit all businesses and organisations.

What’s the difference between Oil Only, General Purpose, and Chemical?

The mobile kits each contain a different kind of sorbent product and other responding accessories – specialised and for a particular purpose. The kits, and sorbents, are colour coded for easy reference.

• Oil Only Spill Kits selectively absorbs oils, fuels and other hydrocarbons but repels water. It’s generally used in marine situations. (Kits are yellow. Sorbents are white.)

• General Purpose Spill Kits will absorb oils, fuels, hydrocarbons and also water-soluble liquids, such as coolants, brake fluid, paints and mild chemicals.(Kits are blue. Sorbents are grey.)

• Chemical Spill Kits designed to absorb everything an Oil Only or General Purpose Spill Kit can, as well as most acids, alkalis, and other harsh chemicals. (Kits are red. Sorbents are yellow.)

Why a Hazero Spill Kit?

Hazero spill kits are designed to give New Zealand businesses the ability to contain and clean-up a hazardous substance spill and protect themselves, staff, their community, and the environment.

A Hazero spill kit will give the user confidence that the contents are appropriate for the substances that’s spilled, and will work rapidly, safely and efficiently when deployed.

The contents of a Hazero spill kit will always be action-ready because they won’t break down or ‘go off’ when stored. NOTE: Always replace contents after they’re used for a spill.

Why are there different types and sizes of Hazero Spill Kits?

When we designed our spill kits, we took into consideration the different sizes, budgets, and needs of Kiwi businesses. Along with the variety of different hazardous liquids, the amounts that might be stored, and the level of risk for particular areas or locations.

Our range is divided into three levels/sizes. If you are at the beginning of your spill response journey we recommend Starter Spill Kits. If you’re looking for a high-level response kit that covers all the bases choose Premium Spill Kits. If you’re in the middle (you’re not alone), Everyday Spill Kits are the most popular.

All kit sizes are available in Oil Only, General Purpose, or Chemical.

Beyond the traditional spill kits, we also have a range of specialty spill kits – click here to view the range.

Which Spill Kit?

Making the correct choice of kit specific to your situation, is a very important decision. The difference between getting this right or wrong, can be the difference between whether a spill response is effective, and whether responders are kept safe during the process.
