Spill Trays – An Overview

Spill Trays – An Overview

Spill Trays were added to the Controlco range around 8 years ago, following demand for spill containment in situations where decanting and transferring liquids is done using bottles, jugs, and smaller containers.

Having reliable secondary containment on hand will mitigate the impact of a spill, by ensuring liquids are kept safely contained, and prevented from having a much wider and damaging impact.

Secondary containment is also required by legislation for hazardous substances, once you reach a certain storage threshold.

Drain Protection – An Overview

Drain Protection – An Overview

What is Drain Protection?

Drain protection is a commonly used term for methods used to prevent hazardous substances getting into the stormwater system.

Most of us would probably have no idea the complexity of the drainage systems below us. However, in most urban areas, run-off from the drains we work around, eventually flows into rivers, lakes or into the sea.

In most areas of New Zealand, this run-off isn’t treated before it is discharged into these environments. Therefore, any hazardous substances that go down the stormwater drains at our worksites, could quickly cause serious harm to fish, animals, plant, and birdlife. Even small spills can have a wide and devastating impact.

Using effective drain protection will prevent contaminants from causing this level of harm and keep them within your area of control.
