Specialist Mercury Spillage Cleaning

We are available around the clock for customers in Faversham and can be on-site in a matter of hours in an emergency.

We use only the latest, industry-leading tools and equipment to carry out our chemical spill cleaning services in the Borough of Swale.

Mercury exists in three forms: elemental, inorganic, and organic. We will experience some mercury exposure throughout our lifetimes, but it is often never enough to cause harm. Organic — or methylmercury — is one of the most common ways we encounter mercury when we consume fish or poultry. However, when elemental mercury spills become a real risk, you could be in danger of inhaling high levels of toxic vapours.

When mercury spills, you must act quickly and ensure the safety of vulnerable people such as pregnant women, children, and the elderly. Evacuation should take priority over trying to contain and clean a spill yourself. Here at ICE Cleaning, our professional technicians can take over and decontaminate the area thoroughly.

Get in touch today to find out more about our cleaning services. Either call us at 0208 066 0360 to speak with a member of our professional support team or send your enquiry to enquiries@icecleaning.co.uk.

We are paving the way for chemical spill cleaning services in Faversham.

Our expert cleaners will maintain friendly and professional communication throughout the cleaning process. Before and after the cleaning, the mercury in the air must be tested to ensure the safety of you and anyone who may occupy the area.

We use industry-leading technology and chemical solutions to completely contain, clean, and decontaminate an affected area. If you have any questions about the process, our technicians will be happy to walk you through the steps. The size and severity of the spill could affect the solutions we use and the amount of time it may take.

Reduce consequences during a spill

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) suggests that workplaces have an emergency response to a spill. If your workplace handles, stores, or uses mercury in any way, then you must take steps to help reduce the consequences when a spill occurs in the workplace.

Have an emergency plan

  • Containing, controlling, and minimising dangerous effects on workers, the environment, and property I
  • mplement measures to protect workers and the environment
  • Actions that must be taken to control conditions and limit consequences
  • Assign roles and train staff in duties they will need to perform
  • Arrange how to inform local authorities and emergency services
  • Arrange the provision of assistance with off-site actions

Know how to act in the moment

  • Raise the alarm and call the appropriate emergency services and local authorities
  • Contain a spill if it is safe or you are qualified
  • Evacuate the premises

Evacuation protocols

  • Have an assembly area established
  • Collect ID badges
  • Identify any missing persons with a register
  • Inform emergency services of any missing persons

How does mercury affect us?

High levels of mercury exposure over a long period can inflict serious harm on our health. When you ingest or inhale mercury vapours, it becomes absorbed into the bloodstream to damage the most vital parts of your body.

The thyroid, lungs, kidneys, immune system, eyes, skin, and gums will become damaged before fatal intoxication occurs. Severe mercury poisoning could lead to irreversible illnesses such as Minamata disease or pink disease.

How to help phase out the use of mercury

The World Health Organisation champions the swift reduction of mercury in our lives. Many steps have been taken to achieve this goal, and there are a few ways you could help achieve this.

Switch to clean energy

Mercury is released into the environment when coal burns in factories, industrial boilers, household stoves and wood burners. Switch to alternative heating sources to help prevent this.

Reduce industrial processes

The mining of mercury has significantly reduced as mercury cannot be destroyed and is recycled infinitely. Non-toxic mining should be prioritised, and industrial processes that use mercury must have strict safety procedures.

Properly dispose of mercury products

If you have stopped purchasing mercury products but still find them in your household, then it is recommended that you dispose of them. You can do this by checking your local council's advice on hazardous waste disposal.
