Qualified Oil Spill Cleaning Services

We’re available around the clock for customers in Westerham and can be on-site in under an hour in the event of an emergency.

We’re a local, reliable cleaning company based in the Southeast of England

Without proper safety and health measures enforced, working in an industrial setting where you handle or carry oil tanks could be dangerous. Risk assessments and inspections on oil transportation are two strategies to prevent a leak at work and keep your staff safe.

Customer safety is our primary focus at ICE Cleaning, and we realise the potential hazards that an oil spill at work may present. When oil has contaminated the ground, the water, or a hard surface, we can help. This includes removing petrol, diesel, or hydraulic oil. Our highly skilled personnel will remove any residue the oil leaves behind thanks to their significant knowledge of industrial cleaning.

Our oil spill cleaning experts are available for clients across the nation, including Westerham.

Our professionals are prepared to handle dangerous oil spills by employing industrial-grade equipment to contain, remove, and treat the oil. We conduct a survey to determine the extent and severity of the issue to guarantee complete safety and comprehend how to navigate the workplace.

We use chemicals to clean the damaged area and drain any residual oil. Before we conclude using the TORIK Cleaning system, this technique might be required more than once. Our skilled cleaners will remain on-site if you are unsatisfied with the outcome.

The risks of an oil spill in the workplace

If there is an oil leak, all workers will be at risk of numerous risks that may result in severe injuries or life-long illnesses. You can detect these hazards early by regularly doing a spill risk assessment and getting input from your staff on the workplace's current health and safety requirements.

Environmental impact

Because drains in the warehouse might connect to nearby waterways, oil tanks at work could negatively impact the environment. Local water supplies can get polluted in the case of an accident at work. You should try to contain the oil flow and cover nearby drains.

Fire risk

When oil encounters an open flame or other heat sources, it quickly ignites. If employees smoke after touching oil, they risk experiencing severe burns. Installing industrial-grade tanks away from open flames or other heat sources will lessen the fire risk. Workers should thoroughly wash their hands before eating, drinking, or smoking.

Health and welfare

The spill severity and how one encounters it may affect how symptoms develop in a person. Whether inhaled, ingested, or touched, oil exposure can negatively affect your health, increasing the risk of cancer and dermatitis.

Physical injuries

A slip-and-fall accident is possible if oil spills onto a surface that employees touch or walk on. Hot oil spills may cause the skin to burn and blister. You should have absorbent mats or pads to mop up excessive oil or stop a leak near oil tanks and barrels.

Who is responsible for an oil spill at work?

If your business deals with handling, storing, or transporting oil substances that have the potential to pollute an area, you have a responsibility to ensure this does not happen. You are legally obligated to comply with environmental, health and safety laws on all sites you operate on. Refusing to follow these regulations could land you in legal trouble, fines, and reputational damage.

In the event of a spill due to your negligence, or poor emergency response, you may face criminal prosecution and legal claims from employees. Ensure you prioritise any actions that could prevent a spill, and always keep your workplace safe.

Preventing an oil spill in the workplace

During an oil spill, employees could suffer from serious injuries or long-term sickness. You might be able to see these hazards before they become critical by conducting frequent risk assessments and asking your staff for feedback on the existing workplace health and safety rules. A spill can be avoided by taking these actions:

  • Update your staff with the latest health and safety laws, and workplace guidelines for using, storing, and transporting oil
  • Ensure your staff know how to respond in an emergency with drills and training
  • Take staff feedback during meetings or training to determine the best way to improve health and safety
  • Ensure there are spill kits and PPE on-site
  • Provide staff with absorbent mats, mesh baskets, and filter bags to tackle oil spills
  • Conduct a spill risk assessment annually
  • Determine which area is most at risk of a spill by reviewing the spill history
  • Assess all equipment and machinery that uses oil regularly
  • Ensure that any oil-transporting vehicles are not carrying leaking oil barrels
