Emergency Spill Kit - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to identify the location of a spill response kit, which contains the equipment and materials needed to safely clean up hazardous or non-hazardous spills. These kits are designed to control and contain spills of substances such as oils, fuels, chemicals, or other liquids that could pose a safety, health, or environmental risk. The sign’s purpose is to ensure that in the event of a spill, employees can quickly locate the kit and take immediate action to minimise damage or danger.

The sign should be placed directly on or above the spill kit container so it’s unmistakably clear where the kit is stored. It can also be installed in visible areas near storage rooms, chemical handling zones, loading bays, workshops, laboratories, or factory floors—essentially anywhere spills are possible. If the kit is kept inside a cupboard or storage area, the sign should be on the cupboard door as well as in a nearby visible location to guide people there quickly.

Regulatory and safety guidelines often recommend or require that emergency equipment be clearly marked. The “Emergency Spill Kit” sign fulfills this requirement by providing a clear, instantly recognisable visual cue. This helps ensure that even people unfamiliar with the workplace layout—such as contractors or visitors—can identify spill response resources without delay. This visibility is critical when dealing with hazardous substances, as a fast response can prevent injuries, environmental harm, and costly downtime.

In short, the “Emergency Spill Kit” sign is a vital part of workplace safety and environmental protection. By clearly marking where spill control resources are kept, it supports a rapid, organized response in emergencies. Combined with proper training, it ensures that employees can act effectively and confidently to contain and clean up spills, protecting both people and the environment.
