{"title":"Spill Kits","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSpill Kits for safer turfcare and grounds work\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpill Kits are a small part of the store cupboard, but they do a big job on site. In sports turf and grounds management, we handle liquids every week: line marking materials, liquid fertiliser, wetting agents, tank mixes, cleaning products and other maintenance fluids. A quick response to a leak or knock-over protects staff, keeps hard surfaces safe, and helps stop contamination reaching drains, rootzones or surrounding landscaped areas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor a groundsperson, greenkeeper or contractor, a good spill kit is about control and speed. You want absorbent pads, absorbent socks, disposal bags and clear personal protection ready to go as soon as an accident happens. That matters in a machinery shed, a chemical store, a sprayer filling point or the back of a van moving between football, rugby, cricket and golf sites. A chemical spill kit helps you contain the problem early; that keeps disruption down and supports a safer working routine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpill Kits also sit within a wider safety setup. They work best alongside \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pitchcare.com\/collections\/ppe-safety-equipment-and-apparel\" title=\"PPE \u0026amp; Safety\"\u003ePPE \u0026amp; Safety\u003c\/a\u003e, proper \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pitchcare.com\/collections\/personal-protective-equipment\" title=\"Personal Protective Equipment\"\u003ePersonal Protective Equipment\u003c\/a\u003e and clear \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pitchcare.com\/collections\/chemical-storage-signage\" title=\"Chemical Storage \u0026amp; Signage\"\u003eChemical Storage \u0026amp; Signage\u003c\/a\u003e. That joined-up approach is what most professional teams aim for: prevent the incident where possible, then manage it fast and correctly if it does happen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eWhy chemical spill kits matter on sports surfaces\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003ePresentation quality matters, but safe working matters just as much. A spill near a store, yard or washdown point can create slip risk, stain hard surfaces, damage surrounding vegetation and turn into a reporting issue if liquids move off target. On a busy site with fixtures, school use or contractor traffic, a spill can also block access and slow the day’s programme.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is why Spill Kits are relevant well beyond pesticide handling. You might need one when decanting line marking concentrate, moving liquid turf products, cleaning out application equipment or dealing with leaks around maintenance compounds. Even on smaller clubs and training grounds, a chemical spill kit supports good housekeeping and helps your team respond in a measured way rather than improvising with loose absorbent material and bin bags.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom a technical point of view, most spill response is about containment first and clean-up second. Absorbent socks help stop liquid spreading; pads and loose absorbents lift material from the surface; disposal materials help keep waste contained until it can be handled correctly. The right response protects concrete, asphalt and storage areas, but it also helps shield nearby turf from unwanted chemical contact. That is a practical part of integrated turf management, not a box-ticking exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eChoosing the right spill kit for the job\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen you choose Spill Kits, think about three things: location, likely liquid type and spill size. A small kit makes sense in a van, utility vehicle or compact store where you need immediate response. A larger chemical spill kit is more suitable for fixed points such as spray stores, mixing areas and maintenance depots where volumes are greater and refill speed matters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is also worth checking the contents rather than looking only at capacity. In practice, absorbent pads, absorbent socks, gloves, goggles and waste bags all make a difference. Compatibility matters too. In grounds maintenance, products vary widely in formulation, so we always recommend matching the kit to the environment and reading site risk assessments and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) guidance before work starts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf your team uses application equipment regularly, Spill Kits should be kept close to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pitchcare.com\/collections\/sprayers-spraying-equipment\" title=\"Knapsacks, Sprayers \u0026amp; Equipment\"\u003eKnapsacks, Sprayers \u0026amp; Equipment\u003c\/a\u003e and topped up as part of routine checks. It also makes sense to keep supporting items from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pitchcare.com\/collections\/spraying-accessories\" title=\"Spraying Accessories\"\u003eSpraying Accessories\u003c\/a\u003e nearby, especially where filling, transfer and washout are common tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eHow professionals use spill kits in a grounds management programme\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn a well-run site, spill response is built into the normal workflow. Before products are mixed or applied, staff check storage, PPE, labels, washdown space and emergency materials. During work, the spill kit stays close by, not buried at the back of the shed. After the task, equipment is cleaned properly, wastes are contained and the area is left tidy. That is how Spill Kits support a realistic grounds management programme.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere is a strong link here with other maintenance categories. A team using \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pitchcare.com\/collections\/tank-cleaners\" title=\"Tank Cleaner\"\u003eTank Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e after spraying, or carrying out routine checks with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pitchcare.com\/collections\/grounds-management\" title=\"Grounds Management Tools\"\u003eGrounds Management Tools\u003c\/a\u003e, is usually also the team that keeps spill response sharp. If a washdown or yard area is exposed to standing water, nearby access to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pitchcare.com\/collections\/water-removal\" title=\"Water Removal\"\u003eWater Removal\u003c\/a\u003e equipment can also help keep the workspace safer and more manageable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat bigger picture matters because sports turf maintenance is rarely one isolated task. You might move from spraying to line marking, then on to hand work, irrigation checks or post-match clean-up. Good spill control protects staff, supports compliance, and helps preserve grass health by reducing the chance of non-target contamination around the working area.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSeasonal use through the year\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpill Kits are useful all year, but the pressure points change with the season. In spring and summer, product handling often increases as spraying, line marking and growth management pick up. In autumn, renovation and end-of-season work can mean more movement of liquids and more vehicle traffic around compounds. In winter, wetter yards and tighter storage areas make fast containment especially valuable because liquids spread quickly across cold, damp hard surfaces. Seasonality is not about the kit changing; it is about being ready when workload and site pressure increase.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003ePractical, professional protection for everyday work\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhether you manage a stadium, school pitch, golf facility, estate or contractor fleet, Spill Kits are a sensible part of safe operations. They help you respond quickly, protect the working area and keep maintenance moving with less fuss. For us, that is the key point: a chemical spill kit is not just an emergency extra; it is part of doing everyday turfcare properly, with cleaner workflows, better site discipline and more confidence when products are handled on busy sports surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chemical-spill-kits","title":"Chemical Spill Kits","description":"\u003ch2\u003eChemical Spill Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e15 \u0026amp; 30 Litre Chemical Spill Kits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to follow instructions included in the kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in an easy access clip close carrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete spill kit designed for spills up to 20litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to absorb and retain all industrial liquids, including aggressive chemicals and oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit is small enough to be stored almost anywhere, van and lorry cabs, workbenches, confined storage areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to recognise yellow chemical colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit includes waste disposal bags and cable ties for an efficient disposal of used product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 Litre Kit contains: 18 pads, 8 heavy duty pads 50cm x 40cm, 3 socks 7.5cm x 1.2M, 3 cable ties, 3 heavy duty bags, 1 clip closed bag \u0026amp; 1 instruction sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WBT","offers":[{"title":"30L","offer_id":40957057630251,"sku":"212129","price":29.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"15L","offer_id":40957057663019,"sku":"212128","price":18.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/7359\/5435\/files\/Chemical-Spill-Kit-30-Ltr-451826_090c617e-2990-4569-a443-99cb10528feb.jpg?v=1701106803"}],"url":"https:\/\/checkout.pitchcare.com\/collections\/spill-kits.oembed","provider":"Pitchcare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
