Why Spill Training Matters
When a spill happens in the workplace, every second counts. Whether it’s a minor leak on a shop floor or a more serious incident in a warehouse, the response can make the difference between a quick, controlled clean-up and a costly environmental or safety incident. That’s why spill training is not just beneficial, it’s essential.
Our Spill Training, delivered with Ecospill’s experts, ensures employees understand what a spill is, how to assess the risks, and how to use the right products correctly. All Ecospill training levels:
- Level 1 Foundation Spill Training
- Level 2 First Responder to Liquid (BSIF Accredited)
- Level 3 Spill Training: Train the Trainer
- Level 4 Spill Training: Train the Trainer (Inc Wet Demo)
Equip delegates to identify hazards, select appropriate absorbents, and follow a simple, effective spill response plan. Each course highlights the environmental, financial, and reputational harm caused by unmanaged spills, emphasising why preparedness matters .
Spills aren’t always dramatic, but they are always significant, and having the right spill products ready on site, in the correct location can make all the difference.
Even a small release of oil can spread rapidly: as highlighted within training courses, just five litres of oil can cover an area the size of two football pitches. Without proper training, employees may unknowingly place themselves, the environment, and your organisation at risk.
Ecospill’s BSIF-accredited Level 2 training builds practical spill-response competence, including live internal and external demonstrations , while Levels 3 and 4 empower competent personnel to train colleagues, embedding a culture of safety within any organisation, giving any company that engages with training, true added value.
Spill training also supports compliance. UK legislation requires businesses to manage hazardous substances safely, and ISO 14001 highlights emergency spill response as a core element of any environmental management system. Trained employees respond faster, make better decisions, and help prevent incidents from escalating. By investing in Lyreco Spill Training delivered by Ecospill, you’re not just meeting a requirement: you’re protecting environment, industry and its people
