Why Start With a Spill Risk Assessment & What Does it Cover?
In partnership with Ecospill, Lyreco Intersafe offers a no-obligation spill risk assessment designed to give you a clear, expert view of how well your site is prepared to prevent and manage spills.
A spill risk assessment involves your Lyreco Intersafe Safety Specialist as well as an Ecospill specialist visiting your site to review all working areas where liquids are stored, handled or could potentially be released.
This is not a generic checklist. It is a detailed, practical assessment of your real working environment, your people and your processes.
A spill risk assessment helps you take control before issues arise, rather than reacting after the event.
It is particularly valuable for organisations working towards or maintaining ISO14001 or similar environmental management standards, ensuring your processes align with current best practice and regulatory expectations.
Following the visit, you will receive a clear written report that highlights:
-
- Any non-compliance in your fluid management systems
-
- Potential spill, flood and environmental risks
-
- Areas for improvement across your site
-
- Recommended actions, from product selection to training
This gives you a straightforward, actionable plan to improve safety, compliance and operational resilience. This will play a key role in your spill response plan.
Without the right controls in place, spills can lead to:
- Workplace accidents and injury
- Operational downtime and disruption
- Environmental damage and clean-up costs
- Compliance risks and potential fines
More than products
Having the right products is essential, but knowing how to use it is just as important.
That is why your spill risk assessment can also lead to structured spill response training, helping your team:
- Understand how to safely use spill control products
- Follow a clear and effective response plan
- Reduce environmental impact from incidents
The result is a workforce that is confident, prepared and able to act quickly when it matters most.
