Spill kit – mercury spill response

This mercury spill kit is a single use pouch designed for cleaning up small mercury spills in hospitals, laboratories, schools, workshops, warehouses, factories, chemical plants – wherever mercury is stored, handled and potentially spilled.

Mercury facts:

Mercury is a heavy silvery-white metal which is liquid at normal temperatures. Mercury will vaporise at normal room temperature. This in turn creates a risk of mercury exposure through inhalation. The risk increases as the temperature increases. This is one of the key reasons it’s important to clean up a mercury spill immediately.

• Contains a 200g sachet of mercury encapsulating powder that, when mixed with water, solidifies the spilled mercury into a solid mass.
• Use plastic scoop and pan to lift and place into disposal bags.
• This mercury spill kit also contains safety gear such as safety gloves and goggles to keep responders safe.
• Spill kit includes clear label and spill kit operating instructions.
• This spill kit is supplied in a single use pouch
