Description
Wholesale Safety Storage Australia (WSSA) supply spill kits for labs and healthcare that are specifically designed for the healthcare industry and for any liquids that may commonly be spilled in laboratories or medical facilities.
Spill kits for lab and healthcare have been designed to specifically address spills in laboratories or medical facilities. Such spills occurring in the healthcare industry may include body fluids, biohazard, cytotoxic, or mercury spills.
Due to their specific nature, healthcare spill kits are usually smaller than their industrial counterparts. Common lab spills such as hydrofluoric acid or mercury often require a specialised spill response. Any other chemicals in a lab setting can be cleaned safely with a regular hazchem spill kit. However, it is always recommended to check your Safety Data Sheet in handling these spilt chemicals.
Each laboratory is unique and uses a unique composition of chemicals, both hazardous and non-hazardous, in various states. Therefore, laboratories handling these chemicals as well as bio-hazardous materials should have the appropriate supplies and equipment on hand for managing accidental spills involving such chemicals and materials.
Spill kits are containers equipped with equipment used to clean up hazardous materials and chemicals spilled. A spill kit is a set of well-organised equipment that has been specifically designed to deal with cleaning up substances, render it harmless, and to dispose of it safely.

10 Small Spills Mercury Spill Response
Mercury is a heavy silvery-white metal at normal temperatures. Mercury vaporises at normal room temperatures, which creates a risk of mercury exposure through inhalation.
This risk is increased as the temperature increases. This is one of the prime reasons why it is important to clean up a mercury spill immediately.
Our mercury spill kit is designed to clean up to 10 small spills. This kit is suitable for hospitals, laboratories, and schools to cite some, wherever mercury is stored, handled, and can potentially be spilled.
The mercury spill kit includes 10 mercury encapsulating powder in 10 gm sachets each. The powder turns the spilled mercury into a solidified mass when mixed with water.
The responder can then efficiently and quickly retrieve the spill and dispose of it accordingly and safely with the use of the included plastic scoop and pan for easy placement into the included disposal bag.
Also included in the kit are safety gear such as PVC gloves, face masks, and goggles to keep responders safe. The spill kit also include labels and operating instructions.

Cytotoxic drugs are widely used in the treatment of cancers as well as other diseases. Cytotoxic drugs are sometimes also known as antineoplastics, describes a group of medicines that are toxic to cells, which prevents their replication or growth. The toxicity of cytotoxic drugs presents a significant risk to those who handle them.

Mercury Spill Kit with Mercsorb Amalgamation Powder
One of the key reason why it is important to immediately clean up mercury spills is the risk of inhalation. This is due to the fact that mercury vaporises at room temperature. The risk in handling the heavy, silvery-white liquid metal increases as the ambient temperature rises.

This makes it easy for the responder to efficiently and quickly retrieve the spill and dispose of it accordingly. Included in the kit is a plastic scoop and pan to lift and place the solidified spill into the included disposal bags.
