In industrial and commercial environments, spills are an expected part of operations — but they don’t need to compromise safety, productivity, or environmental standards. Whether dealing with oil, chemicals, or water-based liquids, unmanaged spills can introduce serious risks, disrupt workflow, and create compliance challenges. With the right systems and response strategies in place, these incidents can be effectively contained and mitigated, ensuring your operations remain safe, efficient, and compliant.
At Akuna, we provide a comprehensive range of spill control products designed to help you respond quickly, cleanly, and safely, minimising risk and downtime.
WHY SPILL CONTROL MATTERS
Spills can lead to:
- Slips, trips, and falls – among the most common workplace injuries
- Chemical exposure – putting workers’ health at risk
- Environmental damage – risking fines and reputational harm
- Operational downtime – costing time and money
Having the right spill response tools in hand isn’t just best practice—it’s a safety essential. Akuna’s solutions are engineered to help you prevent, contain, and clean up spills with confidence and compliance.
AKUNA’S SPILL CONTROL PRODUCT LINE UP
1. Absorbents: Pads, rolls, socks, pillows, and booms—for everything from minor leaks to large-scale spills
- Oil-only absorbents – Repel water and absorb hydrocarbons like fuel, diesel, and lubricants. Ideal for marine, transport, and industrial use
- Universal absorbents – Effective for oil- and water-based spills, including coolants and solvents
- Chemical absorbents – Specifically designed for aggressive liquids like acids and caustics, perfect for labs and chemical handling zones
Tip: Place absorbents near high-risk areas—machinery, fuel storage, and loading bays—for immediate access when needed.
2. Floor Sweep – Clean Beyond the Surface
Once the main spill is absorbed, residual liquid and fine particles can remain. That’s where floor sweep comes in:
- Easy to apply granular format
- Non-toxic and eco-friendly
- Highly absorbent for oils, coolants, and solvents
Perfect for maintenance crews doing quick clean-ups between shifts or after servicing machinery.
3. Spill Kits
Every spill response plan needs a spill kit. Akuna’s kits are thoughtfully packed to give your team everything they need on the spot:
- Oil Spill Kits – for fuel and hydrocarbon spills
- Chemical Spill Kits – for hazardous and reactive substances
- General Purpose Kits – for everyday spills in workshops, warehouses, and offices
Typical kit includes:
- Absorbent pads, booms, wipes
- Disposal bags
Portable, easy to store, and ready to go—our kits ensure your team is prepared for anything.
Compliance Tip: Regulatory bodies like WHS often require spill kits in areas where hazardous materials are stored or handled.
4. Spill Mats – Preventative Protection That Works
Stop a spill before it starts. AKuna’s spill mats are a proactive solution to catch leaks and drips:
- Chemical-resistant and highly durable
- Available in a range of sizes and absorbency levels
- Ideal under drums, vehicles, and leaky equipment
Use them in storage areas, workshops, and fuel depots to maintain clean, safe, and compliant worksites.
5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – Protect Your People
No spill response is complete without PPE. AKuna supplies quality protective gear to keep workers safe during clean-ups:
- Chemical-resistant gloves – for safe handling of hazardous substances
- Safety goggles and face shields – for splash protection
- Coveralls and aprons – to shield against spills and contaminants
- Respirators and masks – for airborne or vapour hazards
Safety Tip: Always train staff on how to use PPE correctly and include it in your spill response procedures.
