If these spills are not dealt with quickly, they can lead to water or ground contamination which involves the removal of large amounts of contaminated waste from the site, increasing costs and damages to the environment. In this course delegates will learn how to deal with small tier 1 spills utilising the spill kits that they have on-site.
