The Purpose of Drip Trays and Why they are Necessary

If you or your business handles liquids, oils, fuels or chemicals, the chances are you’ll require drip trays or spill trays.

Spill Trays are ideal for catching minor leaks and spills in the workplace and are great for storing smaller drums and containers. Compact and lightweight they can fit into small areas, are robust, easy to clean and compatible with most liquids.

Drip trays also provide temporary storage for containers and drums. They are useful for preventing drips and small leaks onto the ground, which may cause slips and ultimately damage the environment. They are used mainly in operational areas where chemicals and small amounts of fuel or oil are needed.

One particular place of work that requires drips trays are garages as they can be used under cars that are leaking oil or fuel and also for storing bottles or small containers that hold oil or fuel.

Spill trays are vital in laboratories for holding and storing bottles or receptacles containing chemicals. If any of the bottles are damaged or lids not been closed properly, the spill tray will catch the drips and leaks.

Other industries and businesses that require drip trays are food factories, large catering kitchens, factories, school art departments and garden centres.
Spill trays come in a variety of sizes and formats, some have grids and others are open.

Trays made for recycled material are also an option.
Spill trays will help you comply with health and safety regulations, keep your workplace clean and your workforce safe.
