We have a number of spill responder training courses aimed at professional spill response companies or businesses looking to develop an in-house spill response team.
A spill in the workplace can cause risk to human health, disrupt business operations, cause impact to property or the environment and can result in fines and reputational damage. Having trained spill responders on site to carry out emergency spill containment can help mitigate all of these risks.
So, if you make cheese, propellors for aeroplanes, manufacture shampoo or run a distribution centre then we have a spill training course for you!
All of our spill training courses are delivered under the Responder brand - a collaboration between our business and Darcy Spillcare, the UK’s leading manufacturer of spill kits and equipment. The combination of our practical expertise in responding to and managing spillages combined with Darcy’s 50+ years manufacturing spill equipment creates a compelling and unique offering.
““The course was upbeat and very informative. The trainer showed a great deal of knowledge on the subject and was brilliant in engaging the trainees. The course content was substantial and relevant to hazardous substances on site here at our organisation.
The mixture of theory and practical training was well received and allowed trainees to fully understand he use of spill kit contents and their applications. Highly recommend this course for all organisations for awareness not just for spill responders but general employees””
We believe you learn best by doing, so all of our Spill Response courses have a significant hands-on element to them. Our ISAS Accredited spill training courses are delivered by our accredited spill managers and consultants all of whom are current practitioners of spillage response.

Meet the Trainers

A spill in the workplace may present a health and safety risk to staff, visitors or contractors working on site. The material which has been spilt may have hazardous properties and create an unpleasant or unsafe working environment; there may be a risk of staff inhaling vapours or coming into physical contact with a spilt material.
A spill may sometimes have an impact on the fabric of a building or enter drainage systems and damage the aquatic environment.
A spill can result in business interruption, reputational damage and costly clean-up.
