Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) state that hospitals must have effective chemical spill management measures in place to protect those at risk of exposure. Part of this is the ability to respond to a spill and deal with it quickly and efficiently, minimising the risk.

In a busy and high risk environment such as a hospital, chemical spills can occur at any time, and for a variety of reasons – from human error to mechanical breakdown. If a spill does happen, it puts visitors, staff and patients at risk of exposure, and may even result in closure of your department, meaning you cannot deliver your service to those who need it.
