Pratt 75L Hazchem spill kit, yellow bag
The Pratt 75L Hazchem Spill Kit (ESKH075) is an economy-class kit holding 75 litres of inert absorbent in a yellow bag. Yellow marks it for Hazchem duty, so the absorbents will not react with the acids, alkalis, coolants, paints, oils and fuels they soak up.
Key takeaways
- Yellow colour coding marks the Pratt 75L kit (ESKH075) as a Hazchem kit for hazardous chemicals such as acids and alkalis.
- The kit holds 75 litres of absorbent capacity and covers acids, alkalis, coolants, paints, oils and fuels.
- The absorbents are inert, so they will not react dangerously with the liquid they soak up.
- Grey kits cover general purpose liquids and oil-only kits are typically blue or white, so match the colour to the hazard.

What does the yellow colour coding on this spill kit mean?
Yellow colour coding marks a Hazchem kit, built for hazardous chemicals such as acids and alkalis. Grey marks a general purpose kit for most common liquids, and oil-only kits are typically blue or white. Matching the kit to the hazard means the absorbent suits the liquid it soaks up.
Spill kits are colour coded by the liquids they are intended for. Yellow = Hazchem (hazardous chemicals such as acids and alkalis), grey = general purpose (most common liquids), and oil-only kits are typically blue or white. Matching the kit to your hazard means the absorbent is appropriate and, in the case of Hazchem, made from inert materials that will not react dangerously with what they absorb.
How do you use a Hazchem spill kit safely on site?
Contain the spill first so it stops spreading and drains stay protected, then absorb it with the absorbent socks, pads or pillows a spill kit typically carries, then bag the waste and dispose of it according to the chemical's Safety Data Sheet and your local requirements. Restock the kit straight after use.

Contain first (stop the spread and protect drains), then absorb, then bag and dispose of waste according to the chemical's Safety Data Sheet and your local requirements. Restock the kit immediately after use so it is ready for the next incident.
