Spill Training DVD

Course Name: Introduction to spill kits

Purpose and reason why: This DVD training course is designed to give participants an introduction to the spill kit. It is an induction-style DVD program aimed simply to take the 'mystery' away from spill kits located around the work site.

The DVD introduces participants to the different types of spill kits and shows how to identify which kit is used in what spill situation.

• A simple flow chart is used to explain the steps that should be followed in a spill clean up situation.
• Each tool within the kit is explained and shown in use within several spill events.
• Reporting and restocking is discussed.
• A short test and related answers are provided for the DVD administrator to use. Also included on the DVD is a printable flow chart which we recommend distributing to each student at the start of the DVD.
• Also included for the administrator is a printable cerificate template (PDF). This can be issued to participants that pass the test.

At the end of the training session participants will be able to:

1. Identify the type and purpose of equipment used in a typical spill kit.
2. Describe the appropriate action in the event of a minor spill.
