Benefits of Drip Trays and Collection Trays
Drip trays are an essential part of any business where hazardous or toxic substances are used. As an example, the chemical industry or the pharmaceutical industry, where acids, bases and other chemicals are used. Drip trays are indispensable in garages, where oil is often used. Not only to prevent the workshop from becoming dirty, but they also ensure that no harmful substances are released into circulation and damage the environment.
Drip trays are used in storage areas and warehouses, as well as during transport where the risk of leakage is extra high. Logically, companies in the logistics sector often use collection bins when transporting liquids by truck or other means of transport. Using a drip tray can prevent health risks for employees, prevent damage to a building and equipment, as well as save time and money on cleaning costs.
Law on the storage of hazardous substances
In the Netherlands, it is laid down by law how organizations must deal with hazardous substances. The storage of chemicals and other substances naturally entails risks for people and the environment. These rules regarding the storage of hazardous substances are laid down in various Dutch laws. The Environmental Management Act and the General Provisions for Environmental Law are examples of these regulations. When a company works with certain substances, they must be handled as described in these laws. For example, hazardous liquids in packaging must be placed on a drip tray or a receptacle. These bins must also comply with these regulations.
