In any workplace where liquids are used — be they oils, chemicals, water, or other substances —employees have to be prepared to clean up leaks and spills.

To make your spill cleanups quicker and safer, you can use any of a number of absorbent products, such as those available at spillpallet.com.my.

Two of the most commonly used absorbent pads products are Chemical absorbent pads and oil absorbent pad.

At first glance, absorbent pads and pillows don’t seem too different: A pillow is thicker than a pad, and slightly more expensive.

But those aren’t the only differences between these products —absorbent pads and pillows actually have very distinct uses. Knowing what those uses are can help you choose the right absorbent product to prepare for spills in your workplace.

• Absorbent pads come both individually (sold by the case) and in rolls. Supplied in large quantities, pads are geared toward all-purpose use — for wiping up or absorbing small leaks, placement in spill kits, and even to reduce slip and fall dangers.
