Spill kits for infection control and hazardous substances

Ever since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the awareness about hygiene, disinfection and the containment of biological risks has increased sharply in large parts of the world population. Through the mandatory use of face masks and hand sanitizers, we have all together started thinking about the use of protective equipment to help limit contaminations. While in the past this seemed to be primarily the field of government institutions or prevention advisors, an increasingly wide public has recognized that preventive means are the first step towards risk control. Dangers are, however, not only of biological origin. Just as well, one comes into contact with hazardous substances of chemical nature, both in the workplace in professional circumstances and at home during chores.

That is why it is important to always consciously handle biological or chemical substances, while adequately protecting oneself. It is a significant step forward to prevent the risk of incidents. After all, danger can take on many forms and things that might seem harmless at first, can have serious consequences in the longer term. An accident can occur quickly. Besides acting consciously and taking preventive measures, it is therefore important to be prepared for incidents as well. Intervening quickly and adequately if things go wrong after all, can in many cases limit damage or prevent it completely.

Thanks to a suitable spill kit, you will have everything readily available to neutralize and clean hazardous substances. With the spill kits of GV Health (developed in cooperation with the British NHS), distributed in Belgium by Novolab, we offer complete solutions for infection control or the cleaning of chemical substances on a small scale.

Infection control

Professional products for infection control help first aid workers to protect healthcare settings, shorten response times for emergency situations, minimize risks and improve hygiene and safety. Potentially dangerous biological substances can be neutralized and cleaned quickly and adequately without danger for the persons involved.

Chemical and cytotoxic cleaning kits

The risk of spillage of a wide range of chemicals for laboratories or medical applications has increased significantly. As, for example, cancer treatments have become more widespread with the treatment no longer being administered solely in specialized healthcare institutions, an risk increase occurs among healthcare providers, who have to handle cytotoxic drugs. Moreover, the arsenal of chemicals used in medical, dental and veterinary treatments, besides laboratory and other processes such as forensic research, has increased in recent years.

Storage, transport and distribution are all activities during which spills can occur, just like locations, such as nursing and care homes and even private homes. Just think, for example, of simple household chores for which maintenance products or fuels are used.

The infection control kits and chemical spill kits consist of suitable detergents, PPE, neutralizing and chemical agents, disinfectants and easy-to-follow instructions collected a convenient storage case, ready for use. Hence, they are also safe to use for non-specialist staff or first aid workers.

The spill kits can be used in among others:

Hospitals and laboratories
Ambulances and patient transport vehicles
Dental and veterinary practices
Nursing and care homes
Schools, offices, companies
Transport sector: on ships, planes and trains

Spill kits can be used for neutralization and cleaning of the following substances:
