Spill Kits and Absorbents
Industrial spill kits and absorbent accessories for oil, chemical and general fluid control. Rapid deployment solutions to protect your site, staff and operations.
What does a spill kit contain and how is it used?
A spill kit typically includes absorbent pads, socks or booms for containment, granular absorbents, chemical resistant gloves, and disposal bags. Each item is designed to stop the spread, soak up liquids, and allow safe collection and disposal of the spill.
How do I choose the best spill kit for my workplace?
Select a spill kit based on the type of liquids you handle, the size of potential spills, and where they are likely to occur. Oil and fuel kits are ideal for hydrocarbons, chemical kits for corrosives, and general purpose kits for mixed fluids or water-based spills.
What are absorbent accessories and how are they used day-to-day?
Absorbent accessories such as pads, rolls, socks, and wipes manage daily leaks and drips. They prevent slippery surfaces and keep machinery areas clean. These products support regular maintenance rather than full emergency spill response.
Are spill kits legally required at all worksites?
Most industrial, automotive, and chemical-handling facilities are required under environmental and safety regulations to maintain spill kits on site. Even where not mandated, having proper spill control measures is considered best practice for workplace safety and compliance.
What is the difference between oil-only, chemical, and general-purpose absorbents?
Oil-only absorbents target hydrocarbons and repel water, chemical absorbents are designed for hazardous or corrosive liquids, and general-purpose absorbents soak up oils, coolants, and water-based fluids. Choosing the correct type ensures faster and safer spill control.
How often should spill kits and absorbent stock be checked?
Inspect spill kits regularly to ensure all items are present, undamaged, and within reach. Replace used or contaminated absorbents immediately, and review inventory after each incident or scheduled safety audit to maintain readiness.
Can using spill kits reduce clean-up time and operational costs?
Yes. Quick response using suitable absorbents reduces downtime, prevents slip hazards, limits contamination, and cuts clean-up labour and disposal costs. Keeping the right spill kit nearby ensures faster containment and safer working conditions.
Does TIDDOX offer customised spill kits and absorbent solutions?
Yes. TIDDOX can assess your worksite, liquid types, and risk zones to recommend suitable spill kits, absorbents, and restocking plans. We tailor solutions for transport fleets, workshops, mining sites, and industrial facilities to keep your operations compliant and spill ready.
Warehouse Consumables
Comprehensive warehouse consumables including wipes, absorbents, cleaning cloths and packaging support supplies. Reliable, high-volume solutions for logistics and storage operations from TIDDOX.
What are warehouse consumables and how are they different from inventory?
Warehouse consumables are items used to support daily operations, such as gloves, PPE, pallet wrap, stretch film, pallet covers, bin liners and cleaning materials. Unlike inventory, which is stored and sold, consumables are used internally to maintain safety, efficiency and hygiene.
Why is effective management of consumables important in a warehouse environment?
These products are used continuously throughout the day. If they run out, workflows can stall, hygiene standards can slip and safety risks can increase. Proper stock control ensures teams always have what they need without over-ordering or creating unnecessary waste.
What are examples of commonly used consumables in warehouses and logistics facilities?
Typical consumables include high visibility safety vests, disposable PPE, nitrile and reusable gloves, pallet wrap and covers for load security, and heavy-duty bin liners for waste control. Many sites also use paper hand towels and cleaning wipes to maintain workstation cleanliness.
How do I determine the right strength of bin liner or waste bag for my warehouse?
Match the liner to the weight and type of waste. Extra heavy-duty liners are recommended for warehouses that handle mixed waste, cardboard offcuts or packaging debris. Standard duty liners are suitable for light office and staff room waste.
How often should consumables be reviewed or reordered?
Regular stock review helps prevent shortages and over-storage. Many warehouses monitor usage weekly and set minimum reorder points. High turnover items such as gloves and pallet wrap may require scheduled standing orders to avoid delays during busy periods.
What is the benefit of using pallet wrap and pallet covers in storage and transport?
Pallet wrap stabilises loads and prevents product movement, while pallet covers protect goods from dust, humidity and damage during handling. Both help maintain product quality and reduce loss during transport or storage.
Are dispenser systems helpful in improving consumable control?
Yes. Wall-mounted glove dispensers, towel dispensers and PPE stations make supplies easy to access, reduce waste, improve hygiene and support faster restocking. Clear placement of dispensers also helps standardise workflow across warehouse zones.
Can TIDDOX provide custom supply solutions for warehouse consumables?
Absolutely. TIDDOX offers tailored supply plans, dispensing options, stock management advice and bulk carton formats to suit warehouse throughput, task types and layout.
Washroom Disposables
Premium washroom disposables including hand towels, toilet tissue, wipes and sanitary bins. Reliable, high-capacity supply for offices, hotels and industrial washrooms.
What are washroom disposables used for?
Washroom disposables include hand towels, toilet tissue, sanitary bin liners, surface wipes and bin liners designed for hygiene, comfort and maintenance efficiency in commercial washrooms.
Why are high-capacity dispensers important in busy washrooms?
High-capacity dispensers reduce refill frequency, help prevent roll shortages and avoid user inconvenience during peak periods, thereby improving hygiene and experience.
How can washroom disposables support hygiene and contagion control?
Using single-use or disposable products like paper towels and sanitising wipes reduces repeated use of items, avoids shared cloths and helps minimise germ transfer on surfaces and hand-drying stations.
What format should I use for toilet paper and hand towels in commercial washrooms?
For high-foot traffic areas use jumbo toilet rolls or folded towel systems with sensor or dispense control. For smaller washrooms standard rolls or V-fold hand towels may suffice. Choose formats that align with usage volume.
What is the role of wipes in washroom consumables?
Surface wipes in washrooms help clean high-touch areas such as door handles, dispensers and sink surrounds. They enable quick spot cleaning between scheduled cleans and help maintain presentation and hygiene.
How do I choose between reusable cloths and disposables in washrooms?
For hygiene-sensitive zones disposables are preferred because they avoid reuse issues. Reusable cloths require laundering, tracking and separate storage; whereas disposables can support faster turnover and simpler management.
Can TIDDOX help me set up a washroom consumables programme for my facility?
Yes. TIDDOX offers end-to-end support including product range selection, dispenser formats, stock planning and ongoing supply to ensure your washrooms remain hygienic, well-stocked and efficient.
Workplace Supplies
Professional workplace supplies for gloves, washroom disposables, safety gear and warehouse consumables. Strong, reliable and tailored for busy operations.
What types of workplace supplies does TIDDOX provide?
TIDDOX supplies gloves, protective clothing, PPE, washroom paper products, bin liners, glove dispensers, stretch wrap and general consumables for commercial, industrial and healthcare workplaces.
How do I choose the right gloves for different workplace tasks?
Consider the type of work being done. Chemical handling requires chemical resistant PVC or long cuff nitrile gloves. Mechanical work benefits from coated or leather gloves that improve grip and protect against abrasion. Hygiene tasks are best suited to disposable nitrile, latex or vinyl gloves.
Which disposable clothing items support hygiene and contamination control?
Common options include polypropylene or SMS coveralls, disposable lab coats, polyethylene aprons, sleeve covers, shoe covers and face masks. These items help protect clothing and prevent the spread of contaminants between work zones.
Why use dispensers for gloves, towels and other consumables?
Dispensers help keep supplies clean, visible and easy to reach. They reduce waste, encourage correct usage, support hygiene and make restocking faster and more controlled in busy workplaces.
What should I consider when selecting bin liners for different areas of a workplace?
Choose bin liners based on the weight and type of waste produced. Heavy duty or extra heavy duty liners are suited to workshops and warehouses, while standard liners are suitable for offices, staff rooms and hospitality areas.
Why are large hand towel rolls or centre feed rolls useful in high traffic areas?
Larger rolls last longer between refills, reduce interruptions during busy shifts and help maintain cleanliness in shared spaces. They also minimise packaging waste and simplify storage.
How can workplaces reduce supply costs without lowering product quality?
Using the correct product for the task, selecting bulk pack formats, placing dispensers in the right locations and reviewing usage patterns regularly can significantly reduce waste and prevent over-ordering.
How can I reduce supply costs without reducing product quality?
By selecting suitable pack formats, using dispensers effectively and planning stock levels, you can reduce waste and avoid over-ordering. We also offer bulk cartons and scheduled delivery programs for cost efficiency.
Can TIDDOX tailor supply plans for different sites or business units?
Yes. We work with manufacturing, logistics, hospitality and healthcare customers to design tailored supply plans that match usage volumes, storage capacity and operational flow. Multi-site arrangements and consolidated invoicing are available.
