SPEAKMAN CAP01 Chemical Absorbent Pad

The CAP01 is a yellow absorbent pad marketed for compatible chemical spills. Its flat format is useful when the response assessment calls for an appropriate chemical absorbent.

Format and capacity

SPEAKMAN CAP01 Chemical Absorbent Pad: Model: CAP01. Material: Polypropylene. Colour: Yellow. Listed size: 40 × 50 cm. Supply quantity: Confirm with quotation.

The supplier lists a hundred-pad carton without making the displayed price unit sufficiently clear. Confirm the order quantity and chemical compatibility by quotation. Yellow colour does not establish resistance to every acid, alkali or unknown liquid, and absorption does not neutralise the hazard.

Selecting the right equipment

Base the selection on the substance, likely quantity and working location. Check the current safety data sheet and the equipment compatibility information. A colour code or broad product name is a useful identifier, but it is not a substitute for confirming the actual liquid and the response method.

Compare complementary spill kits and containment equipment when planning storage and response points. Select suitable personal protective equipment for the task and the people assigned to it. The pictured assortment or container is representative; the stated supply unit and agreed contents list determine the order.

Readiness and care

Store unused material away from chemicals and verify its condition before issue. Keep compatible disposal packaging available. Once contaminated, the absorbent must be handled according to the hazards of the liquid; its dry appearance or colour does not determine whether it is safe.

Keep inspection and replenishment details with the workplace response plan. Consult the HSE guidance on controlling hazardous substances when reviewing the wider control arrangements. Browse the full safety equipment range for the other items identified by the site assessment.
