Airports, hangars, and aircraft maintenance facilities operate in dynamic environments where precision and safety are highly important. The aviation industry is uniquely exposed to spill risks due to the frequent handling of aviation fuel, hydraulic fluids, de-icing chemicals, and other hazardous substances. Effective spill preparedness is essential to maintain safe operations and ensure environmental and workplace safety compliance.
At Ecospill, we specialise in providing the aviation industry with tailored spill containment solutions, equipping businesses in this industry with the tools they need to manage spill risks efficiently and responsibly.
Common Spill Risks in the Aviation Industry
The aviation industry faces significant spill risks associated with its specific operations. Aircraft refuelling involves handling large volumes of aviation fuel, increasing the potential for leaks or spills. Aircraft servicing and repairs often use oils, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids that can spill during transfer or application, and airport hangars store hazardous materials like de-icing agents, solvents, and cleaning chemicals that pose a risk of accidental spills.
Unmanaged spills in aviation sectors can lead to contamination of surrounding soil, groundwater, and local ecosystems, severely damaging the environment, as well as delays in flight schedules due to clean-up efforts and safety concerns. Non-compliance with workplace safety and environmental compliance regulations results in fines and reputational damage, so it’s important to ensure you and your workers are equipped to handle hazardous spills effectively.
