I’ve Been There

So, when do you need a pan? D.J. Toal, VP of sales for Killarney Metals, shares an experience from his early labor years to illustrate the need for a drip pan:

"Imagine this, I have been there by the way, you are working on a head pulley of a belt conveyor. You're pulling apart a gearbox bearing plate over a working platform – in the air 30 feet that is -- open to the work area below with personnel traffic. You're hanging with safety straps under the box.

What happens when a wrench falls 30 feet onto the floor below? Stuff breaks. There is potential for injury, severe injury, to coworkers and other personnel when a wrench falls on their head from that height. When thinking safety pans start thinking broader. Just saying..."

So, would a pan help in this situation – you bet! Killarney Metals pans are useful for catching all kinds of Stuff. Safety involves catching more than oil and water; safety is what Killarney Metals Pans are all about. When you need to catch it, we have a pan for it. A Drip Pan is an essential tool.

OSHA Safety Concerns

Why we are here: To protect you and your business…

Our drain pans protect against wet spills that damage materials and equipment. A drip pan helps with avoiding the spread of flammable spills that cause fires, acid and caustic spills eat into surfaces or burn people. Our safety pans prevent volatile or toxic spills that spread hazardous pollutants into the air or surface waters. Organic waste spills contaminate and stink. With any liquid spill, people can slip and fall, injuring themselves.

From a practical standpoint, spill containment protects personnel and property, eases tasks and work flow, saves time and money. From a social standpoint, spill containment and cleanup reduces the negative impact on your community. From a legal standpoint, spill containment and cleanup are required by government safety and environmental regulations, which can impose severe and costly penalties for noncompliance.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that the floor of every workroom be maintained in a clean and, so far as possible, a dry condition. Where wet processes are used, drainage must be maintained and gratings, mats or raised platforms provided.

Major Spill Types

· Flammable such as gasoline, solvents, oils

· Acid such as pickling liquid, battery acid, acid drain cleaner

· Caustic such as liquid lye, caustic drain cleaner

· Oxidizing such as bleach

· Water-based such as food products, machining coolants, rinse water

· Contaminating such as sewage, vomit, urine, animal waste, blood

· Petroleum-based (often the same as flammable spills) such as oils and greases

· These categories can overlap. Cooking oil would be a flammable spill only, but lubricating oil might be both flammable and petroleum-based. Any spill can cause slip-and-fall risks.

· Choice of a containment and cleanup method must consider all factors.
