Mercury Spill Kits

Printer Friendly Version

If mercury will continue to be used in your school-in the classroom, the nurse's office or elsewhere-make sure that you are prepared for a spill. That means having mercury spill kits in each room where mercury is used and training staff so they know how to use them.

Although we do not recommend any particular brand or vendor of spill kits, it is important that school officials know what the options are. For that reason, we provide the following link to an online catalog, which includes a variety of mercury spill kits. Following is a list of companies that provide mercury spill kits and their telephone numbers from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality mercury web site.
