Suomi Oil Drum Spill Containment – Requirements and Regulations for Safe Spill Management
Oil drums need to be stored in a way that prevents leaks and spills from reaching the ground, drains or stormwater systems. This can be prevented by using secondary containment. Secondary containment is a sealed collection area designed to contain the oil if a drum starts to leak or is damaged. This reduces the risk of environmental damage, costly clean-up and disruptions to operations.
The containment should have sufficient capacity for the entire volume of the largest container plus at least 10 percent of the remaining stored volume. Additional requirements may vary depending on the contents, location and local regulations. Always check the requirements that apply to the specific operation.

Mobile Spill Containment
When a permanent oil room is not available or the workspace changes, a mobile spill containment trolley can be a flexible alternative. Eurolube’s spill containment trolley, article 13760, is designed for safe and convenient handling of oil drums in workshops and industrial environments. It has a containment capacity of 220 litres and can therefore hold the entire contents of a 208-litre drum. It meets regulatory requirements for secondary containment when storing environmentally hazardous liquids. Ideal for field service in construction, mining, marine applications and other environmentally sensitive environments.
The spill containment trolley:
• Provides protection in the event of leaks or damage to the drum
• Can be moved wherever it is needed
• Contributes to a safer workplace
• Can be equipped with a pump, meter and hose reel
Reduce risks during storage and handling The mobile design makes it easy to adapt the solution if the drum or workstation needs to be moved. A drum can be damaged by impact, during handling or by other unforeseen events. Spill containment helps contain the spill and reduces the risk of oil spreading further. When lifting and moving drums, the correct equipment should also be used. A drum lifter for upright oil drums helps ensure safer handling and reduces the risk of damage to the drum and injury to personnel.
