Introduction
As one of our environmental training courses available in Brisbane, Spill Kit Training will help you Identify and minimise environmental hazards on site (MSMENV172). It is relevant if you work in medium to high risk industries. The Spill Kit training is thus focused on the key elements of identifying a hazard and its risk as well as how to address site-based spills (RIIRIS202E); thus the commonly known course name!
Clearly, if you are working in a higher risk environment, you need to identify a spill that may be hazardous. You will also need to have some on-site safety resources to be able to safely handle spills.
Spill Kit Training, consisting of both the Identify and Minimise Environmental Hazards as well as responding to Site Based Spills is your go-to training course – where we will help you in your preparations to recognise, report, and potentially be a first responder to potentially hazardous spill incidents.

MSMENV172 - Identify and Minimise Environmental Hazards | RIIRIS202E - Respond to Site Based Spills
Training Prerequisites
We deliver Spill Kit Training in two parts; Firstly, you will learn about environmental hazards and how your individual or your and other teams’ work activities can impact the environment. Once you understand ways risks and hazards happen, you can better understanding how you, your team and organisation can manage and minimise associated risks.
You will learn how materials enter the environment, about emergency plans (ERP’s), safety data sheets & personal protective equipment (PPE). Then you will learn to recognise work hazards such as HAZCHEM gaining hands-on exposure using spill kits & relevant emergency response equipment.
Throughout the Harness course our trainers will cover off the the topics ensuring a comprehensive understanding of both practical and theoretical elements. Course structure is based around the Australian Government teaching requirements – but significantly enhanced with our methodology and selection of instructors.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is necessary training to comply with environmental protection regulations relevant to the nature of work you and/or your organisation performs – as well as WHS Legislation.
There are many hazards, but when it comes to work sites, common ones include Air contaminants, Toxic waste and Radiation, Microorganisms and some plants, pesticides, Heavy metals or Chemicals.
While the course covers hazardous materials- commonly referred to as HAZMAT, this course is not purely focused on HAZMAT. Further units of competency are involved in HAZMAT specific training including – PUAFIR306 – Identify, detect and monitor hazardous materials at an incident, PUAFIR324 – Render hazardous materials incidents safe. Contact us to find out more information.
