Correct clean-up

Any large spillages should be contained and collected with non-combustible absorbent materials such as sand or earth and disposed of properly as hazardous waste.

All PPE, apart from goggles, should be disposed of in appropriate hazardous waste collection bins. Scrapings from your tarpaulin can be emptied into an old tin and disposed of likewise. Dirty water from washing down the hull should be disposed of in bunded catchment drains. Please don’t casually discard this in a hedgerow or scatter it across the boatyard as the biocides will leach into the groundwater.

Don’t take any contaminated equipment, half-used tins of paint or soiled PPE off-site. In particular, don’t retain
