Spill berms are flexible barriers used to contain spills in a variety of industrial and commercial settings, including warehouses, loading docks, and transportation areas. These berms are ideal for protecting the environment and workspaces by containing oils, chemicals, and other hazardous liquids. Spill berms are typically made from durable, chemical-resistant materials like PVC or polyurethane, and they are designed to be easily deployed around spill areas, tanks, or containers. They are often used in outdoor environments where spills can occur during the storage or transportation of hazardous substances. Spill berms meet regulatory standards such as EPA and SASO 5000 to ensure that they provide adequate containment and protection against hazardous spills.
