What Are Hazchem Absorbent Booms & Socks?
Hazchem absorbent booms and socks — also known as chemical absorbent socks, hazardous liquid absorbent booms, acid and alkali absorbent barriers, or chemical spill containment socks — are specialised tubular absorbents designed for containing and absorbing aggressive chemical spills. Made from chemical‑resistant materials, they are suitable for acids, bases, corrosives and unknown liquids. Hazchem booms and socks are used to isolate spill zones, prevent spread, and support WHS‑compliant response in laboratories, chemical storage areas, manufacturing plants and industrial sites.

Emergency Spill Response: The 5 C’s Guide
- CONTROL the Source & Risk: Ensure appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is donned before approaching any hazardous release. If safe to do so, immediately mitigate the source by closing valves, uprighting damaged containers, or applying emergency plugging to stop further flow.
- CONTAIN the Spread: Deploy appropriate containment barriers, socks, or bunding around the perimeter of the spill to prevent fluid migration. Prioritise blocking access to stormwater drains, unsealed ground, and pedestrian thoroughfares.
- COMMUNICATE the Hazard: Alert nearby personnel, restrict site access around the affected zone, and notify your WHS supervisor or site emergency warden in accordance with facility safety protocols.
- CLEAN UP the Liquid: Apply matching loose absorbents, pads, or pillows directly onto the pooled liquid to capture, bind, and neutralize residues. Safely sweep up saturated materials and transfer all contaminated waste into certified disposal bags for secure handling.
- CHECK & Restock: Inspect the area thoroughly to ensure no residual hazards or slip risks remain. Seal and dispose of waste in compliance with local environmental regulations, and immediately restock equipment to maintain full operational readiness.
