Why are oil absorbent pads ideal for shop sop?

First let’s talk about the word “sop” in reference to oil absorbent pads.  Often the word “sop” conjures up images of someone eating a piece of bread that has absorbed some amazing sauce.  However, in our situation not only does “sop” refer to an oil absorbent pad that will quickly soak up liquid hydrocarbon materials it also refers to “standard operating procedures” for all “shops”.

Because shops are an area where manufacturing, repairs and fabrication activities occur, physical hazards from tools and machinery can present dangers to personnel working in those areas.  Oil absorbent pads are as handy has a Kleenex tissues when it comes to hazards created by an oil spill or leak.  That’s why quality oil absorbent pads should be part of standard operating procedures for any shop, large or small.

Shop safety is critical to any company, large or small.  Accident prevention programs should include the use of quality products that will quickly help remedy a problem situation.  Quality oil absorbent pads are super absorbent and work wonders on both high-volume leaks and spills and everyday maintenance.

If you are looking to achieve the highest quality work from your shop personnel, then the use of quality oil absorbent pads should be part of the standard operating procedures in your safety program.  When you combine man, machine and quality materials, superior work can be produced on time, safely and without waste.

• Shop “SOP” ought to be displayed where the action is and not in a drawer somewhere.
• Shop “SOP” must represent a basic rule that everybody has to follow.
• Shop “SOP” should include the use of only quality products.

We all know that efficiency cannot be accomplished without maintaining proper standard operating procedures.  Is your team ready and prepared in the case of a spill or leak of any size?  Do you have the highest quality products available and are they part of your shop “sop”?
