Question 12

What product is recommended to limit the effects of oil, coolant, or grease spills in the shop?

Accepted Answer

An absorbent mat is the best choice to limit the effects of oil, coolant, or grease spills in the shop as it can quickly absorb the spilled liquids, preventing them from spreading and reducing the risk of slips and falls. Shop rag or sawdust can be used to clean up spills, but they may not be as effective or efficient as an absorbent mat.
