Hazmat.

Make a mess and you get to clean it up. Clean-up is especially important if you work around hazardous materials. Fuel, oil, solvent and other HAZMAT spills must be controlled and sopped up quickly and safely to protect both you and the environment.

You need the help of spill kits. The Army stocks a variety. You'll find socks to contain large spills and small pads to use in place of drip pans. Pads are especially useful in the field because they don't have to be on level ground.

Some New Products

The Army now stocks some drip pillow berms you can use instead of
drip pans. Each drip pillow berm consists of a jacket with a
replaceable absorbent pillow inside. You can drive over these
berms without damaging them. The're weighted down to with stand more
than 40 mph winds, and they will not tip or splash. They won't
absorb water, so you can leave them out in the rain. Each
berm comes with a grommet for tie down or retrieval

Here's what's available:
