Here’s
what’s
available…
H
azardous material is a concern in every motor pool. If you
want to keep the environment clean by controlling POL spills,
you may need the help of some thirsty sock absorbers.
There are a variety of sock absorbers in the supply system.
Some are big picker-uppers for use on big spills, and there are
small pads to use instead of drip pans. Since these pads don’t
have to be level, they’re especially useful during field exercises.
