Absorbents

Absorbent pads and rolls are essential for controlling spills in industrial environments, helping maintain clean and safe workspaces. These products quickly soak up liquids, reducing slip hazards and supporting compliance with safety regulations.

By managing spills efficiently, absorbents protect employees, equipment and facility floors from damage. Their versatility makes them valuable for routine maintenance and emergency response, ensuring your operation remains productive and accident-free.

First Aid

Kimball Midwest’s first aid kits are designed to meet and exceed ANSI/ISEA standards, providing essential supplies for workplace emergencies.

Unitized kits with interior labels keep contents organized and make it easy to identify and replace used items. Class A kits suit general work areas, while Class B kits are ideal for intensive environments requiring extra protection.

Wall-mountable dispensers offer quick access, and included medications address common needs. Convenient refill packs simplify restocking, ensuring your team is always prepared to respond to injuries and maintain compliance.
