5S WORKSHOP DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
.avif)
Official partnership
Organised, safe, effective workshops
We design, install and manage workshops for teams of engineers, focused on traceability, ease of auditing and tool availability.
These traceability-led workshops are then managed and restocked by our dedicated inhouse team, allowing procurement teams to achieve complete transparency over tool usage and consumable replenishment.
Often we provide stores management services alongside our workshop solutions, for a complete end-to-end service for engineering teams of all sizes.

Spill control solutions
Our 5S workshops are based on a Japanese workplace organisation method. The name refers to five Japanese S words, each contributing to a workspace that is highly functional and ordered.
Absorbent stations
Fast access to multiple absorbents for the reactive management of small spills and leakages. These self-contained steel units centralise wiping, cleaning and absorption, reducing the need to use an emergency spill kit for minor incidents.
- Absorbent pads for spills and leakages
- Absorbent roll for wiping and cleaning
- Absorbent socks to contain larger spills
Emergency spill kits
Spill kits range from 15l to 1100l in capacity, and are specified according to the liquids in use. They are sealed with a breakable tag to indicate when they have been used for an emergency situation.
- General purpose spill kits for non-hazardous spills
- Oil and fuel spill kits for machinery or vehicle emergencies
- Chemical spill kits for hazardous chemicals
Spillpod®
Wall mounted for workshop environments, these self-contained steel units hold multiple absorbents, disposable gloves and floor degreaser.
- Spillpod pads are eight times more absorbent than rags
- Perforated paper roll for general cleaning and wiping
- Available for general purpose, oil and fuel or chemical absorption
Drain protection
A critical part of environmental protection during a spill emergency is having suitable drain protection, which could include land booms, drain booms, drain blockers and drain filters.
- Heavy-weight drain covers protect against hazardous spills
- Spill berms to contain and divert spills away from the drain
- Neoprene drain covers for reusable, easy to clean protection
Containment
Containment solutions prevent ground contamination during drum decanting, filling tasks and in the event of a leak, drip or spill. Our spill containment products are 100% recyclable and compliant with UK Oil Storage Regulations.
- Drip pans and trays to catch leaks and drips
- Spill pallets and IBC bunds compliant with Oil Storage Regulations
- Portable trays and bunds for projects or adhoc tasks
Loose absorbents
Ideal for industrial spillages and general clean-up duties, this 100% recycled wood fibre or gypsum particulates are fireproof, lightweight and safe to use.
- EVO Recycled LW30 absorbs fuel oils, cutting fluids, grease, inert chemicals, paint and other liquids
- EVO DRI absorbent granules for spills and leaks of non-hazardous fluids
The 5S methodology
Our 5S workshops are based on a Japanese workplace organisation method. The name refers to five Japanese S words, each contributing to a workspace that is highly functional and ordered.
1 — Seiri | sort
Remove all unnecessary items from the workspace
2 — Seiton | Set in order
Put everything into its proper place
.avif)
3 — Seiso | Shine
Keep the workplace clean and tidy
4 — Seiketsu | Standardise
Establish consistent work practices and rationalise resources and spaces

5 — Shitsuke | Sustain
Support and spread this mindset throughout your organisation
Benefits of 5S workshops
Improve time and cost-effectiveness
A proper organisation and transport system for your tools will ensure you have everything you need, where you need it, for both planned and reactive work.
Enhanced quality and productivity
A purpose-built workshop contains precisely the tools your team needs, and not generic equipment. Having the right tools improves reliability and performance.
Fewer work accidents
Arranging all necessary items for ease of access and removing tools and consumables that are not required, will minimise misuse and reduce hazards.
Greater efficiency
Reducing the number of defects and errors helps avoid delays, optimises processes and improves overall efficiency.

Case Study | A traceability-led 5S workshop for a 24-man engineering team
Customer: Packaging facility for major UK retailer
Challenge: This large engineering team needed quick access to the right tools and consumables in the event of a breakdown and their procurement team needed total visibility of spend
Solution: We installed a bespoke-designed workshop over four days, including 24 roll cabs and individual toolkits, two secure shadow boards, a charging cabinet for tablets and power tool batteries and storage racking for 5,000 parts. The installation was quickly followed by the arrival of a comprehensive package of consumables and spares that are now managed by ABCO weekly.
