Overflow, or spillage, occurs when a liquid exceeds the capacity of its container, leading to an unintended release of the substance. This can happen in various settings, such as kitchens, laboratories, or industrial sites, where liquids are stored or processed. Overflow can result from overfilling, equipment failure, or sudden changes in temperature or pressure. Managing overflow is crucial to prevent environmental contamination and ensure safety. Proper containment measures, such as using spill trays or secondary containment systems, can help mitigate risks. Additionally, regular maintenance of equipment and adherence to safety protocols are essential to minimize the chances of overflow incidents.
