Dye laser spills

We have had two rhodamine 6G dye leaks in the past year. One was
fairly insignificant but the second resulted in over half a litre of
dye leaking inside the dye head and dripping all over our Facstar
plus optical bench.
My question is have any of you dye laser users out there fitted your
dye laser with a containment system of any kind?
I was contemplating placing trays under both the dye head and pump
and sleeving larger tubing over the dye lines, hopefully capturing
any leakage in the lower spill tray.
Anyone have a better idea?
