Article six of the OPRC (Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation) Convention 1990 sets out the requirement for operators to have in place an oil spill response system which includes equipment, training and exercises. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) have identified oil spill response training requirements for the UK Oil and Gas Industry. The training is designed to ensure Operator personnel are prepared and competent to manage a response at one of four levels identified in the standard.
This is a participative classroom based course, which majors in theoretical input. This course will ensure that all relevant personnel are trained to identify and implement appropriate pollution response arrangements. Such response arrangements may include input from BEIS, MCA, SOSREP, pollution response contractors and other relevant Government agencies.
The following key elements will be covered through a series of lectures, workshops and practical exercises: • Assess the situation • Mobilise teams • Undertake notifications • Forecast fate and track of a spill • Develop a response strategy • Manage and control an on-going response • Deactivate a response
