The refining and transfer of oil
cargoes are processes that entail many risks. One of these potential risks is
potential oil spills which could result in devastation to the marine and
coastal environments and have a negative impact on the production and export
operations. Hence, all personnel dealing with oil cargoes should be familiar
with oil spill hazards, response, and crisis management operations in cases of
larger spills.
This course will highlight:
The key elements and challenges of an
oil spill response using a case history
The main role of the Supervisor /
On-Scene Commander
The steps in spill response
The need for pre-planning and response
preparedness
The interests and roles of other
parties to the spill, such as environmental organisations, media
representatives, and how they might impact on the role of the Supervisor /
On-Scene Commander
