Spill Response for Oil and Gas Personnel

OGS-13.2

Oil and gas exploration and production sites carry a risk of causing harm to public health or the environment in the form of spills and other releases. While oil and gas companies will have very specific protocol for dealing with emergency releases, field personnel are often responsible for responding to smaller, incidental releases. Learners who successfully complete this course will demonstrate the ability to identify the difference between incidental and emergency releases, identify recommended release-prevention measures, and identify proper incident-release response measures. This course is intended for oil and gas employees that may come across a spill while working on the job, and can help employers comply with the Oil Pollution Act and EPA regulations on spill prevention and control.
