Spill Awareness
Training
Industry now recognises that spills can have serious ecological and socio-economic consequences and are potentially hazardous to both workers, the environment, and the business.
Carrying out regular spill risk assessments and ensuring that you have the correct equipment and materials, in the right places, is important. An optimum level of preparedness and speed of response is of equal importance in ensuring that any spill, whether indoors or outdoors, is responded to in a safe, effective, and efficient manner and is essential to limit the widespread adverse consequential impacts that a spill can have.
It is essential that organisations have an Emergency Spill Response Plan (ESRP) in place and appropriate spill response training strategy in line with likely scenarios. This will enable first responders to carry out response functions when an incident or emergency occurs as well as developing their competencies and skill sets so that they can fulfil their key roles and responsibilities.
