 Spill Response

60-90 Minute Spill Kit Deployment
This course is to familiarize employees how to deploy and react when a spill happens. Covers areas such as sorbent selection, each configuration in your spill kit and best way to minimize risk, environmental impact and downtime associated with spill cleanup. The result is common sense training that develops awareness, confidence and capability of the employees who will be on the scene of a hazardous materials spill.

8 Hour certified Spill Response Training
SPILL RESPONSE TRAINING: SITE SPECIFIC TRAINING PACKAGE - 8 hours
The unique hands-on approach we utilize allows participants to practice and fine-tune the skills they acquire through the theory portion of the seminar. The following is the program structure for an eight-hour seminar. Prior to delivery of the seminar, a pre-training assessment is conducted on-site which includes reviewing the current spill contingency plan, copies of spill report assessments, and the description of worst spills on site, as well as listing all existing response materials in spill kits and all hazardous materials on site. Information gathered from the pre-training assessment will be used to determine the structure of the Table Top and Practical Exercises. This training will certify each participant as "Spill Responder - Awareness Level" as per NFPA Standard 472 and meets ISO 14001 EMS compliance for ‘site specific’ training.

Topics covered:

  • Corporate Environmental Policy Review
  • Spill Definition
  • Legislation
  • Identification
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
  • Response Procedures (HAZMAT)
  • Decontamination
  • Response Tactics
  • Review of Response Plan

Throughout the entire training process the trainer and participants establish a list of action items/deficiencies to be addressed. Some typical action items are; signage, indicating location of spill kits, updating emergency response plans, and additional training needs (i.e. TDG training) for key personnel.
