Emergency & Oil Spill Response Training

The ultimate effectiveness of any spill response depends not only on the existence of adequate plans and equipment but also on the availability of trained response personnel.

SEER Associates can help ensure that clients maintain a body of staff skilled in the various functions of emergency and spill response and who are capable of working together as an Incident Management Team.

SEER Associates Training Approach

SEER Associates can present a number of courses and these can be designed or modified for client needs.

SEER Associates training comprise a comprehensive training matrix that encompasses all aspects of OSR including exercises and drills. Trainees are provided with materials and support for ongoing reinforcement.

SEER Associates believes that good training alone will not guarantee a good response and so a regular programme of training, exercises and drills is recommended encompassing updates on the state of the art on spill control.

All course materials are prepared by personnel with OSR experience and formal educational qualifications. Courses are fully competency based.
