Tiered Preparedness and Response (TPR) is an internationally recognised planning approach that enables the integration of local, regional and global capabilities into oil spill response planning.

In this webinar Paul Foley, OSRL’s Response Manager (Europe & Africa), will provide an overview of the TPR segment relating to the Incident Management System.

Meet the Presenter.

Paul Foley

Paul began his career with OSRL as a spill response specialist in 2003 with a Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering. The past nineteen years have provided many opportunities to gain a broad range of experiences from hands-on spill response to diverse preparedness projects around the world. First-hand international spill experiences range from terrestrial pipelines, tank farms and drilling operations to marine-based releases from tankers and E&P operations. In addition to the operational exposure gained through response, Paul has also devoted much time to preparedness activities for various member companies through training and contingency plan development. Previously as Technical Manager Paul introduced OSRL’s ‘Blueprint’ for operational excellence, drove the development of the Subject Matter Expertise (SME) framework, and evolved OSRL's approach to crisis management.

Paul spent two years in Singapore as Deputy Operations Manager followed by a twelve-month secondment to ExxonMobil as their Asia Pacific Emergency Preparedness and Response Advisor. This secondment offered a unique insight into member expectations and also introduced valuable exposure to the crisis management perspective of up and downstream operations.

Notable recent works include co-authoring the latest Good Practice Guide on Tiered Preparedness and Response (TPR), developing an Operational Management System for OSRL and driving the development of OSRL’s cold region response capability.

Paul is currently OSRL’s Response Manager (EMEA & Africa).
