Better understand your Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (OPEP) and the wide array of issues that are associated with an initial oil spill response.
This course outlines the crucial decisions, considerations and actions that Offshore Installation Managers (OIMs) will need to undertake in the first 100+ minutes of an oil spill incident.
Built around a typical Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (OPEP) covering critical decisions and actions, this scenario-based course is highly interactive, immersing you in an actual setting of the early stages of an oil spill, mirroring aspects of your own OPEP.
It is highly customised taking consideration of not only the Australian National Contingency Plan, but the requirements by Australian regulatory bodies such as NOPSEMA (National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority) and AMSA (Australian Maritime Safety Authority).
It is a legal requirement that oil and gas entities operating in the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone have trained responders at all levels who can act swiftly and effectively in the event of a release of oil from your installation.
