Complete Training Assessment

Onsite

Spill Response Training is designed to protect workers responding to hazardous spills and limit the potential environmental & financial impacts upon companies.  Using experienced trainers with hands on knowledge, we take students through all aspects of spill response for hazardous materials in the work environment.

Level I (Half Day):

This is strictly a classroom based program with minimal hands on. This is intended for the individuals not in the forefront of responding to hazardous spills.

Level II (Full Day):

This is intended for the individuals that are handling onsite spills while following their current spill plan and procedures. We incorporate small to medium size spill (205 L volume estimate) response techniques.

Level III (Two Day):

This is intended for the individuals that are handling onsite spills while following their current spill plan and procedures. We incorporate large spills (>205 L volume estimate) response techniques as outlined below. This program will include proper handling of hazardous waste, dangerous goods, and other potential risks. We will incorporate a risk assessment relating to spills to evaluate the potential of an incident.
