Introduction
Oil is a complicated compound consists mainly of hydrogen, carbon, and sulfur. Sulfur compounds have Poisonous characters and have the ability to dissolve in water that harms marine organisms and changes the marine environment. This course will give a sound overview of oil spill risk, prevention, response, and clean-up, in order to increase awareness and understanding of the best practices relating to the recognition of Oil Spill Hazards, Causes, Fate and Strategies for dealing with oil spills
Objectives
This program has been tailored to provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to Oil Spill Response, in order to reduce the effect of spillage, Combat the marine oil pollution, and Cleaning of beaches. By the end of this training, participants will have a thorough understanding of the principles of Oil Spill Response and Contingency Planning.
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
Who Should Attend?
Any participants want to gain a basic understanding of marine Oil pollution, Combating strategy, combating equipment and cleanup practices.
