BP will offer training with OSHA and U.S. Coast Guard to help prepare those interested for shoreline cleanup
May 11th, 2010 - 4:51 am ICT by BNO NewsWASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) – BP will offer training in conjunction with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the U.S. Coast Guard to properly prepare those interested in participating in shoreline cleanup.
The training is fit-for-purpose based on whether you are a volunteer, contractor or vessel owner. The Post-Emergency Spilled Oil Response Training Modules were prepared by Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), with review and approval provided by BP, Occupational Safety & Health Administration and US Coast Guard personnel.
The training is for those registered in the Vessel of Opportunity program or as a contractor who wants to participate in clean up. The non-contaminated beach cleanup “volunteers” will receive a basic BP health, safety, and environmental orientation which have been endorsed by OSHA and the Coast Guard.
To be included as a volunteer, please contact the BP volunteer hotline at 866-448-5816. Your contact information will be gathered and you will contacted when opportunities arise in your area.
If you are interested in assisting in shoreline oil spill clean up operations, and you live in one of the coastal states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama or Florida), you can request placement in a spill response course by emailing Horizonresponse@pecpremier.com.
