Proper Instruction for Cleanup Workers
Training is important. To work in the cleanup, workers must be trained on the hazards of their job in a language that they understand. Workers must be trained before they begin oil spill response and cleanup work.
Oil spill cleanup operations are inherently hazardous.
All oil spill cleanup workers should be trained in the following:
- An initial briefing utilizing the Site Safety Plan or National Incident Management System (NIMS) assignment form at the site prior to their participation
- A briefing on emergency procedures under the site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP)
- Instruction in the wearing of appropriate personal protective equipment
- Information on what health hazards from oil and other chemicals might be encountered
- Explanation of what duties are to be performed
- Chain of command
- Instruction on the decontamination procedures to be followed
- All other appropriate safety and health precautions
