So far this week, members of our Operational Teams from Bristol, Barnsley and Harlow have been sitting on an internal Oil Spill Response Supervisor course, hosted by members of our Training and Consultancy Team. The course has been tailored to Ambipar Response | UK's Incident Response Plan and Procedures, covering all aspects of supervising operational clean-up activities across our client's ports, harbours, estuaries and shorelines. The team have discussed and practised the monitoring and evaluating techniques used to undertake the initial and continued assessment of spills, as well as tools for identifying the correct tactical techniques. They have also focused on the appropriate reporting lines, and the importance of briefing key personnel of current and future activities, understanding the needs of those directly associated with the clean-up operations in the field. The Team will then be applying their new skills through a series of field based practicals in the coming weeks. #Training #Capbaility #Competency #OilSpillResponse #CPD

The Bristol Port Company recently conducted a major Incident Management Exercise (IME) to test our Oil Spill Contingency Plan and response protocols. Partnering with the Pill Hobblers (Tier 1 responders) and Tier 2 contractor, Ambipar Response | UK, a significant spill from a ship was simulated to test our preparedness and response. Joining us for the exercise were representatives from the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom; the MCA's Counter Pollution and Salvage Officer; environmental stakeholders including the Environment Agency & Natural England; representatives from local councils and ports; and several members of the Marine Department and Bristol Port Police. The exercise proved to be a great success with thought-provoking discussions and lessons learned; paving the way for closer cooperation and a refined plan for the future!

The team have been sitting an internal delivery of our SCAT Management and Coordination Training, which follows guidance as set out by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Ipieca on shoreline response techniques and considerations that should be understood throughout the response to shoreline oiling.

It was a pleasure to host members of the Environment Agency at our Barnsley Base yesterday. This was the first of a series of visits and meetings with the EA in a round robin tour of our Response Bases. The purpose of these visits is to demonstrate Ambipar Response | UK’s capability and the equipment that is on standby around the clock to assist the Environment Agency in the response to HAZMAT, Oil Spill and Flooding incidents. Thirteen members of the EA, from various teams across the northern region, came to hear our capabilities, look at available equipment and discuss suitable responses and tactics for incidents that they may wish to call on us for support for in the future. Many thanks to the Environment Agency for joining us and to those members of our Response and Technical Teams who presented throughout the day. #EnvironmentalResponse #OilSpill #HAZMAT #Flooding #InicidentPreparedness
