IMO OPRC Level 1 First Responder

• The IMO Level 1 is very much a practical course for personnel involved in the front line clean-up of oil spills. All practical work is backed up with classroom theory and syndicate exercises.

• The course is designed for those who have a role or responsibility within their organisation for on-site response to oil spills, or for nominated oil spill response team members. There is a complete overview of the various techniques for recovering spilled oil and cleaning polluted shorelines so that attendees can become more effective participants in an oil spill response team and be aware of other issues that are occurring during a spill.

• Responder safety is a key priority on the course and becomes a recurrent theme to ensure occupational hygiene and job safety issues are dealt with effectively.

• The course follows the issues of international oil spill operations, covering all areas of the globe and all types of shoreline and operating conditions. However, it is normal for course exercises to be as appropriate to the delegate as possible, the course team will take into account the climate, shoreline topography, local and national contingency plans and local equipment stockpiles.
