The training program should include participation in periodic
announced and unannounced drills or exercises. This
participation should approximate the actual roles and
responsibilities of individuals as specified in the response
plan.
Training should be conducted periodically to reinforce the
required knowledge and to insure an adequate degree of
preparedness by individuals with responsibilities under the
facility response plan.
Training may be delivered via a number of different means;
including classroom sessions, group discussions, video tapes,
self study workbooks, resident training courses, on- the-job
training, or other means as deemed appropriate to insure proper
instruction.
New employees should complete the training program prior to
being assigned job responsibilities which require participation
in emergency response situations.
It is hoped that the information provided above will assist plan
preparers in reviewing what is in their plan and modifying the training
section of their response plan. It should be remembered however, that
the information given above is only meant to assist the plan preparer in
reviewing their process in developing the section of their response plan
dealing with training. It may be more comprehensive that is needed for
some facilities, and not comprehensive enough for others. In addition,
it is expected that each plan preparer has determined the training needs
of their organization created by the development of the response plan
and the actions identified as necessary to increase the company's and
its personnel's preparedness for responding to actual or threatened
discharges of oil from their facility.
