Spill Response Training - Awareness and Operations
What is Spill Response?
Spill response is the term used to describe the activity that takes place after some type of unplanned release of toxic or hazardous materials.
It is important to know how to respond promptly to a hazardous spill to minimize the impact to workers, property, and the environment.
Why Do Workers Require Training?
Spills have the potential to cause serious environmental damage; as well as, harm to workers and damage to property and reputation. Regulations in Ontario have established procedures for minimizing the hazardous effects of spills.
