Incident Response

We attend oil spill incidents and provide technical guidance and advice both in the field and within command centres. We have a very high awareness of health and safety issues, particularly in relation to oil spill clean-up operations. Our staff can share their knowledge with local supervisors and assist them to quickly adopt best practice in response operations. We can ensure that cogent arguments are put across relating to Net Environmental Benefit in response decision making, including the often tricky issue of when to terminate clean-up.

We have direct experience in working with Governments all around the world and a variety of Non-Government Organizations. During an incident this makes us the ideal partners to formulate and implement plans for effective and constructive engagement with the relevant stakeholders.

Post Spill

Our staff can act as highly credible and respected ‘expert witnesses’ if elements of an oil spill incident are contentious or controversial, leading to legal action.

We can also provide guidance and help in the design and execution of post-spill environmental studies. These may be required to monitor the recovery of an area after an incident or to assess the effectiveness of clean-up operations.
