Elastec Oil Spill Workshops

Elastec recently wrapped up its 2019 Fall Oil Spill Workshop. The three-day workshop was held October 8-10 in Carmi, Illinois and New Harmony, Indiana. This year’s instructor was Cody Harris of the Whitewater Rescue Institute. Attendees had one day of classroom instruction where they learned about hydrology, water safety, and oil spill case studies. This was followed by equipment demonstrations and tours of the Elastec facility. The second day was an on-water day in New Harmony, Indiana. Attendees participated in hands-on exercises with oil skimmers, containment boom, and BoomVanes. On the last day, an oil spill response drill was held using the equipment and skills learned on the previous day.

Seats are available for the 2020 Spring Oil Spill Workshop which will be held June 2-4. The instructor for the Elastec Spring Workshop will be Trever Miller of SWAT Consulting. Trever will be covering topics including defining a reportable emergency, assessing a release situation, identifying the correct emergency response plan to use, isolating the scene, and deploying the correct emergency response equipment. The price for the workshop is $1,250.00.
