Hands-on Oil Spill Response Strategies and Tactics Training

Training at Ohmsett takes the learning from the classroom, to the 2.6 million gallon wave/tow tank.  That’s where students receive hands-on training with the latest spill response equipment and techniques used in the field during the hands-on Oil Spill Strategies and Tactics Training, May 14-17, 2019 and August 6-9, 2019 in Leonardo, New Jersey.

With the emphasis on practical experience in full-scale oil recovery operations in the Ohmsett tank, you can increase your proficiency using boom and skimmers while practicing removing spilled oil. The combined classroom/tank exercise training provides response teams the skills to work more safely, operate more effectively, and make better decisions in the field.

The course is presented in partnership with Texas A&M National Spill Control School (NSCS).  Classroom curriculum and instruction is provided by Texas A&M University National Spill Control School. Ohmsett staff provides professional training services to support the hands-on portion of training. At the completion of the course, students receive a NSCS Certificate of Completion.
