Irish Training Event on Inland Spills
Those attending the Desktop Exercise received an introduction to Inland Oil Spill Response Contingency Planning, participated in a lively discussion and received expert presentations on inland spill response. During the afternoon, delegates were able to view response activities being undertaken by delegates participating in the "hands-on" practical course. The Desktop Exercise ended with an interactive session focused on the initial actions and considerations that need to be addressed by response managers during the critical initiation phase of response. Students participating in the Practical Course received classroom training on response to oil spills on inland surface waters, then an introduction to the equipment to be used in the afternoon exercise. This was followed by practical exercises on aspects of spill containment and recovery.
