As part of the SLA,
a representative of
OSRL/EARL will visit
our customers and
their facilities to review
preparedness and clarify
roles and responsibilities
during a spill.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Effective and efficient spill response
starts with preparation, long before
any incident. A response would
be ineffective if our personnel and
equipment were unable to integrate
with the customer and on-site
response structure. Likewise if the
relevant authorities are not prepared
for the industry approach or are
hostile to it, resources will be wasted.
THE THREE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE SLA ARE:
1. Response Services
Providing experienced spill
management teams, equipmentand
dispersants in the event of a spill
2. Response Integration
Providing advice and assistance to
customers especiallythrough annual
spill preparedness review meetings
3. Response Advocacy
Providing support and promotion of
the industry oil spillphilosophy
THE SLA BENEFITS INCLUDE:
• Regional support for the oil
industry
• Testing and validation of
customers' contingency plans
• Highly trained personnel and well
maintained response equipment
• Response, information or advice
24 hours a day, all year round
• Support of the International
Technical Advisory Committee
(ITAC)
• Tier 2 response facilities to support
industry high activity areas
• Specific timeline for mobilisation of
personnel and equipment from the
bases
• Working with the leading global
agencies to provide and promote
a more effective and responsible
response to oil spills
• Spill management at the site of the
response
• Proven ability to deliver personnel
and equipment to remote locations
• Large stockpile of dispersant
with the technical knowledge and
capability to carry out aerial and
boat spraying operations
It's about having
the right people, the
right training and the
appropriate equipment
on standby for rapid
deployment 24/7.
THE INTEGRATION PROGRAMME
OSRL/EARL proactively engages
all its customers in a programme of
integration that reviews preparedness
and clarifies how the organisations
will work together.
A key element of this Integration
Programme is a "Self Check" review,
a copy of this document is available
for download.
All new members receive an
integration programme explaining
how to get the best out of
OSRL/EARL.
