    Industry regulators require that all petroleum companies be properly equipped and trained for emergencies, such as oil spills.

    • Oil spill response contractors 
    • WCSS member company in-house initial response personnel

    Instructors with a minimum of 10 years experience operating jet boats in spill environments will work in a 1:3 ratio with students to provide optimal direction.

    • Boat Safety and Operation
    • Boat Maneuvering
    • River Reading
    • Boat Maintenance
    • Spill Response Equipment Deployment
