Spill Responder 400A

  • $2220.00

Prerequisite: Completion of all of the following learning contents required to start.
WCSS Spill Responder 100 (course)

Responders will learn how to deploy containment and recovery equipment in open water using WCSS jet boats over the course of 2 days.  WCSS-certified operators will be provided in each of the boats. 

The first half-day is spent in a classroom session, reviewing regulatory interaction expectations, oil effects and behaviours in medium to large lakes and rivers, access challenges and solutions, and navigating various environmental conditions.

The following 1.5 days give students the opportunity to become well-practiced in handling containment and recovery techniques for large stagnant and flowing water bodies.  They will work from jet boats and a barge as crew members and discover the value of strong communication skills in an emergency response setting.  The equipment used will include: 

  • single engine jet boats
  • various anchors, chain and ropes
  • marker buoys
  • inflatable lake boom
  • boom deflectors
  • standard fast water river boom
