SpillConsult provide an industry leading preparedness service. In line with IPIECA-IOGP industry good practice guidelines, we tailor projects to specific requirements efficiently and effectively.

We have experience in developing all types of Oil Spill Preparedness Plans, including, but not limited to:

NOSCP - National Oil Spill Contingency Plans

SCP - Sub-Regional Contingency Plans

OSCP - Oil Spill Contingency Plans

For offshore installations, harbours and land based facilities

Onshore and Offshore OPEP’s - Oil Pollution Emergency Plans

In addition to plans, we can also develop stand-alone Oil Spill Risk Assessments (OSRA’s) - where planning scenarios are identified based on risk, environmental sensitivities and location specific response challenges.

We offer Tactical Response Plans (TRPs), that identify site or region-specific response strategies and subsequent tactics. Our experienced consultants develop TRPs by considering the operation specific risk profile and availability of resources; in combination with the environmental, social and economic sensitivities. These plans detail all the necessary practicalities of mobilising a response.

SpillConsult offer TRP’s as stand-alone documents or can seamlessly integrate them into your Oil Spill Response Plans.

TRP’s include, but are not limited to - aviation (dispersant and surveillance), offshore (containment and recovery, dispersant and In Situ Burning), onshore (Protection, Shoreline Clean-up, SCAT Plans), wildlife and waste.

Emergency Response Plans (ERP) are critical in the initial minutes and hours of an incident. Our skilled consultants can develop an ERP that defines actions during the reactive phase of an incident. Detailing the notifications required, response resources available, defined roles and responsibilities in addition to how your organisation will integrate with various agencies.

Our team have experience in developing over-arching ERPs, as well as risk specific plans (i.e. helicopter ditching, severe weather, fire etc.).

The range of potential incidents which could affect, disrupt, or stress production are ever increasing. If prepared and planned for correctly, then not all these incidents may result in a crisis. However, those that result in significant losses or increased demand on a company’s organisation, may have serious consequence for the company, stakeholders, country and reputation of those involved in a response.

The key requirement of a crisis management plan is that it should be easy to apply in an intense situation. Our consultants have experience in developing practical plans, which enable organisations to undertake the correct actions and communications under the utmost pressure.

Our Crisis Management Plans, as a minimum include:

Key principles and policies

Crisis team activation and mobilisation procedures

Checklists of actions

Guidelines on crisis communication strategy

Templates, such as holding statements

Contacts directory

A concerted and well-structured media response is essential in today’s press driven world.  SpillConsult offer Media Response Plans which are designed to ensure staff at all levels are able to handle the media and social media pressures associated with an incident. Whether it be an addition to a ERP or OPEP or a stand-alone Media Plan, SpillConsult is able to provide up to date valuable guidance.
