An Oil Spill Contingency Plan represents a vital tool to all affected by potential environmental disasters. By their very nature, Contingency Plans are fluid documents constantly in need of development and training. Contingency Plans should accurately reflect the operational capability of the owner organisation. The “honesty” of a contingency plan will improve with the feedback generated by attentive regulators, training feedback, exercise feedback, external audit and internal audit.
