OPEC Systems Shoreline Responders Course

Monday, 22 October, 2018 | Supplied by: OPEC Systems Pty Ltd


The OPEC Systems Shoreline Responders Course is a nationally accredited marine pollution remediation course, suitable for traditional land owners as well as employees from local government and ports and harbours.

When marine pollution events occur, they come with a significant financial and environmental cost. In addition to a direct impact on fish, sea mammals, birds, habitats and breeding grounds, unresolved spills can lead to long-term environmental consequences.

OPEC Systems’ training package is grounded in industry-leading practices for incident response, allowing designated first responders to respond in an effective and efficient manner. Each course is specifically tailored to the local area, with a large majority of the training spent on beaches and foreshores, enabling participants to get maximum field time.

In the event of an oil spill, the company provides people with the skills to identity the oil type and foreshore substrates, and how to treat the impacted areas. The strong focus on field training means that participants have the practical skills to coordinate an effective response and return the marine environment to its original state.

The course is run over three consecutive days, with participants gaining a ‘Certificate III — Shoreline Responder’ and a Statement of Attainment. It includes modules in health, safety and risk controls; assessment strategies; and team leadership.
