This publication was developed as a health and safety resource for those who will participate in an oil spill response and cleanup. Oil spill cleanup workers can face potential hazards from oil byproducts, dispersants, detergents and degreasers. Drowning, heat illness and falls also pose hazards, as can encounters with insects, snakes and other wild species native to the impacted areas. This publication does NOT replace the additional duty-specific training or personal-protective-equipment-specific training requirements.
