 BP to offer training in conjunction with OSHA and the Coast Guard. 
 
Health, Safety and Environmental Training has been a key focus to properly
prepare those interested in participating in shoreline clean up. The
training is fit-for-purpose based on whether you are a volunteer, contractor
or vessel owner. The Post-Emergency Spilled Oil Response Training Modules
were prepared by Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), with review and
approval provided by BP, Occupational Safety & Health Administration and US
Coast Guard personnel. 
 
The training is for those registered in the Vessel of Opportunity program or
as a contractor who wants to participate in clean up. The non-contaminated
beach clean up "volunteers" will receive a basic BP health, safety &
environmental orientation which as been endorsed by OSHA and the the Coast
Guard.
 
To be included as a volunteer, please contact the BP volunteer hotline at
866-448-5816. Your contact information will be gathered and you will
contacted when opportunities arise in your area. If you are interested in
assisting in shoreline oil spill clean up operations, and you live in one of
the coastal states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama or Florida), you can
request placement in a spill response course by emailing
Horizonresponse at pecpremier.com. This course is not a guarantee of employment
but provides credentials needed to be hired for spill cleanup work by BP
contractors.
