The goal of the Spills Response Training course is to ensure participants know how to respond to a spill. An effective spill response involves containment, stopping the flow, clean up, reporting the incident, and restoring the area. All of this must be done to ensure the safety of the individual, the people surrounding the incident, and the environment in which it occurred.
