This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to operate, deploy, monitor and recover basic (Level 1) oil spill response equipment, whilst working as a team member.

An oil spill is the release of liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, either aquatic or on land. There are three categorised levels of oil spills; Level 1 spills are mild, causing localised damage in marine and or land environments.

The unit is applicable to personnel deployed to operate basic (Level 1) oil spill response equipment.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
