With the aim of ensuring that all staff are equipped with the necessary skills to effectively respond to an off- shore oil spill, ExxonMobil Guyana recently conducted an exercise to field test its spill-response equipment, processes, and team readiness.
“Our approach to emergency response is to prevent, prepare and practice. Prevention is our primary objective but training for potential scenarios is also an important component of that approach,” ExxonMobil Guyana President Alistair Routledge said in a statement issued by the company on Tuesday.
He added, “Through robust training and exercises, utilising advanced technology, we ensure our response teams and stakeholders understand their roles and responsibilities and are ready to respond.”
