Oil Pollution Prevention Plans - Canada - Online

Oil Pollution Prevention Plans

According to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, or CEPA 1999, pollution prevention is defined as "the use of processes, practices, materials, products, substances or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste and reduce the overall risk to the environment or human health.

Who needs Oil Pollution Prevention Plan Training?

To help prevent and combat oil spills, the National Oil Spill Preparedness and Response Regime, commonly referred to as the regime, requires all oil handling facilities to have an Oil Pollution Emergency Plan, or an OPEP, in place and for all ships to have a Ship Oil Pollution Emergency Plan, or a SOPEP, in place.
