The oil's properties change quickly, which affect the choice of response measures. It is difficult to conduct operations in the dark and under situations with poor
The latter indicated that inhalation was a relevant exposure route and suggested that relatively simple control measures may reduce health hazards. Fishermen Offshore oil spills or leaks may occur during various stages of well drilling or Pollution-control measures include containment and removal of the oil (either by
Spill Control Measures. Mechanical Containment Equipment. Block the spread of oil. Concentrate it into one area. Store it until it can be removed and disposed of properly. When oil is spilled, it can endanger public health and the environment, as well as cost millions of dollars in clean up and disposal. To prevent oil contamination of navigable waterways and adjoining shorelines, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency created the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure rule. Definition and Meaning. Oil Pollution is the resultant contamination of environment due to the introduction/presence of oil in excessive quantity. Oil pollution is most common in large water bodies like seas and oceans. Oil spill occurs due to the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the aquatic environment.

Preventative steps include: (1) use of food grade oil; (2) proper storage and handling of fuel and oils and; (3) regular maintenance and inspection of equipment. Spill Response and Clean-up Procedures; Developing a Spill Response Plan; Recommended Spill Control Materials Inventory; Spill Response and Clean-up Procedures. In the event of a chemical spill, the individual(s) who caused the spill is responsible for prompt and proper clean-up.
