BSEE audits the oil spill preparedness training performed by offshore facility owners and operators. This ensures that industry personnel are properly trained to support a command and control organization, and operate their response equipment. Specifically, BSEE personnel may attend industry training sessions and/or company exercises to improve the proficiencies of their Qualified Individuals, Incident Management Teams, and Spill Response Operations Teams. In addition, BSEE inspects the training records for oil spill response personnel identified in the OSRP. These industry records contain proof of training and qualification of the personnel as evidenced in course agendas and completion certificates, attendance records, or other relevant documentation.
