Working in the oil and gas industry can be a hazardous environment. Ensuring your employees are properly trained to respond to oil spills and other HSE incidents is essential to maintaining a safe operation.
Mark and Patrick had the opportunity to tour the Texas A&M University Engineering Extension Services (TEEX) campus located in Galveston, TX and speak with one of their outstanding instructors Andrew Wesley Moorhead (a.k.a. Wes). Even during a down market with lower attendance numbers, the faculty and staff at TEEX are committed to providing the best oil spill and safety training. They even cater to a class size of one, if necessary.
Find out how technology is changing the science of oil spill clean up, while still relying on the tried and true methods of booming and skimming a spill.
