There She Blows! Second Gulf Coast Explosion Deepens Need for Oil Spill Cleanup Workers/Volunteers


Once again the sound of an exploding oil rig fills the air and breaks the temporary silence of a Thursday morning on the Gulf of Mexico. This time, thankfully, there were no deaths reported from the initial investigation of the exploding oil platform owned by Houston-based Mariner Energy. What could be heard over the deafening sound of exploding crude oil and screeching metal was the undeniable and deafening sound of an industry in need.

OSHA 40 Hour Hazwoper

If the environmentally-devastating BP Gulf Coast Oil Spill did not send home a sobering point that our nation’s deep-sea oil rigging capabilities or better stated as our nation’s oil rigging platform and offshore drilling international industry babysitting service was in need of an overhaul than this second explosion in the span of five months should sear that point directly home. We need to address a very important point here and that is the call to arms so to speak for more waiting in the wings oil spill cleanup workers and volunteers.

Online or On-Site-Your Choice

To deny the fact that the oil drilling industry either domestic or international is in need of some quick safety training or material inspections would be to deny everything about offshore oil drilling in general. Something needs to be done and until then one thing that we all can do is to make a firm commitment to train more workers/volunteers in the realm of oil spill first responder and operations training. This can be achieved at one of the best safety training oil spill cleanup course providers in the world, Online OSHA Safety Training.

OSHA Compliance Training

Online OSHA has been around for a few years now and has trained hundreds of heroic BP Gulf Oil Spill and other environmental catastrophe heroes in the field of occupational safety and health training as well as Hazwoper cleanup. Not only has this safety training company filled a hole that was so desperately needed in the world of OSHA safety training but also became close associates with some of the most important environmental agencies in the United States of America.

Ghosts of BP Gulf Oil Spill

To better illustrate this point and to paint a desperate picture of the need for more oil spill workers and volunteers, even on a sideline-level, why don’t you take a stroll over to Online OSHA Safety Training’s website and peruse the plethora of fantastic OSHA compliant safety training courses made available there for your needs and requirements? To start you off please have a look at the courses that are offered there on the site that are involved in oil spill safety.

They came in droves at first as the BP Oil Spill environmental disaster sent an initial exodus of truly-passionate individuals straight to the disaster site. What started out as a nationwide effort to bring as many hands as possible to the beleaguered Gulf Coast has leveled-off to a skeleton crew. The only way to adequately lessen the environmental devastation that is currently pumping countless gallons of oil into the Gulf Coast waters daily is to first stop the leak. Secondly there needs to be plenty more HAZWOPER safety trained and educated oil spill cleaners either on a volunteer basis or as paid workers. At this point in the catastrophe the phrase of the day is ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Here is a brief sampling of the oil spill as well as other safety training courses that you can take full-advantage of at www.onlineOshaSafetyTraining.com.

• BP Gulf Oil Spill Classes
• Hazwoper 40-Hour Course
• Hazwoper 24-Hour Course

These two safety courses are great for educating the workers/volunteers against the inherent dangers of processing and cleaning up any hazardous location especially an oil spill of this magnitude and overall devastation! And now another one?

Note: Trainees must have additional hands-on training in the donning, doffing, and use of the Personal Protective Equipment required for their jobsite(s) in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120.
