Contractors

A key component of BCO's operational team is the well-trained and professional contractor network. Located throughout the province, these contractors sometimes have the greatest access to a spill and can be the first to arrive on scene. Together they are able to provide a wide range of response vessels and equipment, as well as the valuable insight and technical skills that each member of their spill team possesses. In its commitment to maintain these contractor agreements, BCO increases its ability to consistently execute a quick, safe and effective response.

 

      

 

FOSET    

The Fishermen's Oil Spill Emergency Team (FOSET) significantly influence BCO's marine coastal response capability. FOSET members are able to apply their extensive knowledge of our coastal waters in order to safely and effectively assist in the cleanup of spills. Along with the contractors, FOSET members receive comprehensive spill response training and are thus more equipped to confidently analyze and minimize the impacts of oil spills in BC's coastal waters.
