It is essential that organisations have an Emergency Spill Response Plan (ESRP) in place. However, the success of an organisation's Emergency Spill Response Plan depends not only on how well the plan is constructed and communicated to staff but just as importantly, on the ability of its employees and first responders to follow the plan, act both safely and effectively to a given situation and to use the emergency equipment provided by the company.

For this reason, it is for businesses to develop an appropriate spill response training strategy in line with likely scenarios. This will enable first responders to carry out response functions when an incident or emergency occurs and develop their competencies and skill sets to fulfil their key roles and responsibilities.

It is important that all those within an organisation who may be involved in responding to an emergency or incident should be appropriately prepared. Spill response training is about preparing staff to carry out response functions when a spillage event occurs. Without appropriate training, an organisation and its staff could quickly become overwhelmed by an incident and be unable to handle its impacts as well as expose themselves and others to the risk of harm. Finally, an uncoordinated response could also lead to a delay in the resumption of normal business operations or depending upon the outcome of the incident, fines, and clean-up costs not to mention bad publicity for the organisation.
