Response Oil Assay Working Group 3: Responder's Data Sheet

Proposed Activities:

A “Responder’s Data Sheet” is a document that describes the properties and behavior of a given oil that responders need to know in order to direct a spill response. It can be thought of as an oil spill response equivalent to an SDS, but specifically designed for oil spill response. It will  be designed to be handed directly to and distributed by the Incident Command. It should contain information, and be written in a way that responders without expertise in petroleum chemistry or oil’s environmental behavior will be able to read it.

Expected Outcomes:

A design for a Responder’s Data Sheet for an oil that can be automatically generated from the data in a Response Oil Assay.

Final outcome documents:
