The National Spill Control School (NSCS) was established to provide training in the safe and effective handling of oil and hazardous material spills. The program has been modified as new needs arose in the public sector. The School today offers courses in Oil Spill Management, Oil Spill Response and Safety, Oiled Wildlife Rehabilitation, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER), Hazardous Materials Transportation, Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, and Spill Information Management Systems. Additional services in contingency planning and exercise development are offered.
