Guides and checklists on prevention, response, planning, and regulatory readiness — written for operators and authorities.
A practical walkthrough of handling, transfer, and containment practices that reduce spill risk.
Most on-site releases we respond to start with a transfer step — pump, hose, valve. Bund-wall integrity, written transfer procedures, and night-shift handover discipline cut the largest share of incidents before they reach the water.

The first ten minutes decide the size of the response. Move people upwind, eliminate ignition sources, contain what you can safely, and notify our 24/7 desk on +233 202 901 901. The hotline stays manned while the full Ghanaian crew mobilises.

A good plan names an incident commander, lists realistic worst-case scenarios, ties to specific equipment, and is rehearsed at least once a year. A plan on a shelf that nobody has opened in two years is a liability, not a control.

Weekly visual, monthly functional, annual third-party where applicable. Records against every serial number. A boom that splits in the first hour of a real response is worse than no boom at all.

Ghana EPA and IMO OPRC ask different things but reward the same discipline. The most common gaps we close in gap analyses are notification timing, escalation authority, and equipment-availability claims that don't match the audit trail.

Tabletop exercises, communications drills, and at least one on-water deployment per year. The crew that has rehearsed the plan in daylight will execute the plan at night — and the difference shows up in the first ten minutes.
