Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Worker who installs and retrieves oil fences at sea or in harbors to prevent and recover the spread of oil slicks during oil spill accidents.
Description
Oil fence installation workers are specialized operators who, during marine oil spill accidents involving crude oil or petroleum products, deploy floating oil fences (barriers) from ships or work boats onto the sea surface to prevent the spread of oil slicks and facilitate recovery. After confirming weather and sea conditions, they select installation sites and use techniques such as rope work and crane operation to deploy the fences. In recovery operations, they operate oil recovery devices, remove oil slicks, and handle appropriate waste management. Flexible response to high waves, wind, and changing oil conditions, teamwork, and safety and health awareness are required.
Future Outlook
With the increase in maritime transportation and strengthening of environmental regulations, the demand for workers with oil spill response capabilities is expected to remain stable.
