On April 21, 2010, the Deep Water
Horizon oil drilling rig (owned by British Petroleum (BP)) caught
fire and sank leading to oil spilling from the sea floor. Thousands
of workers are responding to the clean-up activities. The National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has been asked
to support the Unified Command to establish a systematic rostering
of workers participating in Gulf spill response clean-up efforts,
including volunteers, by obtaining this information at the time of
training, or for those already trained, by working with safety and
on-site supervisory officials.
The National Institute
