Natural biological degradation of oil can be stimulated, and stimulation of the<br />
natural biological oil degradation can be a suitable way to “polish” the coast after<br />
traditional mechanical cleaning. Moreover, stimulation of the natural oil<br />
degradation, in special cases may be the most appropriate and environmentally<br />
sound way, even as the only cleaning measure applied. Stimulation of the natural<br />
biological degradation of oil is dealt with in chapter 13. It is emphasized that<br />
application of this measure demands detailed planning and monitoring.<br />
Chapter 9 includes a description of material and equipment suitable for oil<br />
recovering, protection and cleaning. The chapter describes both special equipment<br />
as well as the use of current contractors’ machinery.<br />
The oil does not only constitute a danger to the environment - there are also<br />
occupational safety and health related measures which have to be observed to avoid<br />
that the people taking part in the cleaning work and handling of the collected oil<br />
are injured or bec<strong>om</strong>e ill. Therefore, chapter 11 of the guidelines includes a special<br />
paragraph on occupational safety and health risks in connection with clean-up of<br />
certain types of oil products.<br />
Identification of the polluter and production of evidence in an action for<br />
damages/criminal case are topics that have received much attention during recent<br />
years, just as a considerable development has taken place within this area. This<br />
situation is reflected in the revised chapter 10 on sampling.<br />
Even though the present guideline only deals with oil pollution control, chapter 14<br />
briefly describes the measures to be adopted in case of drums, tanks, boxes and<br />
similar wrecks being washed ashore.
