oil spill prevention

Oil spill prevention involves implementing safety measures to stop oil from leaking into the environment during extraction, transportation, and storage. This includes using advanced equipment, regular maintenance, and safety protocols to monitor for potential leaks. Ships and pipelines are equipped with sensors and shut-off systems to detect issues early. Emergency response plans and training are crucial in minimizing damage if spills occur. Overall, prevention aims to reduce human error and mechanical failures, protecting ecosystems and communities from the harmful impacts of oil spills.
