Risk Management Disaster Services Environmental is undertaking an unprecedented hiring and training process to help in the effort to contain the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The company has discovered a process that enables it to produce between three and five miles of boom a day, but it is now in need of more well-trained workers to support the manufacturing operations.
"Wherever we first obtain enough workers and boats will be where we can protect beaches by installing the oil boom we are making. We will coordinate with officials working in harmony with their direction," said William Lombardo, a spokesperson for Risk Management Disaster Services Environmental.
He added that the company is focusing on training mobile workforces that will be able to respond to rapid changes in weather conditions that will shift the slick into new areas and put local communities in danger.
The Deepwater Horizon spill began on April 20th, when a pressure build caused an explosion on the rig.
