Training plays an important part in developing and maintaining the skills required to respond effectively to emergency situations. Valero is committed to providing each member of the Emergency Response Team the opportunity to attend training necessary for developing and maintaining the skills and knowledge required to be an ERT member. During training, ERT members prepare for a variety of scenarios, expand their skills, share information from experience and mentor new members. At each site, the ERT maintains strong relationships with local community response personnel by participating in joint drills and assessments.
Frequent ERT training exercises promote excellent response readiness.

Valero takes pride in being a good neighbor and protecting the environment, and in being a safe, reliable operator and sharing our success through volunteerism.
