 Animal care standards: a technical support document, published by IPIECA/OGP in 2017, serves as a reference to illustrate what should be considered as international 'standards of good practice' for animal protection and care in an oiled wildlife response.

This technical support document is designed to accompany the IPIECA/OGP guidance on wildlife response preparedness.

Wildlife response preparedness: Good practice guidelines for incident management and emergency response personnel, published by IPIECA/OGP in 2014, provides the latest information on preparing to respond to oil affected wildlife.

The Shetland oiled wildlife plan was written by the Shetland Oil Terminal Environmental Advisory Group (SOTEAG) through its Wildlife Response Co-ordinating Committee (WRCC). In 1990, the plan became an integral part of both the Sullom Voe Harbour oil spill response plan and the contingency plan for the whole of Shetland. The existence of the WRCC plan was crucial in mounting the response to the Braer incident in 1993. Each year the plan is reviewed by the WRCC.
