Their is no single "person" who makes oil spills happen. They typically tend to happen due to overall human error, poor planing, old or outdated equipment, nature, natural disasters, and "acts of god" which is coined by insurance companies as "events outside of human control." Typically when an oil spill happens the company that either owns the oil or the delivery company-if a third party-is to blame for the spill.
