Environmental, Health, and Safety Training at EWI

At Environmental Works, environmental compliance is what we were founded on, and it continues to be one of our biggest service lines today. When your business is working to stay compliant, annual training is the key to maintaining an impeccable record and avoiding fines. Of course, you and your employees have a lot going on – which is why all of our environmental, health, and safety training classes are now available online. With a flexible curriculum for organizations of all sizes, our online training checks every box when it comes to fulfilling annual training commitments or educating new hires.

Environmental, Health, and Safety Training

Importance of Annual Environmental Training

Falling behind on your annual training can lead to a variety of outcomes, none of them pleasant. First, neglecting your annual training could lead to fines from regulatory agencies. It could also lead to a temporary or extended business shutdown. Most importantly, it could lead to the injury or death of one of your employees. We understand that, while annual training is important, it can also be hard to fit into your schedule. That’s where our online training comes into play.

Perks of Online Environmental Training

Your coworkers and employees have a lot of work to do – work that can make it difficult to attend in-person training classes. For that reason, we now offer all of our classes online. You can complete our online training classes at your own pace, logging in and logging off when it suits you. You can also complete our classes from anywhere using your desktop, mobile device, or iPad, so you don’t have to waste valuable time commuting to our training center. Finally, with the help of our Virtual Task Manager (VTM), we can save your completion certificates so you don’t have to worry about keeping track of them. We can also set up reminders through VTM so you never miss a training update. For example, we can send out a reminder 160 days before your training deadline so that you can fit the course into your busy schedule at your convenience.

Our Training Courses

We offer a full catalog of online and on-site environmental, health, and safety training classes.

40-Hour HAZWOPER

This class is mandatory for workers who may be exposed to hazardous substances. This includes workers involved in clean-up operations, voluntary clean-up operations, emergency response, and the storage or treatment of hazardous substances. This class covers the dangers inherent to hazardous waste and safe handling procedures.

24-Hour HAZWOPER

Do your workers participate in clean-up operations involving hazardous waste? This class is for them.

8-Hour HAZWOPER

This course meets the requirements for eight hours of annual refresher training for individuals who have already taken the 40- or 24-hour HAZWOPER training class.

Universal Waste Management Training

This two-hour course is designed for a wide variety of industry professionals who handle universal waste. The class covers correct identification, storage, and disposal techniques.

RCRA General Awareness Hazardous Waste Training

This two-hour course covers the basics of different types of regulated wastes and proper handling. This is not a substitute for 40 or 24-hour HAZWOPER training; however, it is specifically designed to provide a general awareness of RCRA regulations, employee responsibilities, and waste recognition.

Annual Stormwater Training

This class is intended to help industrial facilities maintain compliance with their National Pollution Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permit and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs). Additionally, this class will satisfy the employee training requirements in accordance with stormwater permits issued by state or federal environmental regulatory agencies.
