There are more than 250 references to required training in 40 CFR. In today’s regulatory environment, meeting EPA requirements for internal environmental training programs is not only a legal necessity but also a strategic advantage. This session will provide an outline of environmental training mandates under various regulatory areas, how to locate and determine which regulations apply to a facility, and proven training strategies and pitfalls.
Attendees will learn how these programs can enhance compliance, reduce environmental risks, and promote a culture of environmental responsibility within their organizations. The presentation will reveal the essential components of an effective training program, including content development, delivery methods, and assessment techniques. Real-world examples will illustrate how companies have successfully integrated these programs, as well as common mistakes to avoid. By the end of the session, environmental managers will be prepared to improve the design and implementation of training initiatives that not only meet EPA standards but also drive environmental stewardship.
