GES provides HSSE Training Tailored to the Environmental Industry

Health and safety training is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Standard [29 CFR 1910.120 (e)] for individuals who perform environmental assessments and cleanup activities.  Currently many companies use the lowest price provider for annual refresher; however, they discover that the course materials do not reflect their business standards or operations and, it is not worth their staff’s time. Groundwater & Environmental Services, Inc. (GES) now offers existing and welcomed new clients, subcontractors, and strategic partners convenient and cost-effective online HAZWOPER and other health and safety training courses. Our safety courses are developed by a Certified Industrial Hygienist and in-house environmental health and safety professionals to not only meet OSHA requirements but also be relevant to your operations. Even the provided “examples” used during training have been developed with your business, safety guidelines, and facility hazards in mind. Your staff will retain and apply what they learn at a GES training class to keep your staff and job site safe.

GES offers a variety of pertinent safety training programs delivered through state-of-the-art video conferencing technology. Training is presented by our in-house HSSE professionals who are subject matter experts knowledgeable of your company’s safety requirements and your operations.  Choose one of our scheduled “open to the public” group training dates or call to set up a session just for your firm. For an additional fee, we can conduct an in-person training event. Following each training, GES will provide a training certificate to each attendee indicating that the person has satisfied the training requirement.
