Environmental compliance is no longer optional — it’s a critical operational, financial, and legal priority for every facility that manufactures, processes, transports, or disposes of regulated materials. Environmental regulators are imposing stricter controls on air emissions, water discharges, hazardous waste handling, greenhouse gas reporting, and site contamination.
This course provides practical, real-world strategies for navigating complex environmental regulatory frameworks. Participants will learn to identify applicable environmental requirements, secure necessary permits, monitor emissions, handle inspections and enforcement actions, and build an effective compliance management system that withstands regulatory scrutiny. The course focuses on U.S. federal and state regulations but integrates best practices for international operations as well.
