TEEX Environmental Focus
Hazardous Waste Management
The
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) required the
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a comprehensive program to manage hazardous wastes from cradle to grave in an effort ensure that hazardous waste is handled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. These courses are intended to provide training required by the EPA for those employees whose duties involve the handling, storage, transport, management or disposal of hazardous waste generated by their employer.
Stormwater Management
The
Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) stormwater permits, one component of the TPDES program, regulate stormwater discharges from industrial activities, construction activities, and municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) to Texas waters.
HAZWOPER & Spill Response
These courses consist of both lecture and hands-on training exercises. A wide array of personal protective equipment, monitoring equipment and other emergency response equipment is available for student use.
CHMM & REM Certification
Many Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) and Registered Environmental Manager (REM) candidates find it beneficial to take the TEEX four-day Hazardous Materials Management Survey (HMMS) course (ENV209) prior to taking the exam. As a Kryterion testing center, upon successful conclusion of the class, participants have the opportunity to take the REM test the same week.
