One of our EHS students had this to say:
"I was an HSE administrative assistant who wanted a better understanding of the environmental regulations. Shortly after applying for this course, the HSE Manager was moved to another department - - and was not replaced. The plant I worked for was purchased by another company so we went through due diligence. When I started this course, I had no idea what lay ahead. But, it truly was a great aid to me in understanding many things during the transition.
It helped in guiding me to information needed to revise an SPCC Plan. I've used it as a guide to conduct PPE Hazard Assessments...revise the Hazcom training material at our plant...and I will continue to use this product as a guide in the coming weeks and months in other areas. Not only have I studied your course - - I've actually been living it!!!
Thanks so much... it's great material."
