HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSULTING SERVICES

WC Environmental performs physical inspections and program audits covering EPA, OSHA, and DOT regulations.  All inspections and audits are confidential, and are completed by a certified professional with significant experience in dealing with worker safety, air quality, water quality, hazardous waste and associated regulations.  Costs are based on the size of the facility and the type of operation.  

OSHA requires training to meet a wide variety of worker safety standards, including hazard communication, the laboratory standard, bloodborne pathogens, chemical exposures, respiratory protection, lock out/tag out, emergency response, forklift operation, and confined space entry.  WC Environmental offers courses and workshops at your facility or ours which are designed to meet your specific needs.  All training is performed by a certified professional.  HAZWOPER training is offered with flexible scheduling for the 8 hour refresher, 24 hour on-site, and 40 hour responder levels.

EPA requires training for all workers involved in managing hazardous wastes.  WC Environmental offers introductory and advanced workshops from one hour to 24 hours covering all RCRA and state environmental agency requirements for training.  Courses are designed to meet the needs of conditionally exempt small quantity generators, small quantity generators, and large generators.  WC Environmental’s certified professional trainer has over 25 years experience in RCRA compliance and can also provide a review of your program and/or a full compliance audit.

  WC Environmental, LLC offers a part-time environmental health & safety manager program for those facilities that can’t justify a full-time employee and the associated costs.   Based on your specific needs, we can provide anywhere between 4 and 20 hours per month of on-site and/or off-site work on regulatory compliance, inspections, written reports, training, or required plans, all at a fraction of the cost of a full-time employee.  WC Environmental carries a $1,000,000 professional liability policy from Lloyds of London which protects you from errors and omissions.
