Do you know that you can cut your VOC and HAP emissions, hazardous waste and overall operating costs by up to 40% without spending a dime? Are you incurring unnecessarily high hazardous waste costs on your waste paint, solvents and spray booth filters? Are you confident that you are getting reliable VOC/HAP and inorganic HAP information from your MSDS? Have your vendors taught you how to measure compliance on HVLP spray guns? Are you aware of the intricacies of recordkeeping that inspectors look for?
This program will provide you with all the information and training you will ever need to keep your facility in compliance with all air pollution control regulations. After taking this class you will feel confident applying for permits and negotiating permit conditions with federal, state and local agencies.
Most EPA and state agencies studied it. Hundreds of environmental coordinators, environmental consultants, plant managers, and environmental lawyers were trained with it. Several hundred spray painters, paint foremen, and supervisors have learned from it.
