Our 2-Day Underground and Aboveground (UST/AST) Storage Tank training course is valuable for those responsible for purchasing, installing, or managing tanks. This course has been continually enhanced since it was launched in 2012.
Maintain Underground and Aboveground Tank Compliance.
Storage of fuel, oil, chemicals, wastes, and other materials in tanks is subject to detailed and stringent requirements. Changing regulations and the overlapping requirements of various agencies, regulatory programs, and industry standards further complicate compliance management.
Facility and tank owners are responsible for full regulator compliance, even when installation, service, and inspections are contracted. Designed for those responsible for overall environmental regulatory compliance or for purchasing, managing, or conducting routine owner-level inspections of underground and aboveground storage tanks, our Tanks Compliance Manager™ course will provide you with the information you need to successfully manage tanks of all types and maintain compliance with the sometimes overlapping requirements of the EPA, OSHA, local fire marshals, and industry consensus standards.
