4 Hours to 8 Hours
This Storm Water
Pollution Prevention (SWP2) Training Seminar is designed to provide students with a better understanding of
SWP2 as required under their National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The Clean Water

substances, and operations occurring outside the manufacturing facility. Training will include:
(1) What is SWP2, (2) Point Source and Non-Point Source Pollution, (3) Requirements for SWP2, (4) What Can I Do To
Prevent SWP2, (5) Spill Prevention, Response, and Cleanup, and (6) Good Housekeeping and Materials Management.
This Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWP3) Development Training Seminar is designed to educate and assist those individuals responsible for
storm water management with the information and resources to develop, implement, and maintain a storm water management program
in accordance with their facilities NPDES individual or group permit requirements. The training will
include the requirements behind the development of the SWP3, required contents of the SWP3, and maintenance of the SWP3.
Areas of training will include: (1) Responsibilities
of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team; (2) Development
of Required Site Maps and Drawings; (3) Inventory
of Materials Exposed to Storm Water; (4) Description
of Significant Materials posed to Storm Water; (5) Identification of Past Spills and Leaks; (6) Storm Water Monitoring and NPDES Permit Requirements; (7)Identification of Pollutant Sources; (8) Identification

FOCUS ON INDOOR AIR QUALITY AND MOLD AWARENESS TRAINING
Course Duration: 4 Hours
This Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and Mold Awareness Training Seminar is designed to provide students with
a better understanding of our indoor environments and what contaminants are typically encountered indoors and how to control
or prevent the spread of those contaminants. With the ever-increasing awareness and concern over
mold contamination and exposure this training seminar will also focus specifically on this important issue and help dispel
some of the myths surrounding black mold and toxic mold. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has yet
to pass any federal regulations or standards, but did release a Safety and Health Information Bulletin, “A Brief Guide
to Mold in the Workplace”, in October 2003. In this bulletin OSHA refers to the General Duty Clause,
Section 5(a)(1), requiring employers to provide their employees with a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause
death or serious physical harm. Exposure to mold may present a health hazard. Prevention
of mold growth and proper cleanup will be discussed in detail in this seminar. There is more and more evidence everyday that the quality of the indoor environment
can have profound effects on the health of building occupants. The World Health Organization estimates
that up to 30 percent of office buildings worldwide may have significant problems, with 10 to 30 percent of the occupants
experiencing adverse health symptoms. Indoor air contaminants may originate from a variety of sources inside or outside of a building.
Airborne chemicals, poor maintenance on the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, bacteria, fungi,
pollen, building renovations, and dust may all contribute to the problem, as well as non-air quality factors such as temperature,
humidity, lighting, noise, stress, and pre-existing health conditions.
Areas of training will include:
Understanding
and Managing Indoor Air Quality - History of Indoor Air Quality
- Air Contaminants
- Types of Aerosols
- Environmental Allergens
- How
Contaminants Affect the Body
- How to Control Indoor
Environments
- Employee Complaints - “Sick
Building Syndrome”

Investigation
- Mold Awareness
(The Buzz About Fuzz)
- Regulatory Update
- What is Mold and How Does it Start
- How to Prevent
Mold Growth
