EPA Outreach Trainer Course

Environmental compliance is the responsibility of all workers. The challenge is communicating and integrating environmental compliance into operations. Attendance and successful completion of this trainer course will provide the tools and the curriculum for course attendees to teach the EPA 8-Hour Environmental Hazard Awareness course. During the course, EPA topics will be reviewed and training techniques presented, to promote environmental awareness among workers and equip them to better protect human health and environmental resources.

Various instructional approaches including the effective use of visual aids and handouts are covered, with course participants working in groups or independently to practice presentations of selected topics.

Successful completion of this course and the final examination will allow the participant to be recognized by The University of Texas at Arlington as an EPA Outreach Trainer with a wallet card provided to identify the trainer's status, which will be valid for three (3) years.

Note: Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop to work on presentation materials.
