EHS Training Challenges & Trends

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 12, 2004 -- Old Saybrook, CT � August 12, 2004 � What environmental, health, and safety topics pose the greatest challenges to EHS trainers? Budgeting and time are easy to guess. But security from terrorism and violence are issues for which some companies may not be fully prepared.

In a recent survey, Business and Legal Reports, Inc. (BLR) and the National Environmental, Safety and Health Training Association (NESHTA) asked professionals involved in environmental, health, and safety (EHS) training to profile their responsibilities and current training practices, and the challenges they must overcome to effectively train employees. The survey found that the six most challenging EHS topics to prepare and present are 1) good management practices, 2) security from terrorism and workplace violence, 3) chemicals management, 4) hazard communication, 5) hazardous waste, and 6) emergency planning and response.



Time-pressed EHS trainers need a comprehensive environmental training program that tackles tough training topics. BLR�s Environmental Training Library on CD-ROM delivers ready-to-use PowerPoint� meetings on over 50 environmental training topics for all EPA, DOT, and OSHA training requirements.
