About Us
National Environmental Trainers® is a full-service compliance education solution for individuals and/or corporations. The company is comprised of highly skilled professionals from the environmental and instructional design disciplines. We constantly research and experiment with new instructional designs to bring you state-of-the-art courses. Many of our clients state that we provide a "dynamic and rewarding training experience". Based on the large number of well satisfied clients, we believe that we offer the finest in web-based training today. Our company is privately held with headquarters located in Augusta, Georgia.
In the mid 90s, we were the first to recognize the potential market in web-based training. After years of award-winning environmental experience largely with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, we decided to set our sights on designing, developing and providing the highest quality possible in Web-based Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) training. In 1996, we offered our first web-based course. It was the first time that any EH&S training course was posted for commercial use on the Internet.
Our success took us into some of the largest companies in America. In 1999, the largest provider of traditional classroom training (General Physics) was launching a Virtual University and sought our help in the development and delivery of Web-based EH&S training.
As our company grew, different markets emerged and competitors began offering Web-based EH&S Training. One of the advantages of being first in this market is that we have stayed on the cutting edge of this new technology.
Since 1996, we have trained thousands of people from various industries requiring EH&S training. We have also trained officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States Coast Guard, (USCG) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
If you have experienced the Web-based training developed by our competitors, or you have been asked to evaluate web-based training by your company, please try our training and services. We believe that you will be glad that you did.
OSHA Accepts our HAZWOPER Hands-on Simulator®
In an interpretation letter dated February 4, 2009 OSHA stated that our exclusive HAZWOPER Hands-on Simulator® is acceptable when used in conjunction with site specific training. Site specific hands-on training on the actual equipment an employee will be using is required for both online training and public seminar (open enrollment) classroom training. (If you thought you met the OSHA requirements by sending your employees offsite to a public seminar training class, please read the detailed explanation below). Employers can now train their employees online for the 40 or 24 hour HAZWOPER courses and then conduct site specific hands-on training on the actual equipment an employee will be using in their job.
