It wasn’t that long ago when conducting business was a much simpler process. The largest concerns regarding training were: “Can we invest the time”, “Will they leave for other job opportunities if we do”, and “Can we afford to train them?” In today’s industry, the answer is that you can’t afford to not train your employees. Our industry is under a magnifying glass and an equipment breakdown, unwanted emission, employee injury, or hazardous spill could involve any number of response entities from the local fire department to the EPA. Huge fines are being levied and multi-million dollar Class-Action lawsuits are being filed. It is simply cheaper to train than to not train.
