Your Instructor
Business owners start companies to make money, not to become experts in environmental, health and safety regulations.
Ron Harvey has learned a few things about compliance during his 34 years in the hazardous waste business and he has seen the best and the worst compliance situations.
Often in his career, Ron has seen businesses where the people responsible for managing corporate environmental or safety programs have 2 or 3 other hats to wear, and the EHS hat never seems to end up on top. The result was neglected programs that are required by law for worker safety and environmental protection.
Ron has started on a mission to solve this common problem by bringing regulatory compliance within reach of the average business owner or manager who doesn’t have dedicated staff to build the safety or environmental programs from the ground up or even to handle the routine requirements.
His goal is to break down the walls of uncertainty that keep you from developing a culture of compliance that will have significant positive benefits for your company.
