Staff Development
The environmental field is a rapidly changing field with new governmental regulations and new technology emerging on a daily basis. Wightman Environmental, Inc. believes it is extremely important to keep their staff as up to date as possible with respect to new developments in the environmental field. Each employee of Wightman Environmental, Inc. has completed a 40-hour training course in Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER). This training is updated every year with and 8-hour HAZWOPER Refresher Course.
In an effort to stay abreast of all of the environmental regulations and new technologies, Wightman Environmental, Inc. assists our staff by requiring the employees to spend time each week reviewing the appropriate scientific journals (Ground Water, Ground Water Monitoring Review, Water Well Journal, Ground Water Monitor, Michigan Underground Storage Tank, and Michigan Waste Report). We have a complete library of soils, geologic, and Hydrogeologic references for the Great Lakes Region. The staff utilizes computer programs for simulations, solving complex ground water flow regimes and design. Copies of all applicable federal and state regulations and ASTM Standards are maintained in the library, and the company continually receives updates for all federal and state regulations and ASTM Standards.
Each employee of Wightman Environmental, Inc. is required to attend a minimum of one seminar per year related to environmental law, cleanup technology, or a related field. Recent seminars our staff has attended include topics regarding environmental site assessments, environmental liability, remediation of leaking underground storage tanks, wetland determination and delineation processes, and design of solid waste disposal facilities.
