Introduction |
This is the fifteenth annual HAZMACON and we are pleased to have had the privilege of providing quality environmental management workshops and training to the Bay Area, Northern California and the West Coast. Environmental services and management are now undergoing profound change. No longer do businesses fear environmental regulation and many have regulatory compliance under control. Environmental management is now evolving to be an integral process in business operations. Global competitiveness mandates efficient operations and global environmental sensitivity. To help our businesses meet these challenges, HAZMACON has reorganized our program and brings to you the Western Environment & Business Initiative workshops. We also provide a full schedule of regulatory briefings and training courses. Finally, you may visit our exhibitors and find just the right technology or service to meet your needs.
