Register: Environmental Data Management Seminar

Environmental work generates an overwhelming amount of data—field measurements, lab results, weather feeds, and continuous monitoring from treatment systems. The challenge isn’t collecting information; it’s transforming it into confident, timely decisions. As technology accelerates, stakeholders expect answers now, and the pressure to be faster and smarter keeps rising.

High‑quality decisions start with high‑quality data. That means clear planning, well‑defined data quality objectives, and consistent procedures to verify that the information you’re relying on is accurate and usable. But even the best data loses value if it’s trapped in disconnected systems. Effective data exchange—making information accessible, shareable, and trustworthy—is essential. When done well, it’s efficient, repeatable, and preserves data integrity. When done poorly, it leads to gaps, mismatches, and uncertainty about where the data even came from.

This seminar explores how to manage environmental data with purpose: how to collect it wisely, ensure its quality, and move it seamlessly across systems so it can actually drive decisions. Our expert panel will help answer questions like:

How do we overcome resistance to adopting digital field data collection, and ensure we don’t lose data when it’s collected digitally?

What are the considerations for data access, control and security when sharing databases across multiple agencies, platforms, and stakeholder groups?
What’s the best way to handle using several analytical laboratories, each with a different electronic data deliverable (EDD)?
Our company wants to invest in environmental data management. What’s the best place to start?

This seminar will be Q&A style, with lots of interaction from the audience, so come prepared with all your EDMS questions. And after lunch, our location host, Teklab Analytical, will lead a tour of their new laboratory facility.

2027 HAZWOPER Training - 40 hour course (and 8 hr training) (11 Jan 2027)

Mon, 11 Jan 2027 14:00:00 GMT

MWCC will provide an in-person 40-hour HAZWOPER Training consistent with OSHA's Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard (29 CFR 1910.10 and 1925.65). Students will receive a training manual, and at the conclusion of the course, they will receive validation certificates.

Registration fee per registrant is the low cost of $300; $100 for full-time students. Class is limited to the first 50 participants. A waiting list will be available in the event of cancellations.

In addition, a one of the days will be eligible for the 8-hour training at a fee of $50. This registration is limited to 15 participants.

At the conclusion of this course, the participant will be able to:

Understand the crucial role of OSHA in ensuring workplace safety and learn how to navigate its regulations and requirements effectively.

Employ techniques to identify hazards in their environment, utilizing Site Characterization to detect problems and implement hazard elimination strategies.

Gain expertise in identifying, handling, and mitigating exposure to hazardous materials through the proficient use of Safety Data Sheets (SDS).

Deepen their knowledge of materials that pose flammable, explosive, chemical, or radiological risks and learn the symptoms and preventative measures of exposure.

Understand the importance of PPE in minimizing exposure to hazards, and how to select and use the correct PPE for different work zone characteristics.

Establish effective Site Control Programs to protect workers and develop comprehensive emergency response strategies.

Learn to develop and implement essential health and safety programs, including Medical Surveillance Programs and Site Security measures.

Master the principles of decontamination, understand toxicology as it relates to chemical exposures, and identify the steps for any Hazard Communication Program.

Acquire skills in air monitoring and understand the confined space permit system, recognizing the hazards and medical concerns associated with confined spaces.

Engage in detailed discussions on potentially hazardous situations involving corrosives, solvents,oxidizers, reactive chemicals, radiation hazards, and the principles of emergency management.

As indicated, this class will be offered in-person.
