Custom compliance training for field staff and environmental teams,
built around the specific rules and source
categories relevant to your operations.
We teach the equipment first, then the rule that applies to it
Most compliance training starts with the regulation and assumes people already know the equipment. That is backwards. A rule only makes sense once you understand the thing it was written about.
So our training runs in three steps.
First, how the sources work. Pneumatic controllers, storage tanks, compressor seals and rod packing, closed vent systems, thief hatches, PRVs, and flares. What each one does, why it emits, and what the difference is between normal operation and a problem. A controller that bleeds by design is not the same as one that is failing, and crews need to be able to tell them apart on sight.
Second, what the rule requires of that source. Once people understand the equipment, the regulation stops being abstract. Which standard applies, how often it has to be checked, what counts as compliance, and what records have to be kept.
Third, how to apply it in the field. This is where most programs break down. A monitoring frequency assumes access that a remote site does not have. A repair window assumes a component you can reach without a shutdown. Crews learn what to do when the written procedure does not fit the site in front of them, who to call, and how to document the decision so it holds up when someone reviews it years later.
All of it taught against your own monitoring plan, equipment list, and procedures.
Curriculum
Subpart W applicability and calculations, monitoring plan requirements, field data collection responsibilities, and what the annual cycle demands from each role, including current program status.
Survey procedures, leak determination, tagging, repair and resurvey workflow, delay-of-repair documentation, and the recordkeeping that determines whether the program survives an audit.
Practical training on NSPS OOOOb and EG OOOOc: fugitive monitoring, process controllers, storage vessels, closed vent systems, flaring and net heating value requirements, and how recent amendments changed the picture.
How quantification instruments work, what they can and cannot detect, sources of error, and how to collect data that will hold up. For operators building internal capability rather than outsourcing permanently.
The documentation side, taught as its own subject. Most compliance failures are records failures, and records are usually the part nobody is formally trained on.
Customized. We build the material around your applicable rules, your source categories, and your existing procedures. We do not run an off-the-shelf course.
Yes. Building internal capability is a common reason operators bring us in, and in many cases it is cheaper over time than ongoing outsourcing.
Half day to multiple days depending on audience and scope. Field technician procedural training is usually shorter and more hands-on; environmental staff training on applicability and reporting runs longer.
Yes, and it usually works better that way. Training delivered alongside a program build means people learn the procedure they are about to be responsible for.
Whether you're facing a new reporting requirement, planning a field measurement campaign, or navigating a shifting regulatory landscape, the right guidance early on saves time and reduces risk down the road. Schedule a free consultation and let's map out what your next project needs to succeed.
