TUSTIN, CA, August 26, 2011 /Education PR News/ -- The University of California, Irvine Extension today announced the launch of Multi-media Environmental Compliance, a new, online course developed to enhance participants' understanding of environmental compliance programs.

"Businesses today expect their environmental, health and safety professionals to understand the drivers for multi-media environmental compliance," said Dave Dimas, Ph.D., director of Engineering, Sciences and Information Technology at UC Irvine Extension. "Participants will acquire the necessary skills to comply with the applicable laws and regulations, avoid fines and notices of violations, and manage programs using the most up-to-date methods and procedures."
"Multi-media Environmental Compliance" will provide an overview of regulatory programs for air, water and hazardous water. Dr. Schwerdtfeger will discuss regulatory applicability determinations, reporting, permitting, payment of fees and the creation of a compliance calendar. Course participants will also learn about record retention and organization, environmental management systems, audits and personnel issues. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to understand, organize, and implement a multi-media compliance program.
Dr. Schwerdtfeger is an award-winning businesswoman, who recently received a business achievement award from the Environmental Business Journal. A specialist in environmental studies and permitting and development of compliance strategies and programs, she has worked for Fortune 100 companies, the federal government and municipalities for over 24 years.
