Wednesday September 14 2016 - EPA Webinar: The Resilient Business II

Does your business use hazardous chemicals? Could you cope with a major flood, snowstorm, or power failure? Surveys show that many small businesses have not prepared for disasters by taking precautions such as emergency planning, storing chemicals safely, obtaining adequate insurance, & arranging for emergency power. This is a series of two webinars. The first half of each webinar will show you how you can reduce your risk & save money by switching to less hazardous chemicals & reducing energy use. It will also explain the basics of state & federal regulations for managing hazardous wastes & materials. The second half of each webinar explores in more depth actions you can take at your business to improve your resilience. You can register for more than one session.
