Asbestos Awareness Training

The Environmental Compliance Training Staff includes trainers certified to teach Asbestos, Lead, HAZMAT, and OSHA 10 & 30 hour safety, Certified Site Surveillance Technicians, OSHA Safety Supervisors, CDPH Lead Workers, Project Monitors and Supervisors.

ECT Environmental, Inc. was originated as Environmental Compliance Training in San Diego, California in 1993 when Walter Amenta, CIH, developed an EPA approved training organization for certifying Asbestos workers, contractor/supervisors, inspectors, and other professionals as required by EPA to work in schools and by OSHA for worker protection. Mr. Amenta acquired his California Certified Asbestos Consultant license (CAC), progressed to Industrial Hygienist I.T. (IHIT), and then achieved his Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH).

He developed programs for Lead worker training, OSHA construction safety training, and Asbestos management plans for hospitals and facilities throughout Southern California.

When Cal-OSHA began regulating Asbestos training in California in 2000, ECT developed training programs now in use throughout the state. When the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) began regulating Lead training, ECT became a full service Lead training provider.

ECT Environmental, Inc. is an environmental and industrial hygiene practice that provides field and laboratory analysis of building environments and employee work practices.

The general practice allows us to evaluate health stressors within the work place and to prescribe appropriate environmental controls. Our specific talents have been groomed for the reduction of work-place hazards associated with construction activities within government facilities and hospitals.

Our laboratory participates in the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) Proficiency Analytical Testing (PAT) for the evaluation of air-borne Asbestos fibers. Our nationally accredited laboratory for the evaluation of Asbestos bulk samples is NVLAP certified.
