Your newest inspector has started today, with clean boots, a mud-free vehicle, and a brand-new degree or certificate. They are ready to dive into the world of erosion and sediment control and stormwater compliance, but how are you going to prepare them for all of the intricacies of this industry? Inspectors serve a vital role in the compliance process for all active sites, and the need for highly trained, qualified and knowledgeable stormwater and erosion and sediment control inspectors grows every day. During this discussion, we will be diving into how we as an industry can create consistent training at the base level for all inspectors, and how government agencies and private sector companies are tackling training that fits the rules, regulations, processes, geography and weather for their state and region.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, attendees will:
  • Increase understanding of the multiple steps that it takes to become a qualified inspector and how to implement those steps in a regulatory or private sector inspections program.
  • Evaluate the differences between a Qualified Inspector and an Inspector by improving understanding of the metrics for defining the Qualified Inspector role.
  • Contemplate how a Qualified Inspector training program can help regulatory or private sector inspections program goals to achieving overall environmental compliance.
