GBK is currently offering 40hr Hazardous Waste Site Worker training in response to the continuing crisis with the Gulf of Mexico oil release, as well as a number of other safety training options.  Following the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989, nearly 7000 clean-up workers and volunteers were affected by exposure to the oil because of inadequate safety procedures and protective equipment. The symptoms of the exposure to the crude oil was termed the "Valdez Crud".  As oil starts to come ashore from the BP spill, help keep your workers protected from "Gulf Crud" by giving them the training they need.  GBK is an EPA External Provider with vast experience in emergency response training and our courses meet OSHA requirements under 29CFR1900.120 (HAZWOPER). Training is available in instructor-led and online formats depending upon demand. For details, send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Following the success of GBK’s Environmental Officer compliance training program in the IMCOM-Europe region, we have been awarded 10 additional weeks of providing compliance training through our contract partners, CDM.  The additional weeks will mostly be performed at garrison locations in Germany, with the possibility of training also in Italy, Netherlands and Belgium. Furthermore, under this award we will be providing our existing online training program in French.  This training is already being hosted in English, German and Italian languages.
