Our Instructors
Our courses have been developed by Paul Gantt, President, Safety Compliance Management, who along with his team of instructors provides training programs around the country to major corporations as well as the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. You may read about our instructors’ qualifications here. Once you sign on, Paul or another of the Remote Instructors™ monitor your progress and answer any questions that you have along the way. Take advantage of our Remote Instructor™ concept and learn important lessons that will help to make you safer in your job. Using this unique feature helps to satisfy the requirements of OSHA for online or e-learning programs. Don’t be caught short with programs that don’t satisfy OSHA’s increasingly restrictive requirements.
The ABAG Training Center was created by the 
Association of Bay Area Governments to lessen the burdens of government and improve government efficiency by educating government officials, employees and the public on government regulations and programs, and by improving intergovernmental communication and citizen access, through informational publications, training, conferences, expositions, computer networks, telecommunications, and continuing technical education. As the technical skill level requirements of government and private sector employees converge, the ABAG Training Center is there to provide the education. We meet the needs of the working professional, emphasizing practical application and providing hands-on training programs that give you and your staff the skills needed to get the job done efficiently and competitively.
The ABAG Training Center has been providing courses since 1979 and hazardous materials training since 1984 starting with our first HAZMACON Exposition. The Online Hazmat School was created in 1999 to provide online hazardous waste and hazardous materials training to fully comply with OSHA requirements. Classes include hazardous waste operations, general hazardous materials and industrial safety training for busy, time-constrained professionals. Custom courses available to corporate clients.
