Paving the way to compliance

Article Abstract:

Chemical process industries (CPI) companies can choose among several computer-based training (CBT) packages to ingrain environmental-regulations compliance into their employees. CPI companies can also turn to an automated environment that allows for continuous learning, which has the advantage of giving operators a chance to learn at their own pace. To keep CPI companies updated on the latest environmental regulations, electronic versions of the regulations are available in the market, including CD-ROM products from Solutions Software Corp. and Fast Search Corp.
