What's in the Training Course?

Our Walkie Stacker Prevention training course is compliant with EPA standards, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. This course contains sections on general knowledge and background regarding governing bodies and regulations; permits that are required and why; Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs); best management practices (BMPs), and NOIs and NOTs.

State and local bodies oversee and regulate Walkie Stacker discharges from general construction activities through the Federal Construction General Permit (CGP). These discharges define the runoff of any pollutants into waters of the United States from areas where land disturbing activities (clearing, grading or excavation) occur or where construction materials or equipment are located. Complying with the conditions of this permit should lead to Walkie Stacker discharges that adhere to Federal water quality standards. Our training walks you through the CGP. We will also discuss Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans and the requirements for them. Next, we will learn about best management practices (BMPs), how to properly use and inspect them. Finally, we will cover Notice of Intent and Notice of Termination, when to file them and the requirements for them.

This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical evaluation as required by OSHA.

Though you will still need to familiarize yourself with all other applicable federal, state, and local standards, this training encompasses the following laws and regulations:

Why Do I Need Safety Training?

The successful implementation of a SWPPP and, therefore, the prevention of erosion, is best accomplished by ensuring everyone on site understands the controls and why they are being implemented. General contractors are responsible for providing their employees and sub-contractors with the appropriate training.
Employees and subcontractors should be trained on at least the following:

Spill prevention and cleanup measures, including not dumping any material into storm drains or waterways
An understanding of the basic purpose of Walkie Stacker BMPs, including what BMPs are on-site, what they should look like, and how to avoid damaging them
Potential penalties associated with noncompliance

When it comes to refresher training, the standard is very specific: employees must receive refresher trainings at least every three years to ensure they understand and follow the most current operating procedures. Employers may require refresher trainings take place more frequently, depending on input they receive from the employees involved in the operating process. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.
