CUPA Inspections for Metal Finishers: What to Expect, How to Prepare, How to Respond – September 9

Continuing Education Webinar – via Go-To-Webinar or Call-in

Speaker: Bruce Armbruster, EHS Practice Director, 909-477-7103

Metal finishing facilities face a unique set of regulatory obligations under California’s Unified Program, and a single overlooked accumulation date or missing manifest can turn a routine visit into a costly finding. This session, developed for California Metal Finishing Association members, gives plant managers and EHS staff a practical, plain-language walkthrough of what a Certified Unified Program Agency inspector actually looks for during a facility visit.

Topics include hazardous materials business plan basics, hazardous waste generator status, tank and container management, and the tiered permitting rules that govern onsite cyanide and chromium treatment — the areas where metal finishers most often run into trouble.

Attendees will leave with a clear picture of which programs apply to their operation, a step-by-step protocol for handling an inspector’s arrival and the visit itself, and a ready-to-use recordkeeping form to document any future agency inspection.

Whether your facility has never been inspected or is due for a routine visit, this training turns regulatory uncertainty into a concrete, repeatable readiness plan
