HazTrain

What HazTrain does

HazTrain is a woman-owned small business headquartered in Waldorf, Maryland, founded in 1983 to deliver hazardous waste management and environmental health and safety training. The company operates with 11-50 employees and has trained more than 250,000 students over four decades. Its core customer base is the federal government, anchored by the Department of Defense (Naval Air Station Whiting Field, various NAVSEA Commands, Air Force Bases) and the Environmental Protection Agency, with additional institutional clients such as Florida State College.

The company delivers instruction across three modalities: online self-paced courses via its EnviroSpectrum platform priced at $149 per student, customized on-site training under individual quotes, and environmental consulting engagements. Course content spans hazardous waste operations, emergency response, DOT hazmat, OSHA standards, environmental management, and incident command frameworks (HSPD-5/NIMS, Maryland Controlled Hazardous Substance Driver). Complementing the training business, HT Systems is an engineering R&D arm producing hardware for defense applications, representing a diversification away from pure services revenue.

HazTrain monetizes through three revenue streams — professional training services, environmental management consulting, and HT Systems hardware sales. Access to federal procurement is secured via GSA Schedule (GS-10F-0143K), SeaPort-E (N00178-07-D-5086, awarded 2007), and continuous EPA External Provider certification since 1993. Geographic reach extends across U.S. military installations and select international training engagements in Australia and Iwakuni, Japan. Leadership consists of President Timothy J. Czysz and Director of Training & Customer Service Lori M. Quill.
