In memory of our founder
Norma Stanford, who started GST back in 1988. Her clients loved her and cherished seeing her each year as she brought much love and joy to the classroom atmosphere. We love and appreciate all she meant to GST, the environmental industry, and us.
GST Environmental was originally founded by Norma Stanford in 1988 right around the time when Asbestos started to become regulated. We have been serving the Tri-State area for more than 30 years now and continue to provide the best service possible to our clients. Our goal is to present our students with the best training possible on how to protect themselves, and others from hazards like Asbestos, Lead, Silica, etc. GST is a family owned and operated business, and you will quickly experience that when attending one our training’s. We primarily conduct our courses at our training facility in Warrendale, PA, however we are always open to traveling based on the needs of our customers!
