CCAR Aligns with OSHA

(signed February 17, 2004; renewed September 12, 2006; renewed August 4, 2008)

Through the Alliance, OSHA and CCAR will provide CCAR affiliates and others in the automotive industry, including but not limited to youth and Spanish-speaking workers, with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect employees’ health and safety, particularly by focusing on electrical safety and on reducing and preventing exposure to hexavalent chromium, asbestos and automotive lifts hazards. The Alliance’s goals include:

Outreach and communication:

  • Work with OSHA to provide expertise in developing information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards, and to provide expertise in developing ways of communicating such information (e.g. print and electronic media, electronic assistance tools and OSHA’s and CCAR’s Web sites) to employers and employees in the industry.
  • Speak, exhibit, or appear at OSHA’s or CCAR’s conferences, local meetings, or other events such as the International Autobody Congress and Exposition (NACE), the International Midas Dealers Association (IMDA), the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), the Motorist Assurance Program (MAP), the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR), and the Western Regional Pollution Prevention Network.
  • Share information among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding CCAR’s best practices or effective approaches and publicize results through outreach by CCAR and through OSHA- or CCAR-developed materials, training programs, workshops, seminars, and lectures (or any other applicable forum).
  • Work with other Alliance participants on specific issues and projects that are addressed and developed through the Alliance Program.

Promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health:

  • Convene or participate in forums, roundtable discussions, or stakeholder meetings on topics such as workplace vehicle safety, abrasive wheel machinery, hexavalent chromium, and ergonomics to help forge innovative solutions in the workplace or to provide input on safety and health issues.
