Building Alliances to Provide Automotive Safety Training Classes

Through an Alliance Agreement, OSHA and CCAR provides its affiliates and others in the automotive industry with information, guidance and access to training resources that will help them protect their employees’ health and safety. The Alliance’s goals include working together to provide expertise in developing information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards.

Sponsored by EPA in partnership with industry and academic institutions, environmental groups, and other agencies, Compliance Assistance Centers help businesses, colleges and universities, local governments, tribes, and federal facilities understand and comply with federal environmental requirements and save money through pollution prevention techniques.

The North American Automotive HazMat Action Committee (NAAHAC), CCAR® and ShipMate™ have all worked together to create specific automotive dealer training programs to make dealers and their staff aware of the requirements of the handling and transportation of DOT hazardous materials. NAAHAC is also engaging the Hazardous Materials Training Group within the U.S. Department of Transportation to help with their review and support for the program.

OSHA: Committed to Meeting Automotive OSHA Safety Regulations

In 2004, CCAR and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) signed the first of several Alliance Agreements to develop best practices for those who work on or around vehicles to protect employees’ health and safety.

The latest Alliance renewal was signed in 2015 — for more information click here.

Since 1995, CCAR has operated CCAR-GreenLink®, a free, web-based service that provides a wide range of compliance and best practices information specifically for the auto repair industry. This National Environment Compliance Assistance Center for Auto Repair is in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
