CCAR Surpasses 100,000 Tests Taken in S/P2 Training
The Coordinating Committee for Automotive Repair (CCAR) has announced that its S/P2 online training in Safety and Pollution Prevention has surpassed 100,000 tests completed.CCAR established S/P2 as an online training program to address the key safety and pollution prevention issues for professionals working in automotive service and collision repair. CCAR also offers S/P2 free of charge to automotive training programs at career/vocational schools and community colleges, and more than 850 school programs and 62,000 students across the country now have access to the S/P2 curriculum.
The 100,000th module of training on S/P2 was completed the week of August 18. S/P2 was introduced in January 2002.
CCAR developed S/P2 training over a two-year period in concurrence with U.S. EPA and OSHA standards, which require that shop personnel (and automotive students) be trained before starting work and at least annually on safety and environmental regulations. CCAR operates the National Environmental Compliance Assistance Center for Auto Repair, “CCAR-GreenLink,” in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
“Safety and Pollution Prevention education are crucial to efficiencies and costs in shops, in addition to the legal requirements,” said Robert G. Stewart, CCAR President. “Managers, front-line technicians and students must be safe and aware of the environmental issues before they enter the workplace, and S/P2 represents a standardized means to provide this important training.”
CCAR, a 501(c)(3) organization, provides S/P2 free of charge to any not-for-profit school. The program tracks students, grades tests and is constantly updated with federal and state laws. The business version of S/P2 is available for a $299 annual subscription per facility.
