FIX Auto Adopts CCAR S/P2 Training
The Coordinating Committee For Automotive Repair (CCAR) has announced that the FIX Auto, a Performance Based Network in the collision repair industry, has adopted CCAR’s “S/P2” online training in Safety and Pollution Prevention.Established in 1997 and headquartered in Anaheim Hills, Calif., FIX Auto has more than 150 locations in the U.S. With an additional 130 locations in Canada, FIX Auto is North America’s largest network of independent collision repair centers.
“S/P2 assures us that FIX facilities are aware of the OSHA and EPA laws,” said Ron Guilliams, Director of Quality Assurance for FIX Auto. “We want to know that our employees and policyholders enter facilities that strive to be compliant.”
“Working together, we can reduce injuries, illnesses, liabilities, as well as damage to the environment,” Guilliams added. “FIX Auto wants to be ahead of the industry in adopting the S/P2 training.”
“S/P2” is CCAR’s Internet-based training to address key safety and pollution prevention issues for automotive service and collision repair professionals. S/P2 was developed by CCAR in concurrence with U.S. EPA and OSHA standards, which require that shop personnel be trained at least annually on safety and environmental regulations.
“We are proud to be associated with a conscientious leader in industry endeavors like FIX Auto,” said Robert G. Stewart, CCAR President. “We look forward to working with FIX Auto members to address safety and environmental issues through the use of S/P2, which can be changed and delivered instantly to address differing state requirements and changing laws.”
S/P2 is available for a $299 annual subscription per facility. CCAR also provides S/P2 free of charge to automotive training schools. For both businesses and schools, the S/P2 program tracks technician/student progress through the training, evaluates tests, and provides printable certificates of completion.
CCAR, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, also operates “CCAR-GreenLink,” the National Environmental Compliance Assistance Center for Automotive Repair, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA].
