CCAR Completes Comprehensive Review of S/P2 Training for Auto Repair Industry

S/P2 addresses key safety and pollution prevention issues for automotive repair professionals – as well as students preparing to enter the industry – in both mechanical service and collision repair. CCAR developed S/P2 to correspond with U.S. EPA and OSHA standards, which require that shop personnel and students be trained before entering the workplace and at least annually on safety and environmental regulations.

As with the S/P2 training, much of the review process was conducted and tabulated online, and participants represented a cross-section of collision industry interests.

“The review process captures important information pertinent to individual categories,” said Rod Enlow, CCAR Director of Industry Relations. “The reviewer’s expertise allows the S/P2 training to be more valuable for their respective industry segments, as well as provide a path for continuous improvement.”

The updates resulting from the annual review are expected to be in place for S/P2 business users by the end of March.

CCAR provides S/P2 free of charge to automotive training programs (both mechanical service and collision repair) in all 50 states, and more than 2,400 schools and over 200,000 students currently have access to the training.

For repair operations, S/P2 is available for a $299 annual subscription per facility, which allows a shop to conduct an unlimited amount of training during the year. 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(R),” the National Environmental Compliance Assistance Center for Automotive Repair, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA].
