CCAR-GreenLink Adds EPA Paint Rule Training Video to Website
The Coordinating Committee For Automotive Repair (CCAR) has posted a new “Paint Rule” training video featuring NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon on the CCAR-GreenLink(R) Environmental Compliance Assistance Center website in streaming video format.CCAR-GreenLink is the National Environmental Compliance Assistance Center for Auto Repair, operated by CCAR in cooperation with the U.S. EPA, and available free of charge at www.ccar-greenlink.org. The CCAR-GreenLink site is recognized globally as a leading source of environmental compliance and pollution prevention information for automotive operations.
The new training video, featuring NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, is an outreach effort from the EPA’s “Collision Repair Campaign,” an effort to reduce auto body emissions at the national level based on recent EPA regulations applying to Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) in collision shop paint operations, also known as the “Paint Rule.”
“The EPA’s new video is an informative and entertaining look into the national Paint Rule and how it will affect painting operations at collision shops in the near future,” said Rod Enlow, CCAR Vice President of Industry Relations. “I encourage everyone in the auto body repair industry to take a look at the video and other resources cited on the CCAR-GreenLink site.”
The Coordinating Committee For Automotive Repair, established in 1994, is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose 200+ affiliates represent all segments of the automotive industry. CCAR’s mission is to work with the industry around the world, with career/technical schools, governments and other organizations to provide best practice information and training, and to measure improvements related to:
