Why do shops and schools need CCAR®’s products such as S/P2 anyway?

• To stay compliant.  This means to stay legal.  To do what the law says must be done.
• To protect the human being who works on and around hazardous materials and/or equipment
• To protect the environment
• To do the right thing for the school or company they own or work for.  This is a personal commitment much like the defense of our country.  All should feel the need to take care of our environment and each other.
• To promote the right standards to others.  CCAR® sees it as not only okay, but important that schools or businesses who participate promote themselves and lead the way as safe places to go, places that also deeply care about the environment.  Promotion of the right things adds to the professionalism of the automotive industry.

Why is Safety and Pollution Prevention (S/P2) so important for schools?

Schools must comply like any business.  The EPA and OSHA say so.  Most schools are not kept up to the minute on changing laws and rules.  Actually businesses may receive the information before schools do.  CCAR can provide the latest compliance information on Safety and Pollution Prevention (S/P2) for schools.  Lastly, isn’t it important for the automotive industry to reduce the risk of violations and injuries which are most common in younger entry level employees?  CCAR knows it is and by providing S/P2 to sponsored schools actually helps reduce insurance claims, human suffering and prevent pollution by those most apt to be involved. 

Legally what does a shop have to do to stay in compliance with safety and environmental laws? 

The number one thing a shop has to do is to have a plan.  You cannot wait until you have an environmental violation, injury, or crisis, such as a fire, and then try and come up with a plan.  The largest number of violations has to do with not having a plan and not keeping paperwork complete.  CCAR’s S/P2 online training shows you how to set up a written plan AND train all your people on the majority of day to day environmental and safety risks that are specific to your industry.  

I cannot get logged into the training. What's wrong?

The most common reason is entering codes wrong. Make sure you are entering the 5 or 8 digit number given to your shop or school as your Account ID. To log in to the S/P2 Training, you must use your Store or School Password as the Password. Your PIN is specifically assigned to you by your manager or instructor. If you still cannot get logged in, try checking your Internet connection to make sure you are still connected to the internet. If you continue to have problems, Contact S/P2.

How current is CCAR’s environmental and safety information?
