Environmental, Health & Safety Compliance for Automotive Dealers trainer and developer, Sue Schauls, will engage Used Car Dealers, Automotive Recyclers and Mechanical or Collision Repair Shops in a thorough review of the rules and regulations facing the automotive technician today. These “green collar job” issues include managing automotive waste in an environmentally and compliant manner as well as covering the required safety requirements for automotive shops.

An in-depth discussion and training on the NEW OSHA Hazard Communication Standard and the changes from MSDS to SDS along with new in-shop tank labeling requirements will impart the students with the skills to meet the new GHS rules' 2016 deadline for compliance. The requirements apply to all businesses with chemicals of any kind in the work place.

Each issue or regulation will be discussed in a plain English format. The applicable regulatory agency would be identified (e.g., EPA, DNR, OSHA). Recommendations as to how to attain and/or maintain regulatory compliance will be thoroughly discussed. Participants would be guided through the use of a self-audit checklist and coached on developing a mandatory hazardous waste inventory (a key to waste disposal decisions).

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY COMPLIANCE

DNR, EPA AND OSHA Requirements : If you think you are exempt, think again. This course will be beneficial to dealers who have service departments, body shops and those who have a used motor vehicle dealer license coupled with a recycler’s license. If you have employees, you will want to become better aware of these state and federal compliance issues. Updates from the Iowa Department of Transportation, the Consumer Protection Division of the Iowa Attorney General’s office and other state and federal agencies will be reviewed.
