OADA’s Educational Seminar Series Presents: Safety in and Around the Dealership

All dealership personnel responsible for safety compliance are encouraged to attend.

  

Admittedly, it is probably one of the least exciting topics we talk about, yet it might be one of the most overlooked issues that can significantly affect your bottom line.  All dealers know programs such as “Right to Know”, PPE, flammable storage, fire extinguishers, forklift training, respirator training, just to name a few, are required by law.  It is also known that the most frequent and generally severe injuries occur in the back end of the store.  These injuries inevitably affect a dealer’s workers’ compensation costs, which can cost a dealership thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars a year in premiums.

   

Is your dealership familiar with these new compliance developments:

  • If you have a body shop, U.S. EPA has enacted new hazardous air pollutant standard for sources engaged in surface coating of motor vehicles.  Learn the  details regarding this new standard so that you can be ready to meet the compliance deadline.

  • OSHA’s new rule clarifying that employers must pay for employee’s PPE.

Is your dealership still struggling with:

  • DOT - The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires training and certification for all employees who ship, load, unload, receive, or even handle hazardous materials.  Non-compliance has led to large fines.

  • Is OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Program and its requirements still creating compliance issues at your dealership.

Get answers to such questions as:

  • What programs are actually required

  • How do you evaluate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements

  • How to conduct safety training for employees

  • Record retention requirements

  • The elements of “Right to Know” and Emergency Response

  • Common OSHA violations

This program will be taught to give participants the maximum opportunity to ask questions.  KPA, the acknowledged leader in providing safety and environmental compliance services since 1986, currently works with over 3,000 dealers across the country and Ohio .  Regulatory agencies place the full burden of compliance on business.  OADA and KPA are offering this seminar to assist and inform dealers of the applicable requirements and the importance of safety. If you have additional questions, please contact DeAnna Zahniser at (800) 686-9100 or (614) 766-9100, ext. 109.

     

This is a great opportunity to spend the morning with experts in the field of safety at the dealership.  Be sure to take this opportunity to learn and implement these safety strategies.
