CCAR introduces free motor vehicle safety online course

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — As a part of its ongoing Alliance with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Coordinating Committee For Automotive Repair (CCAR) now offers the free online training course “Operating Motor Vehicles: A Guide for Employees in the Automotive Repair Industry.”

The CCAR-OSHA Alliance provides information, guidance, and access to training resources to the auto repair industry that will help protect employees’ health and safety, the groups say. Workplace vehicle safety is one of the areas of concentration of the Alliance agreement between CCAR and OSHA, which originated in 2004 and was renewed last year.

“The driving abilities of employees in this industry may be scrutinized at a much closer level because of the nature of their work,” says CCAR President Robert G. Stewart. “Our goal is to increase employee awareness of their responsibilities and share information intended to result in safer driving performance.”
