New Environmental & Safety Guides for Vehicle Maintenance
FINDLAY, Ohio--Nov. 30, 2000--Never before has it been easier for an organization of any size engaged in vehicle maintenance to implement a comprehensive environmental program. Environmental Development Corporation (EDC) has announced the availability of its 2001 editions of their Environmental and Safety Guides for Vehicle Maintenance and Refueling Operations. These Guides, comprising nearly 1,000 pages of compliance, best management practices and solutions, help those directly responsible for EPA and OSHA compliance, to reduce cost and maximize compliance. Each guide also comes with a 30-minute video.EDC has also announced a new website at www.envirosafeshop.com and that it will publish in January a 150-page Vehicle Maintenance Managers Guide to Environmental Excellence in paperback and on CD-ROM.
A condensed version of its 590-page Guide, the new guide for vehicle maintenance managers provides an easy-to-read reference of essential information that most managers of auto, truck, bus and heavy-equipment maintenance need to know to comply with EPA rules. It covers literally all topics from used oil, antifreeze recycling, and scrap tires to hazardous waste storage, pollution prevention, and training and record keeping requirements. It is designed for multi-location fleet operations, franchised operations, as well as one-location service shops.
"This product on CD-ROM will allow our customers to post it on their intranets, as well as utilize it as a desktop reference," says author David Augenstein, a professional engineer with 13 years specializing in environmental regulatory compliance in automotive service and refueling operations. The product can also be customized for a specific company. For example, versions have already been customized for all 2,500 Midas International service centers in North America, 150 Toyota forklift dealerships, and are available to 10,000 NAPA auto service centers through their 2001 NAPA Dealer Program. With the Vehicle Maintenance Managers Guide to Environmental Excellence, EDC programs will cover the entire organization, from environmental coordinators to maintenance managers and technicians.
