February 14, 2005—Ford Motor Company is advocating S/P2, an online training program in safety and pollution prevention to Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealers across the US.
Created by the Coordinating Committee for Automotive Repair, S/P2 is an Internet-based training that addresses key safety and pollution prevention issues for automotive repair professionals, according to the organization. It adheres to US EPA and OSHA standards, which require that shop personnel be trained when they start work and at least annually on safety and environmental regulations.
S/P2 is provided free of charge to automotive schools and training programs throughout the US. Currently, over 1,600 schools have access to the S/P2 courseware, representing a student audience of more than 130,000. S/P2 tracks technician/student progress through the training, grades tests and is constantly updated as changes occur in federal and state laws.
