KPA expands EHS compliance programs for automotive repair facilities

Risk management software provider KPA recently expanded its EHS products that can help automotive businesses achieve compliance by streamlining workplace safety and environmental programs.

As automotive businesses navigate shifting OSHA and EPA regulations, many struggle to keep pace with compliance obligations that extend beyond periodic audits and corrective action plans.

KPA said it serves over 15,000 dealerships, collision centers, and auto care businesses, and its expanded offerings will empower client organizations to build stronger EHS programs with greater visibility into workplace hazards, environmental risks, and compliance performance.

"Compliance shouldn’t be something collision centers and auto care organizations only address once a year during an audit," said Mike Tanguay, National Director, EHS Field Services at KPA. "It's an ongoing process that requires visibility, consistency, and documentation. KPA's approach combines software, consulting, and training to help automotive businesses protect their employees and reduce risk."

Hands-on guidance and support from compliance consultants

Building on its longstanding work with collision centers and auto repair shops, KPA expanded its suite of EHS systems with enhanced capabilities for:

• Collision Center Compliance: An EHS system purpose-built for collision repair facilities, this product helps businesses reduce incident rates, increase uptime, and build regulatory confidence through KPA's integrated software, consulting, and training.
• Auto Care Compliance: Designed specifically for automotive service and repair organizations, this EHS product helps auto shops build comprehensive safety programs, reduce risk, and achieve compliance.

“For organizations managing multiple locations, trust is built through experience, consistent systems, leadership, and local support,” said Wayne Curtis, CEO at KPA. “As KPA’s experts assist with thousands of regulatory events, environmental spills, and accident investigations each year, we provide hands-on guidance and support when it matters most.”

With over 150 in-house compliance consultants and a library of over 400 auto-specific training courses, KPA said its software, training, and consulting programs have helped over 8 million employees identify risk and maintain compliance across their organizations.
