Collision Repair businesses are a significant portion of ERS’ client base.  As part of an automobile sales operation or as a free-standing business, we have developed the tools and programs necessary for you to promote a safe and compliant work environment.  Our easy-to-use online training system is great for collision repair businesses.  The training program allows employees to work at their own pace.  The program also allows users to complete training individually, which prevents disruption to overall operations.  For more in-depth information on our Collision Repair services, see below:

•  Onsite Audits for OSHA & EPA Compliance
  A friendly ERS representative will conduct semi-annual audits of your facility to help you achieve and maintain compliance.  Your representative will walk you through the steps needed to avoid costly fines.  The audit results and photographs are uploaded to your account online.  You can utilize the online task manager to document when corrective changes are made at your facility.  The results are automatically updated in our system.
