Certification Year 2008

Compliance Assistance Workbook

for the Northern Virginia Auto Body Shop Self-Certification Program

DEQ developed this workbook to serve as facilities' primary reference to successfully participate in the Auto Body Self-Certification Program.   The workbook provides information on environmental compliance requirements as well as best practices.  The workbook is designed to be in plain English, easy to use, and self-directed. The workbook should be used along with the self-certification checklist.

The workbook can help auto body/collision repair shops to understand their environmental requirements.  It also provides information on industry best management practices that can help shops to save materials and reduce waste, save money, enhance worker health and safety, and improve quality.

At the beginning of October 2007, DEQ mailed registration forms, workbooks, information about the Program, and workshop invitations to known auto body/collision repair shops in Northern Virginia.  Please let us know if you do not receive a workbook.
