An oil change takes minutes, and the hazards come with it: an open pit, a tech working under a car, drums of used oil, and chemicals that move from bulk tank to bay several times a shift. Most lube shops have a safety binder somewhere. The question is whether what’s in it matches what’s happening in the bay when an OSHA inspector walks in.
In this 30-minute conversation, Zach Pucillo, Regulatory Director at KPA, walks through the eight OSHA areas where oil and lube operations are most exposed. He covers what an inspector checks first and where shops tend to fall short.
You’ll learn:
- Which eight OSHA standards matter most for oil and lube shops.
- What inspectors look at first in the pit, the bay, and the storage area.
- Practical fixes managers can make before the next inspection.
This session is built for owners, district and store managers, and safety leads at independent and multi-location quick lube operations.
