Many auto repair shops face similar compliance issues that can lead to potential risks, fines, and legal consequences. Proactively addressing these compliance concerns is crucial for maintaining a safe, efficient, and legally compliant workplace. Based on our extensive experience working with Meineke franchisees, here are the most common compliance violations
Keep fire extinguishers visible, unobstructed, and inspected regularly to meet safety standards and ensure preparedness in emergencies.
Clear and well-marked exit routes are essential for quick evacuations. Blocked exits can lead to injuries or worse during emergencies.

OSHA requires detailed safety programs and training records. Missing documentation can expose your shop to risks and penalties.
Providing and enforcing proper PPE use prevents workplace injuries and ensures compliance with safety standards.
Regular training sessions ensure your team is equipped with the knowledge to maintain safety and meet regulatory requirements.
Proper handling, storage, and tracking of hazardous waste protect employees and the environment while avoiding fines.
