Content Summary : Auto Body and Paint businesses use a variety of hazardous materials and gener- ate many different types of waste, including hazardous waste. Auto Body and Paint shops are visited regularly by environmental compliance inspectors to ensure compliance with environmental and safety laws. It is also important for these businesses to understand ways to reduce wastes (pollution prevention) and use less toxic alternatives to improve their business and improve worker safety. Complying with environmental laws and reducing health and environ- mental risks at the source through pollution prevention, is a first step to help ensure worker and community safety. Changing to newer, safer technologies can further these efforts to protect our air, water, land, prevent risk of future liability and even reduce costs associated with the generation of waste.
