mycar embraces licensing
Automotive service and repair business mycar Tyre & Auto recently invited ARC to conduct an education visit to its Brisbane training centre to tell its technicians about ARCtick licensing and how it applies to their work.
ARC field officer Robert Mandla ran two sessions at the invitation of mycar’s Head of Technical Transformation, Tom Hatch. After presenting two videos on the background and importance of the scheme, Robert took participants through the Automotive Code of Practice and highlighted the importance of using nitrogen and tracer gas for leak detection. He described the field engagement visit process and the free record-keeping templates and risk management plan documents available from ARC, and the recently introduced Environmental Stewardship Award for RTAs that are compliant at first audit.
Tom Hatch said it was a privilege to have the support of ARC for mycar’s compliance journey. ‘Robert did a fantastic job presenting to the mycar technicians, imparting a solid understanding of their responsibilities as Refrigeration Handling Licence holders and their ongoing obligations to protect the ozone layer that we all depend on,’ he said. ‘We’re grateful for ARC’s partnership in promoting compliance and environmental responsibility within our industry.’
For a taste of the mycar presentation, the videos shown were:
- David Attenborough video on the Montreal Protocol
- DCCEEW video on the importance of the work technicians do to minimise preventable emissions of synthetic greenhouse gases
