CLEARFIELD – Students in the Collision Repair program at The Clearfield County Career & Technology Center (CCCTC) recently earned their EPA 6H certification.
The goal behind 6H is to reduce emissions of certain listed heavy metal hazardous air pollutants such as paints, primers and clear coats.
There are many rules and requirements when it comes to the EPA 6H training. Fred Ison, a paint representative from Sata, trained students on the many requirements for certification.
All students in the photo received their certification from the two-hour training, which is good for five years. This training makes graduating students more valuable to employers.
