Little Elm / West Frisco Meineke Car Care Center

When C3M Enterprises Inc., a Meineke car care center in Frisco, Texas, partnered with GMG EnviroSafe, they weren't sure what to expect. But the results spoke for themselves. "Working with GMG EnviroSafe has been a game-changer for us," said owner Mark Zimmerman. “GMG EnviroSafe exceeded expectations by listening closely to C3M's needs and going above and beyond to help the auto shop meet its safety and compliance goals.”

One of the biggest challenges C3M Enterprises faced was the distribution of and access to Safety Data Sheets (SDS). SDSs contain critical information about the hazards and safe handling of chemicals used in the workplace. Making this information readily available to employees is an important part of OSHA compliance and essential for keeping workers safe.

Additionally, the auto repair shop needed to address various other safety and environmental issues to better protect employees and maintain compliance with relevant regulations. Achieving this would require a comprehensive approach and the support of EHS experts who understood the unique needs of the auto repair industry.

GMG EnviroSafe worked closely with C3M Enterprises to develop a customized program that fit the shop's specific needs. This included:

• Streamlining SDS management and distribution to ensure employees had the information they needed to safely handle chemicals
• Conducting a detailed assessment to identify safety and environmental concerns
• Providing expert guidance on addressing identified issues and maintaining compliance
• Delivering hands-on training to engage employees in safe work practices
• Offering ongoing support to continuously improve safety outcomes

By taking the time to understand C3M's operations and challenges, GMG EnviroSafe was able to implement solutions that integrated seamlessly into the shop's daily workflow. The GMG team served as a knowledgeable partner, always available to answer questions and provide the support needed to reach safety goals.

Since teaming up with GMG EnviroSafe, C3M Enterprises has made major strides in addressing safety concerns at their Meineke shop. Key outcomes include:

• Successfully distributing SDSs and making them easily accessible to all employees
• Measurable progress on numerous safety and environmental issues
• Plans in place for continued EHS improvements in the coming year
• Greater confidence in the shop's readiness for government audits
• Peace of mind knowing employee safety is in good hands

For Mark Zimmerman, choosing GMG EnviroSafe on the recommendation of Meineke has been a decision he's very happy with. Though C3M had never worked with an outside EHS firm before, the experience has been game-changing. With GMG EnviroSafe's expert guidance and support, C3M is well on its way to a new level of safety excellence.
