Westminster, Colo. – September 4, 2024 – Today, KPA and the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association (OADA) announced a dedicated workplace safety and compliance partnership for OADA’s more than 700 members throughout the state. As an endorsed partner of OADA, KPA brings a wealth of dealership-specific expertise across the spectrum of Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) issues that can help dealers improve safety outcomes, lower compliance risk, and save money.
“Workplace safety has never been more important,” said Zach Doran, Executive Director of the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association. “This partnership with KPA is an important part of OADA’s workers’ compensation group rating programs and OADA’s effort to educate and empower our members to take proactive responsibility for workplace safety and compliance so that their business is protected and can continue to grow.”
Since 1991, OADA’s workers’ compensation group rating programs have saved dealers a quarter of a billion dollars in premiums. These group rating programs focus on mitigating risks, injury prevention, keeping the costs associated with workplace injuries at a minimum by managing every aspect of the claim, financial management and cost control; as well as medical management of workers’ compensation claims.
“For over 38 years, KPA has been advising and working with dealerships on how to operate safely and navigate the regulatory landscape; our partnership with OADA is important in that mission,” said Adam Crowell, KPA’s Vice President of Legal and Corporate Development. “We are excited to collaborate with OADA and support their members as they navigate the changing regulatory landscape and ultimately help protect their business and keep their employees safe.”
KPA provides comprehensive workplace solutions to nearly 200 dealerships across the state that uses a unique combination of Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) software, expert compliance consulting, and award-winning compliance training to help dealers lower business risks and reduce costs while keeping employees and customers safe. This partnership will help members stay compliant, protect their reputation, and save time so that they can stay focused on their core business.
