Health and Safety Guide for Auto Repair and Body Shops

摘要

There are many tasks in an auto repair and body shop where accidents may occur. A worker is subject to a variety of hazards and is required to exercise caution in performance of his everyday duties in order to prevent accidents. During periods of peak activity, cars are pulling in and out, customers are milling about and sometimes committing unsafe acts such as careless smoking or tinkering with tools and equipment. The employees may be too busy or distracted to keep an eye on everything. It is suggested that customers should not be permitted in the shop and signs posted to keep them out. Any effort made in the direction of positive safety controls is of the greatest importance. Consistent effort will pay off with fewer injuries and more real operating efficiency. The aim of this booklet is to help you and your employees make this effort.
