Safe Work Environment

A safe work environment means the safety of the workplace and the entire car repair shop. The condition of the working environment plays an important role in making the workplace safer and largely prevents accidents, injuries and illnesses.

A well-organized shop can contribute to creating a safe working environment. Shop policies and procedures, maintenance and order, inspection of the correctness of tools, equipment and protective equipment, use of personal and safety equipment, disposal of hazardous waste, regular safety training and high safety awareness are measures that should be applied in every shop. Conversely, a shop that is cluttered with junk, poorly lit, and full of hazards is unsafe.

Accidents and injuries can happen at any time. Do not underestimate the dangers, always think carefully about what you are doing and how you are doing it. Think about the steps, try to anticipate the things that can go wrong and take steps to prevent them. Do not circumvent prescribed work procedures, because often the time saved by shortening the work is nothing compared to the time spent recovering from the accident. Do not rely on others for your safety. Only you are primarily responsible for your safety.

Almost all accidents can be prevented with a little more thought, training and practice. You should always think about safety first and act safe second. If you’re not sure how to do something, ask someone with more experience than you. Few accidents happen by themselves. Accidents are almost always caused by poor decisions or poor actions.

Therefore, follow workplace safety measures and identify the general rules and procedures for car repair shop safety.
