1.1 Important Safety Information
•Never smoke in or near repair bays or garages. Vehicles contain flammable and
combustible fluids which can easily be set on fire if a hot ash from a cigar or
cigarette were to come into contact with such materials.
•Keep work areas clean and organized. Pick up tools and use tool cabinets to
keep walkways clear and free from clutter.
•Never wear loose clothing or clothing that is ripped or torn. To prevent employ-
ees from wearing unacceptable attire, it is recommended to obtain customized
uniforms and work apparel from a qualified uniform service company.
•Wear protective gear at all times, as appropriate for the repair. Goggles, gloves,
and ear protection should be worn when making certain types of repairs.
•Make sure fire extinguishers are easily acceptable and appropriate for all poten-
tial fire types. In the event of a fire, extinguishers need to be accessed quickly
and be charged with the right materials to put out the type of fire: i.e., gas,
oil, electrical, and so on.
•Always disconnect the battery when working on electrical systems and near/around
electrical wiring. Even when the vehicle is off, there is still the potential for
current to pass through electrical wiring.
•Never place hands, tools, or other objects near the engine while it is running.
The moving parts and components could cause injury to a person or the vehicle
itself.
•Never work underneath a vehicle unless it has been properly supported. Raising
the vehicle off the ground to access the underside requires verifying it is stable,
and that there is no risk of the vehicle falling on top of the mechanic.
