•The workplace must be equipped with an adeguate ventilation and
air extraction system and must be in compliance with standards
according to current national laws.
•Always activate the air extraction system when working in closed
environments.
3.2.3 Risk of Impact and Crushing
The vehicles which are undergoing A/C system
recharging operations and the devices, must be
properly blocked using the specific mechanical
brakes/blocks, while being service.
Safety Precautions:

3.2.4 Hazards Caused by Moving Parts
Vehicle engines include parts that move, both while
running and not running (eg: the cooling fan is
controlledbyathermalswitchinconnectionwiththe
coolant temperature and become activated even
when the vehicle is off), that can injure the operator.
Safety Precautions:
•Keep hands away from moving parts.
•Disconnect the engine cooling fan each time the engine you are
working on is still hot. This will avoid the fan from becoming
activated unexpectedly even when the engine is off.
•Do not wear ties, loose clothes, wrist jewellery or watches when
working on a vehicle.

3.2.5 Risk of Burning or Scalding
The parts that are exposed to high temperatures in
engines that are moving or have just stopped could
burn the operator.
Remember that catalytic mufflers reach very high
temperatures, able to cause serious burns or even
start fires.
Acid in the vehicle batteries is another potential
hazard.
Safety Precautions:
•Protect your face, hands, and feet by using suitable protection.
•Avoid contact with hot surfaces, such as spark plugs, exhaust
pipes, radiators and connections within the cooling system.
•Make sure there are no oil stains, rags, paper or other inflammable
material near the muffler.
•Avoid splashing electrolyte on skin, eyes and clothes, as it is a
corrosive and highly toxic compound.
14

3.2.6 Fire and Explosion Hazard
The following are potential fires and/or explosion
hazards:
•The types of fuel used by the vehicle and the vapours
released by these fuels.
•The refrigerants used by the A/C system.
•The acid in the vehicle batteries.
Safety Precautions:
•Let the engine cool.
•Do NOT smoke near the vehicle.
•Do NOT expose the vehicle to open flames.
•Make sure that the electrical connections are all well insulated.
•Collect any fuel that might have spilled.
•Collect any refrigerant that might have spilled.
•Make sure you are always working in an environment equipped with a
good ventilation and air extraction system.
•Always activate the air extraction system when working in closed
environments.
•Cover the openings of the batteries with a wet cloth in order to stifle the
explosive gases before proceeding in testing or recharging.
•Avoid causing sparks when connecting cables to the battery.
