OBJECTIVES

5. HAZARD MANAGEMENT
The process of identifying and fixing potential
hazards in the workplace is called hazard
management - a simple procedure where you
assess and control the risk of hazards to workers. A
workplace hazard is something that has the potential
to harm the health and safety of people at work.

6. Some Identified
Workplace Hazards

7. Manual handling includes any activity that
requires a person to lift, push, pull, carry, hold
or move an object, person or thing. The weight
of the object, frequency of manual handling,
avoiding sudden or jerky movements, planning
the move or lift, lighting and surfaces all need to
be considered.
MANUAL HANDLING

8. Lifting and moving equipment and materials, panel beating,
and working in awkward postures (such as removing or
replacing engine parts under car bonnets) are some
examples of manual handling tasks you may have to do in
the automotive industry.

9. Poor design, poor maintenance,
inexperience and lack of training
increase the risk of injury from tools and
equipment and its operators.
MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT

11. • Many of the tools used in the automotive industry are
powered by electricity. Your employer must make sure all
electrical machinery and equipment are kept in good
working order.
• Hand tools such as spanners, wrenches and screwdrivers
will be used in every job. The mostcommon injuries from
use of hand tools are to the hands and fingers. Using the
correct tools is an important way to avoid these injuries.
POWERED TOOLS & HAND
TOOLS

12. Poor „housekeeping' in the automotive
industry leads to slips, trips and falls.
Engine parts, air lines and hoses left on the
workshop floor can all result in preventable
accidents. Metal bins should be provided
for waste disposal. These should not be
allowed to overflow.
SLIPS, TRIPS, AND FALLS

14. Good ventilation is essential in automotive
workshops. Engine bay doors should be
fully open at all times. If weather conditions
prevent this, the work must be evaluated
and tasks such as spray painting, which
could result in a build-up of fumes, should
be postponed.
CONFINED SPACES

15. Excessive noise can cause permanent hearing
loss and is probably the most common cause of
hearing loss in adult males. Hearing loss limits
a person's ability to communicate at work,
home and socially. There is no medical
treatment and hearing aids offer limited benefit.
NOISE

17. A hazardous substance is any substance,
which can potentially harm the health and
safety of workers. Labels and material
safety data sheets (MSDS) provide OHS
information about the substance.
