on your family, coworkers, and company as well.

Accidents caused by the improper use of a machine or tool, by wearing inappropriate
clothes, or by the carelessness of the technician.

B Accidents due to physical factors

Accidents caused by the malfunctioning of a machine or tool, the lack of integrity of a
safety device, or a poor working environment.

Work Safety Work Wear

(1/1)
Return to previous page

Work wear
To prevent accidents, select work wear that is strong and fits well to facilitate work. Avoid
work wear with exposed belts, buckles, and buttons, which can cause damage to vehicles
while working.
As a safety measure against injury or burns, avoid exposing the bare skin.

Work shoes
Make sure to wear safety shoes while working. Because it is dangerous to wear sandals
or sneakers that slip easily or reduce work efficiency. They also make the wearer
vulnerable to injury due to accidentally dropped objects.

Work gloves
When lifting heavy items or removing hot exhaust pipes or similar objects, it is advisable
to wear gloves. However, it is not necessary to make a rule of wearing them for ordinary
maintenance work.
Whether you should wear gloves must be determined according to the type of work you
will be performing.

(1/2)

In the Workshop
Always keep your workplace clean to protect yourself and others from injury.

•Do not leave tools or parts on the floor where you or somebody else may trip over them.
Make a habit of putting them on a workbench or work stand.
•Immediately clean up any spilled fuel, oil, or grease to prevent yourself or others from
slipping on the floor.
•Do not assume an uncomfortable posture while working. It will not only affect your work
efficiency, but it could cause you to fall and injure yourself.
•Be extremely careful when handling heavy objects because you could be injured if they
are dropped on your feet. Also, remember that you could hurt your back if you try to lift an
object that is too heavy for you.
•To move from one area of the workplace to another, make sure to walk on a designated
walkway.
•Do not use combustibles near switches, switchboards or electric motors etc. as they
could easily spark creating a fire.

In the Workshop
When working with tools, observe the following precautions to prevent injury:

1. Electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic equipment can cause serious injury if incorrectly
used.
2. Wear protective goggles before using tools that scatter chips.
Remove dust and chips from tools such as grinders and drills after use.
3. Do not wear gloves when operating a tool that rotates or when working in an area that
has a rotational movement. Gloves can get caught in the rotating object and injure your
hands.
4. To raise a vehicle on a lift, initially raise it until the tires are slightly off the ground.
Then, make sure that the vehicle is securely supported on the lift before raising it entirely.
Never attempt to shake the vehicle once it is raised, as this could cause the vehicle to fall
and cause serious injury.

Work Safety Fire prevention

(2/2)

Fire prevention
To prevent fires and accidents, take the following precautions in the vicinity of the
flammable items:
•Rags soaked with gasoline or oil may sometimes ignite by spontaneous combustion, so
they should be disposed of in a metal container fitted with a cover.
•Do not use an open flame in the vicinity of oil storage or flammable parts cleaning
solvent.
•Never use open flames or create sparks in the vicinity of batteries that are being
charged, as they give off explosive gas that could ignite.
•Do not bring fuel or cleaning solvents into the workshop except when necessary, and
use special containers that can be sealed.
•Do not dispose of combustible waste oils and gasoline into the sewer because they can
cause a fire in the sewer system. Always dispose of these materials in a drain tank or an
appropriate container.
•Do not start the engine of a vehicle with fuel leaks until the leaks have been repaired.
When making repairs on the fuel system, such as removing the carburetor, disconnect
the negative (-) cable from the battery to prevent the engine from being accidentally
started.
