Workshop General Safety & Hazard Awareness

See how the 'boring' hazards — a spill, a tool, a badly placed lift arm — put more technicians in hospital than anything exotic, then privately rate how alert you really are before you walk back onto the floor.

• The hazards you stopped seeingVideo
• Before we start: how alert are you, honestly?Question

Learn the framework: the hierarchy of controls that ranks how you actually fix a hazard, how to read a GHS label and find an SDS under COSHH, and the everyday-hazard map — housekeeping, tools, lifts, air and fire — you'll soon be reading on a real vehicle.

• The hierarchy of controls — and reading a chemicalVideo
• Lifts, tools, air and fire — the everyday-hazard backboneVideo
• The hazard map — name the controlFlash card
• Housekeeping, fire and speaking up — recall the basicsFlash card

Apply the framework with feedback: read the hazards on the real bay, order a safe vehicle-lift sequence, decide under pressure on a fuel spill, and defend the call to stop a job to the supervisor in writing.
