Automotive Module
Welcome to the Automotive Module of safe@work.
Have you read the General Module, completed the test and gained your safe@work General certificate?
The Automotive Module should be done AFTER the General Module or Review Module.
If it is some time since you completed the General Module, you should read the Review Module.
The Automotive Module contains information on:
- Plant
- Powered Tools and Hand Tools
- Hazardous Substances and Dangerous Goods
- Confined Spaces
- Manual Handling
- Slips,Trips and Falls
- Noise
Within the automotive industry, workers undertake jobs such as:
- repairing and overhauling engines
- changing tyres
- degreasing vehicle parts
- panel beating
- removing and replacing damaged windscreens
- mending leaking hoses and radiators
You may be asked to assist with some of these tasks while taking part in work experience.
Your employer must explain each task before you start work on it. You must be provided with instruction, training and supervision. You must know the first aid and emergency arrangements too, so if anything goes wrong you will know what to do.
Key Point
It is important that your employer has taken action to control risks. You must know and follow safe working procedures – not just for your own safety, but also for the safety of others working with you.
