3RD OBSERVATIONS

Equipment and Supplies


When working in a workshop, tools and equipment are readily available and safely operational at all times, so that the technicians can work on their vehicles safely and be able to complete their tasks on time. Equipment such as hoists are inspected and passed quarterly to ensure they are safe to use.


Most equipment is accessible to all trained staff, and requires proper safe operation at all times. For instance, when a vehicle is required to be raised by using a hydraulic trolley jack, axle stands are positioned below it to avoid the vehicle from dropping and hurting the worker. Similarly, when a vehicle is lifted on a hoist the technician must ensure that the platform or lifting arms are locked in place. 

All employees are given an induction training on how to properly operate equipment before the commencement of employment and so everyone is well aware of the proper operating procedures of all equipment.
