The hazards involved in a mechanics workshop much larger than most other occupations this is due to that fact that they work with large and heavy machines such as cars, motor bikes, vans and in some cases lorries, as well as working with vehicles a mechanic works with power tools, such as a power drill, lifts and oils. All of these add up creating a very dangerous working situation if not properly maintained and managed, and if these are not controlled then injuries, some fatal could occur, for example in the following scenario; your working in the garage and you lift up a car you’re a repairing today and notice that the lift has a crack in a piston in the hydraulic lift, but continue to work without giving it a second glance, after the car …show more content…
The methods used to identify these hazards are much harder than the above job this is because some are at microscopic level meaning they have to be carefully managed, this is done by emplacing an extremely strict regimented health and safety document which would cover all possible scenarios for the jobs, as well as this you would identify the hazards by examining whether or not the employees thoroughly wash their hand and use different has mat suits between different jobs, free periods and when they go home, this is because if they don’t there is a massively increased chance of getting someone ill from a virus you have been examining or cross contaminating two viruses creating a super virus which could put a lot of people’s lives at
