Control exposure to hazardous chemicals
The use of hazardous substances and chemicals including acetone, brake fluid, antifreeze, and coolants is common in the motor repair industry.
However, despite the regular use of these substances, they are especially harmful to workers when misplaced or mishandled.
When handling hazardous substances in the workplace, Irish motor repair engineers can use risk management software to conduct thorough risk assessments, track the implementation of control measures and generate HSA-required documentation, ready for inspections.
Support compliance with the HSA’s regulations
The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has previously taken enforcement action against motor garages in Ireland following workplace incidents involving moving vehicles.
Businesses that fail to comply with Irish health and safety legislation, including requirements to report certain workplace incidents, may face prosecution and significant financial penalties. In serious cases, workplace fatalities can also result in criminal proceedings against business owners and managers.
By combining digital health and safety tools with expert guidance, your business can strengthen compliance with Irish workplace safety legislation, protect employees and reduce the risk of costly penalties.
