Dealership management is required by law to review all potential safety hazards in their service shop, and identify how to protect employees from them. For example, a grinding wheel poses a risk to an employee’s fingers and eyes. To eliminate this risk, the grinding wheel is outfitted with guards against the wheel to keep fingers from being caught, and employees must used eye protection to eliminate the risk of flying debris in the eyes. ERS will review each piece of equipment in the service area to ensure that proper protective apparatus is identified and provided.
