- These safety instructions and all other service information must be accessible to all persons in the workshop area who are directly or indirectly involved in maintenance, repair, diagnosis and vehicle handovers. This includes supervisors, who have a special duty of care (such as to employees, the environment, equipment and vehicles being repaired). The operating instructions issued by the manufacturers of devices, machines, diagnosis tools and special tools must also be followed.
- Hazardous substances may only be stored and transported in clearly marked, unbreakable, unmistakable and sealed containers. Vessels intended for food and drink may not be used for storing and decanting hazardous substances.
- The quantity of hazardous substances kept at the workplace may not exceed the amount required for the direct or expedient dispatch of work.
- Personal protective clothing must be worn which corresponds to the characteristics of the hazardous substance.
- Hazardous concentrations of gases, vapors and dust must be removed immediately using suitable extraction equipment. Generally, adequate ventilation of working areas must be ensured.
- Operations that can lead to the generation or release of gases must never be performed in workshop pits, since gases such as refrigerants that are heavier than air can collect in high concentrations.
- Contact between wet cleaning materials and residues of combustible hazardous materials and skin, eyes and clothing must be avoided. Areas of the body which have come into contact with hazardous materials must be washed off immediately with copious quantity of water.
