There are more than 200,000 UK workers employed as motor vehicle mechanics, predominantly in small and medium-sized businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to figures collated by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/mvr\/resources\/statistics\/injurystats.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HSE<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Local Authorities, there have been 7,000 injuries and 33 deaths over the last five years in the motor vehicle repair (MVR) industry. The number of accidents is quickly approaching that of the construction industry.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The accident figures show a worrying trend, so any business with mechanics on the payroll should take a moment&#8217;s pause, divulge the data, and investigate ways to keep mechanics safe.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Risk Of Injury<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatal injuries per 100,000 workers sit at 2.4, compared to 2.3 in construction and 1.1 in manufacturing. The latest figures (RIDDOR report) for non-fatal injuries by type of injury for auto mechanics are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifting and handling injuries:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">303<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slip, trip, or fall at the same level:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">232<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Struck by an object:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">170<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fall from height:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">79<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Struck against:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">47<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact with machinery:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">41<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Struck by moving vehicle:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">31<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure to fire:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposed to harmful substances:<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trapped by something collapsing: <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what practical measures can your business put in place to reduce the risk of injury?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping Workers Safe &amp; Protected<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping workers safe and protected can be achieved through assessing the risks and counteracting them with appropriate measures. The top ways of maintaining mechanics safety include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Wearing will-fitting mechanics workwear<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Workwear should not be too loose; otherwise, it can become ripped, torn, or pulled into the moving parts of equipment, machines, or engines.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Using absorbent mats and wipers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/uk\/services\/industrial-wiper-service\/absorbent-mats\/\">Absorbent mats<\/a> soak up potential spills as vehicles and engines are worked on. <a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/uk\/services\/industrial-wiper-service\/\">Wipers<\/a> clean up accidental spills to prevent slips and should always be on hand.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Wearing protective gear<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Workwear should comply with safety regulations and protect against fire and harmful substances, such as solvents, lead, petrol, dust, and powders. Goggles, ear protection, and gloves should be worn for certain types of work.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Keeping walkways clear<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Any object left in walkways, including parts and tools, poses a potential trip risk. Keep your space organised and use tool cabinets.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Disconnecting batteries when working on electrical systems<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Current can potentially pass through circuitry even when the vehicle is off.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Never working alone in confined spaces<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Confined spaces pose several risks, including dangerous changes in air quality, trapping or crushing, and fire dangers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Keeping fire extinguishers accessible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Flame retardant workwear will keep mechanics safe for vital seconds while they escape flames. Still, you can lower injury risks further by having the correct fire extinguishers for electrical, gas, and oil-based fires.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Never placing tools in a running engine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Any accidental knock of your tools could see them fall into moving engine parts, which could fire them back towards you with considerable force.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Never smoking in garages and repair bays<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Combustible and flammable substances are often unavoidably present, so refraining from smoking is vital.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Choose workwear with long sleeves when working on engines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Any engine that has run can remain hot for a significant length of time. Long sleeves will protect mechanics&#8217; arms from burns when working on engines, the manifold, radiator, or exhaust system.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you own a business that employs mechanics, it is your responsibility to regularly train your workers on safety and provide workwear that meets safety standards.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To discuss improving garage safety through <a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/uk\/services\/industrial-workwear\/mechanic-workwear\/\">automotive workwear rental<\/a> for mechanics, please <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/uk\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> our team today.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working as a mechanic can be an enriching and fun career with a great deal of variety from one day to the next.
