Health and safety is the practice of preventing harm to people at work. In automotive it is especially important because the environment includes machinery, moving production lines, vehicles, manual handling, tools and materials. This page is general and educational only; the rules that apply depend on your country and circumstances, so always check the official health and safety or labour-inspection authority and obtain qualified advice.

General areas of attention

  • Safe operation of machinery, equipment and moving lines.
  • Manual handling, ergonomics and repetitive-task risks.
  • Movement of vehicles, plant and materials on site.
  • Use of tools, chemicals and personal protective equipment.
  • Clear induction, signage and emergency procedures.

General good practices

  • Make safety part of induction and ongoing training.
  • Keep workspaces, walkways and equipment well maintained.
  • Encourage reporting of hazards and near-misses.
  • Review processes and act on incidents and feedback.

Where to find official guidance

  • Consult the official health and safety or labour-inspection authority in your country.
