15 FALL 2015 Ladders: Limit ladder use to trained and experienced staff only. Lock ladder with a chain to prevent usage by untrained staff. Electrical Standards: OSHA standards are designed to protect employees from electric shock, electrocution, fires, and explosions. Failure to use f lexible cords and cables properly was the most common citation. Please note that training for servicing hybrid vehicles should be mandatory. Only trained workers are allowed to work on these vehicles as they are capable of producing an electric shock that may prove fatal. Machines: Moving machine parts have the potential to cause severe workplace injuries, such as crushed fingers or hands, amputations, burns, or blindness. Safeguards, including anchoring fixed machinery, are essential for protecting workers from these preventable injuries. Any machine part, function, or process that may cause injury must be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine or accidental contact with the machine may injure the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be eliminated or controlled. Moving parts in an automobile, grinders, and brake lathes are all subject to this regulation. Electrical Systems Design: Not applicable to auto dealerships!
