Body Repairers Guide to Workplace Safety 2017/18– Released

It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that their workers return home the same way they left it, without injury. There are many potential hazards within the Body Repair industry that must be addressed, and necessary steps to be taken to ensure workers are safeguarded from risks. Pro-Visual Publishing, in partnership with the Institute of Automotive Mechanical Engineers (IAME) and the Australian Association of Progressive Repairers (AAPR), has released the 2017/18 edition of the Body Repairers Guide to Workplace Safety.

This year’s safety guide provides information on the following key areas:

  • Spray painting in spray booths.
  • Common spray painting and powder coating hazards.
  • Planning and establishing a Safety Management System (SMS).
  • Safety signs in the workplace.
  • 10 commandments of workplace safety.

Additionally, the Augmented Reality (AR) content creates a space for interaction and a window for more information and resources relevant for body repairers, which is accessible via the free Pro-Vis AR App.

“I would like to thank all of the sponsors of the Body Repairers Guide to Workplace Safety 2017/18. Their support has made it possible for the Guide to be distributed free of charge.” – John Hutchings, CEO, Pro-Visual Publishing.
