Using Augmented Reality For Better Safety Outcomes

There are several hazards associated with automotive workshops that automotive mechanics are exposed to on a daily basis. Pro-Visual Publishing, in collaboration with the Institute of Automotive Mechanical Engineers (IAME) and the Australian Association of Progressive Repairers (AAPR) has released the latest edition of the Automotive Mechanics Guide to Workplace Safety, with the aim of reducing the likelihood of injury or health hazards in the industry, on a national scale.

The 2017/18 edition of the Guide covers a range of topics including:

• Noise exposure.
• Hoist safety — lifting of vehicles.
• Under vehicle access safety.
• Manual handling.
• Slips, trips and falls.

The Augmented Reality (AR) components of the guide also provide a window to further interactive resources and information, which users can access by simply scanning over any AR capable content using the free Pro-Vis AR app.

“I would like to thank all the sponsors of the Automotive Mechanics Industry 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.
