Beware: Danger lies ahead in your repair shops
Repair shops are places with are several risks of accidents. The implementation of preventive measures is easier when certain risks are known, such as the management of dangerous products or machine safety. However, the implementation of preventive measures with risks due to ergonomic constraints, noise, falls from height or vehicle electrification seems more complex. The presentation is divided into two parts, the first part attempts to demystify the ergonomic risks, and the second part is about the new risks. The presentation aims to bring the audience to a broader reflection of health and safety, allowing the audience to find simple and innovative ways to prevent these accidents.
