Health and safety when repairing and servicing brakes.
An indispensable condition for safe driving is to maintain both the main brake in good technical condition, as well as auxiliary.
Therefore, you should constantly check the technical condition of the brakes and remove any noticed defects immediately. Before starting work under the car, secure the vehicle with chocks against rolling away. If a part of the car is lifted with a portable lift, Fixed stands should be placed under the car.
It is forbidden to perform any service and repair work with a raised vehicle, supported only on a lift.. Before using the jack, check its technical condition.
If there is traffic in the vicinity of other cars, the repairman should lie alongside the vehicle. He should take that position, so that the hands work at chest height, and never at face height. If such a position is necessary, the worker should wear safety glasses.
When working under the car, you should lie on a couch with a headrest or on a mat.
