1. Personal protective equipment (PPE): All employees should wear appropriate PPE such as safety glasses, gloves, and steel-toed boots to protect themselves from potential hazards in the workshop.
2. Machine guarding: Ensure that all machines and equipment are properly guarded to prevent accidental contact with moving parts. Regular maintenance and inspection of guards should be conducted to ensure they are in good working condition.
3. Hazardous material storage: Store all hazardous materials such as oils, lubricants, and solvents in designated areas with proper labeling and containment measures to prevent spills and leaks.
4. Fire safety: Install fire extinguishers in easily accessible locations and conduct regular fire drills to ensure all employees know how to respond in case of a fire emergency.
5. Ventilation: Proper ventilation systems should be in place to remove fumes and exhaust gases from the workshop to maintain air quality and prevent respiratory issues.
6. Housekeeping: Keep the workshop clean and organized to prevent slips, trips, and falls. Regularly clean up spills and debris to maintain a safe working environment.
7. Training and education: Provide employees with proper training on safety procedures, equipment operation, and emergency response protocols to ensure they are aware of potential hazards and how to mitigate them.
8. Regular inspections: Conduct regular inspections of equipment, tools, and work areas to identify and address any potential safety hazards before they become a problem.
9. Emergency response plan: Develop and implement an emergency response plan that outlines procedures for handling accidents, injuries, fires, and other emergencies that may occur in the workshop.
10. Safety culture: Foster a culture of safety in the workshop by encouraging open communication, reporting of hazards, and participation in safety training programs. Encourage employees to take ownership of their own safety and the safety of their coworkers.

Engineering Controls:
- Ventilation: Exhaust systems to remove fumes, gases, and dust from the work area.
- Dust collectors: To capture and filter airborne particulates.
- Welding booths: Enclosed areas with filtered ventilation to prevent the spread of fumes and smoke.
- Air purifiers: To remove contaminants from the air.
- Automatic brake and suspension testers: To minimize technician exposure to exhaust fumes.
Administrative Controls:
- Employee training: On proper handling of hazardous materials, safe work practices, and emergency procedures.
- Job rotation: To reduce exposure of individual employees to specific hazards.
- Rest breaks: To allow employees to recover from exertion and exposure to fumes.
- Housekeeping: Regular cleaning to prevent accumulation of flammable materials and debris.
- Chemical management program: To ensure safe storage, handling, and disposal of hazardous chemicals.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Respirators: To protect against inhalation of fumes, gases, and dust.
- Gloves: To prevent skin contact with hazardous materials.
- Coveralls: To protect clothing and prevent exposure to chemicals.
- Safety glasses: To protect eyes from sparks, flying debris, and chemicals.
- Safety shoes: To protect feet from heavy objects and spills.
Other Control Measures:
- Spill kits: To clean up spills promptly and prevent contamination.
- Emergency showers and eyewash stations: For immediate response to chemical splashes or exposures.
- Regular maintenance: Of equipment and ventilation systems to ensure effectiveness.
- Medical surveillance: To monitor employees' health and identify potential hazards.
- Noise reduction: To protect hearing from machinery and loud noises.
- Ergonomic workstations: To reduce strain and fatigue from repetitive tasks.
