Assessing HAzArds in An Auto body repAir And Collision sHop
How to protect your workers from workplace injuryOntario’s automotive sector straddles many sub sectors – auto dealerships, body shops, lubricators, tire dealers, auto recyclers, and other ancillary workplace services. And each sub sector faces its own unique business challenges. A common thread that runs across every single auto sector firm is the need to ensure there are no compromises when it comes to workplace health and safety. Here's why:
� Ministry of Labour fines and penalties levied for workplace health and safety violations have the potential to punch a big hole in your profit ability
� Health and safety claims made to the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) could result in increased premiums firms.
� The Occupational Health and Safety Act places the responsibility of protecting the health and safety of workers primarily on their employers and managers. What follows is a high level overview of the process of identifying and addressing workplace hazards at vehicle sales and service firms.
Staff turnover due to workplace injuries adds to recruitment and training costs. The majority of business owners have realized that having an effective workplace health and safety program can help to save valuable resources. However, some still resist investing in health and safety due to the cost perception. What they don't take into account is that investing in prevention reduces overall costs - both direct and indirect, improves employee retention and reduces the likelihood of a visit by enforcement authorities or being selected for a health and safety audit.
How to Identify HazardsThe first step in protecting your employees from hazards is to identify what hazards exist in the workplace. There are a number of ways to do this:
� Inspect the workplace (See a sample Monthly Auto Body Repair Shop Inspection Form)
� Look at previous inspection reports
� Ask employees about what hazards they face
� Analyze the tasks in each job for hazards
� Look at injury, illness and first aid reports
� Review Accident or incident reports
� Consult with the Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) or Health and Safety Representative
� Review past minutes of the JHSC committee

You will probably need to use multiple sources in order to perform a thorough hazard identification. The chart below (Major Hazards) lists the major hazards found in auto body repair facilities (according to Ontario's Ministry of Labour).
Major Hazards � Hoists Designated Substances e.g. Isocyanates
� Dispensing and storage of flammable and combustible liquids
� Bonding and grounding
� Sandblasting
� Compressed gas
� Driving
� Availability and use of Personal Protective Equipment
� Chemical Hazards
� Storage of waste paint/solvents
� Explosions due to cross mixing of solvent and waterborne waste streams
How to assess the significance of Hazards
Not all hazards are created equal. Some may be minor or very unlikely to occur. Others may be very likely to occur or have serious consequences.
Once you have identified all the hazards in your workplace, use the Hazard Management Tool (included at the end of this document) to rank them as high, medium or low. The form will help you to give each hazard a risk rating. A risk rating takes into account the probability of a hazard causing an accident and the severity of the consequences should an accident occur. The ranking will tell you which hazards to address first.
For further details on hazards in your workplace, consult these wsps solutions

� Inspecting your Workplace
� Inspecting Physical Conditions Guidelines for Setting Standards

How to address significant Hazards Starting with your highest ranked hazards, look for ways to eliminate or control them. Hazard controls are measures or barriers designed to eliminate or reduce the risk of exposure to the hazard. Some examples of hazard controls:
� Keeping floors clean and free from grease, water or wires running across floors and walkways. Uneven floors should ideally be marked.
� Training employees on safe lifting and carrying techniques (trays, boxes)
� Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, or masks
� Guards to protect employees from a machine’s blade or moving part
� A procedure that outlines how to perform a task safely
Hazards can be controlled in one of three locations; at the source, along the path, or at the worker.
At the source source refers to eliminating the hazard entirely. This is the ideal method of control.
Along the path refers to the flow of materials and processes through the workplace. A control along the path would place a barrier between the employee and the hazard.
At the worker refers to a means of protecting the employee from the hazard. This includes Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, or masks. A control at the worker is the least effective and should be a last resort.
When you address hazards, also make sure to take into account the legislation and best practices that apply to that hazard.
How to put controls into action The final step in protecting employees from hazards is to implement your controls. For each hazard, write an action plan to outline what actions will be taken to control it. Assign someone to be responsible for each action, and a date for completing it. Make sure the action steps are achievable and the timeframes are realistic.
Your plan should include informing employees about how the hazard will be addressed, or training them on how to deal safely with the hazard. After the plan is implemented, follow up to make sure that the controls are successful.
