Shop Visit Safety

Shop providers are responsible for maintaining a safe environment for customers, staff, and vehicles on-site. These are the basics every shop on the platform should have in place.

Work Area

1. 1

   Clear and organized floor

   • Keep floors clear of tools, fluids, and debris — slips and trips are the most common shop injury
   • Ensure adequate lighting across all work areas
2. 2

   Lift and jack safety

   • Only use rated lifts and stands — inspect before each use
   • Chock wheels and engage safety locks before going under any vehicle
   • Never allow customers under a lifted vehicle
3. 3

   Fire safety

   • Keep a charged fire extinguisher accessible at all times
   • Store flammable fluids in approved containers away from heat and ignition sources

Waste and Fluid Disposal

1. 1

   Proper disposal required

   • Dispose of used oil, fluids, and materials in compliance with local regulations
   • Never pour used oil or coolant down a drain — use an authorized recycling facility

Customer Areas

1. 1

   Keep customers out of active bays

   • Do not allow customers into active work areas — walk-throughs of completed work are the exception
   • Maintain a clean, safe waiting area separate from the work zone
