- Simply avoid smoking every time you need to perform a task on your ride. You don�t want anything catching fire or blowing up now, do you?
- Avoid getting chemicals into your eyes. These include cleaners and antifreeze. Make sure you wash your hands after using such stuff and store them in places where your kids or your pets will be able to access them.
- Make sure that your garage or workshop has adequate ventilation at all times. This won�t be a problem if you work outside your place; otherwise, try to keep those doors and windows open to provide proper ventilation.
- Jewelry doesn�t belong in the garage. Sure, you look all bad-ass with all that bling, but if your necklace or rings get caught in some car part, you can get in serious trouble or you might even get into an accident.
- If you have long hair, tie it at the back so that it doesn�t get in the way. This will also keep your hair from getting ruined or caught in certain openings in your ride�s parts.
- We can�t stress this enough: make sure that your ride�s parking brake is engaged when you work on the vehicle. You must also ensure that the engine is shut off and that the car�s gear shifter is in the Park position.
- Use some wheel blocks to prevent rolling. If you don�t have proper blocks, you can use makeshift wooden blocks or even some decent-sized rocks.
- Have a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergencies.
Anyone in DIY auto repair should keep those things in mind to prevent injuries and accidents. Remember: safety in the shop is the number one priority.
Advanced Merry Christmas, guys!
