Full Description:
The safe use, handling and storage of flammable and explosive substances is critical in an automotive workshop or ELV depollution workplace. Fires and explosions cause serious property damage in motor vehicle workshops and ELV stations, and can result in death or serious injury. Mostly, they involve the mishandling of petrol when draining fuel tanks and lines, but incidents can also occur during hot work.
This training offers awareness of the hazards and risks associated with drilling and extracting flammable fuels from vehicles, as well as highlighting how to safely store these fuels after recovery.
