The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has issued a motor vehicle repair bulletin relating to fatal accidents while working on incorrectly supported vehicles. HSE says it is aware of at least eight fatal accidents since 2019 due to work being carried out on incorrectly supported vehicles or cabs (not pictured). The bulletin states: "Never work beneath a vehicle that is only supported on jacks. Use axle stands that are in good condition and inspected every year. Use stands on firm, level ground and securely located under a strong point on the vehicle. Securely chock wheels remaining on the ground. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the stand. |
