Description

Workers working in an automotive workshop are exposed to many dangerous substances. The 'Hazardous Substances Check' helps automotive workshops to carry out a risk assessment and to decide on the protective measurements required, depending on the potential hazard. The 'Hazardous Substances Check' supports companies in compiling the necessary information required to undertake each protective activity associated with hazardous substances. A traffic light system (red-yellow-green) helps companies to decide on the appropriate prevention measures.
