Introduction
In order to work safely, it is extremely important that all workshop equipment is maintained and inspected before it is used each time.
Taking care of tools and equipment, and keeping them well maintained, will make them last longer before needing replacement.
Next >
Tool Cleaning
Tools are expensive items, so it is essential they are kept clean and in good working order.
Some tools may need cleaning with high pressure air.
They should be kept clean by wiping off any dirt, grease, or metal chips before being stored.
Next >
Tool Storage
Never leave tools lying round the workshop.
Lost tools would be expensive to replace, but they may also cause damage or injury if left in the vehicle, especially in the engine bay!
After a job always check under the vehicle, under the bonnet, and inside the vehicle for tools that may have been accidentally left behind.
Next >
Tool Storage
Small hand tools, such as screwdrivers, pliers, or spanners, can be hung on a panel or pegboard mounted on the wall.
Measuring instruments, gauges, and meters should be stored where they cannot be damaged by weather or impact with other tools.
Small tools may also be stored in a chest, cabinet, or tray system.

Maintenance and Calibration
Maintenance and calibration schedules help prevent failure or breakdown of workshop tools and equipment.
Next >
Maintenance schedules ensure that equipment and tools are regularly checked and serviced.
Calibration schedules are used to check calibration of precision equipment.
