INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Safely Use & Maintain Tools & Equipment in Automotive Workplaces course. This course only includes a challenge assessment designed to assess your knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competence in selecting, using, servicing, maintaining and storing tools and equipment safely and correctly in an automotive workplace, in line with workplace instructions, manufacturer procedures and safety requirements.

Safely using and maintaining tools and equipment in an automotive workplace involves choosing the correct tool for the job, confirming it is serviceable, using it correctly with appropriate PPE, and then completing basic servicing, cleaning, checking and storage so tools remain safe, accurate and ready for future use. Automotive workplaces rely on a wide range of hand tools, power tools, air tools and vehicle lifting and supporting equipment, and unsafe selection or use can lead to injuries, damaged components, inaccurate work and serious incidents. Effective tool and equipment practices support safe daily work, protect equipment condition, and ensure workshop productivity and consistent quality outcomes.

The course assessment focuses on your ability to interpret workplace instructions, make informed decisions about tool and equipment selection and serviceability, and recognise the practical steps required to use and maintain tools safely within your scope of responsibility. You will be required to demonstrate how you determine job requirements from workplace instructions, select tools and equipment that meet job requirements, and check tools and equipment for serviceability in accordance with manufacturer and workplace procedures before use.

By successfully completing this course assessment, you will have demonstrated that you can interpret and apply the core requirements for safely using and maintaining tools and equipment in an automotive workplace, including selecting appropriate tools for job requirements, confirming serviceability, using tools and PPE correctly, completing servicing and adjustment within your scope, cleaning and checking tools after use, storing tools properly, and tagging, removing and reporting faulty tools and equipment—confirming your readiness to use and maintain automotive workplace tools and equipment safely and effectively.
