D1.2 demonstrate good housekeeping and safety practices in the work environment (e.g., cleaning up spills and leaks, keeping areas clean and clear of obstructions);
D1.3 identify potential health risks (e.g., asbestos dust, fumes from brake fluid and cleaners) when servicing vehicles or craft, and demonstrate the use of safe procedures to mitigate these hazards (e.g., use appropriate ventilation and breathing protection);
D1.4 use protective clothing and equipment
(e.g., eye and hearing protection, gloves, breathing apparatus, hoist, safety stand) as required to ensure their own and others’ safety in the
work environment;
D1.5 explain the need for and demonstrate the ability to follow appropriate safety precautions applicable to new technologies when working around or servicing vehicles, craft, or power equipment (e.g., precautions regarding high cur- rent and voltage, capacitor discharge rate of sup- plemental restraint systems, extreme temperature of exhaust systems, accumulators in hydraulic systems, pressure vessels);
D1.6 demonstrate an understanding of profession- al responsibilities in the transportation industry with regard to personal and public safety (e.g.,
good workmanship, integrity, high-quality customer service, compliance with manufacturers’ standards).
By the end of this course, students will:
