Fire
The employer must inform and train all personnel on the measures that must be taken in case of a
vehicle and/or loaded body catching fire.
Anytime a loaded vehicle is brought inside a garage, fire extinguishers shall be close at hand.
The employer must also inform employees of an appropriate place to unload the body near the
maintenance facility (preferably away from traffic, surface drains, and ditches).

at the shop, it is the employer’s responsibility to establish and see to the application of a proper
lockout and tagout procedure.
