This multimedia CD-ROM uses video, animation and still photos to examine the topics of general shop safety, fire safety and prevention, first aid, and safe tool use for mechanics. The segment dealing with overall shop safety emphasizes the link between cleanliness and organization, as well as personal safety considerations of glasses, earplugs, shoes, and clothes. The first aid portion suggests that a certified first aid class be taken, but it offers an excellent survey of first aid practices, including what NOT to do. Correct fire extinguisher usage is illustrated by memorable graphics. The auto workshop is portrayed as a work site of numerous potential hazards, while at the same time the viewer is taught how to cope with the challenges of volatile auto products, damaged electrical cords, and welding cylinders and their contents. The mechanic’s tools are shown to be a statement of their owner’s professionalism. It seeks to foster that professionalism by describing the safe care and use of hand and power tools, wrenches, auto body tools, and measuring devices. One Windows/Macintosh CD-ROM. A Shopware Production.
