Automotive Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Automotive workshops mix vehicles, hoists, rotating equipment and hazardous substances in tight spaces. Without clear procedures, technicians may improvise, increasing the chance of injuries and damage.
BlueSafe’s Automotive SOPs provide step-by-step guidance for common workshop tasks to keep work organised and safe.
Typical Automotive SOP Topics
Automotive SOPs may cover:
- operating vehicle hoists and jacks
- servicing engines, brakes and suspension
- using tyre changers and wheel balancers
- handling oils, coolants and other automotive chemicals
Each SOP is written to complement your SWMS and Risk Assessments for higher-risk work.
What’s Inside an Automotive SOP
Each SOP typically includes:
- purpose and task scope
- PPE, tools and equipment required
- pre-start checks and vehicle identification steps
- step-by-step operating or servicing instructions
- shutdown, clean-up and waste disposal steps
- reminders about housekeeping and customer vehicle protection
You can adjust these sections to match your standard job cards and service procedures.
