Safety
Whilst working on powered mobility products, it is essential to observe good working
practice.
Below are a series of safety guidelines and recommendations.

intended to supersede or replace any safety statute, NHS or other safety regulations.
General
•
Always wear suitable protective clothing when handling batteries.
•
Always wear suitable eye protection when drilling or inspecting.
•
When safe to do so, wear protective gloves when handling the running gear or batter-
ies, as these parts are exposed to paths, parks etc.
•
If the drive wheels have to be raised of the floor, always use a pair of axle stands to
secure the vehicle correctly.
Batteries
All work carried out on batteries or battery boxes should demand a degree of extra caution.
•
Always make sure that the batteries are disconnected from the vehicle before com-
mencing work.
•
Always check that the battery charger is disconnected from the vehicle / batteries be-
fore commencing work.

Always try to keep someone within earshot of your work area so that they may come to
your assistance if needed.

Always wear personnel protection when handling batteries including, eye / face protec-
tion and gloves.
•
Make sure there is easy access to soap and water in case of acid spills.
•
Avoid touching eyes or unprotected parts of the body while working on batteries.

Remember that none sealed batteries can contaminate any packaging, housing, or
boxes they may have been transported in, so handle all packaging with care especially
when disposing of.

immediately using plenty of soap and water. If battery acid enters the eyes, flush with
running cold water for as long as possible while medical help is sought.
