 Introduction   
Automobile repair is a career composed  of a lot of skilled workers, such as auto -engineer, technicians, 
washers, spray -painters, administration and finance staff who work  in an environment that have been 
identified among sources of environmental pollution because of the unregulated pra ctices of workers, 
inappropriate site construction and location . 
Employee safety is also a challenge due to chemicals exposure that causes a wide range of biological effects 
depending upon the level and duration of exposure and a high fire rating due to presence of Flammable 
liquids into the auto -repair workshop.  
Services offered are questione d as in some case cars are fitted with substandard spare parts, garages use 
unqualified technicians, absence of proper garages e quipment and lack of control have  been identified as 
obstacles to good service provision  
This standards aims to ensure that gara ge service providers deliver acceptable, safe, efficient and quality 
service that meet customer satisfaction and assist garages owners/managers to implement effective 
preventive  measures for workplace since from building up to utilization
