Lifting vehicles is an industry standard in automotive repair
facilities worldwide. Putting a vehicle to working height is a
procedure that usually precludes an auto repair procedure. In this
lesson, the dangers associated with lifting a car are explored.
Safety is emphasized and taught at all phases of this lesson to
avoid injury or death. Damage to the lifts or vehicles is
secondary, but very important to avoid as part of the development
of relevant career skills. Knowing what is or is not a safe lift is
also important. This is part of the lesson so that students are
informed about manufacturing standards and certification in the
lift industry.
