Approach to Developing Auto Mechanics who are Knowledgeable about Safety Work

Auto mechanics working in maintenance shops have to carry out dangerous tasks during automotive maintenance work. This means that during automotive maintenance exercises, university students also have to carry out dangerous tasks. Therefore, it is necessary to equip them with safety skills and create an understanding of work safety. However, the low frequency of dangerous maintenance tasks tends to undermine the safety awareness during such work. Under this situation, extensive efforts are underway to produce experience-based learning materials in auto maintenance training and improve educational methods. The results show that an increase in awareness of dangers through the use of materials, which has made experiencing familiar cases or phenomena concerning dangerous articles possible, has led to an increase in safety awareness.
