Operating a car wash business : Automatic car wash safety

Automatic car wash machine safety.

Follow the steps below to eliminate and avoid hazards and risks in the daily operation of your automatic car wash machines.

Do not enter the wash area while the machine is working.
Move carefully while in the wash area and be aware of protruding elements. This will prevent tripping over rails, centring guides, machine feet, positioning platform and other elements on the car wash bay.
To avoid tripping hazards, keep the wash bay well-lit.
Perform cleaning and maintenance operations periodically. Check the condition of the bay on a regular basis. Contact us to discuss our car wash maintenance services.
The floor in the wash area can be wet or dirty with engine oil so proceed with caution. A good cleaning practice is essential.
Wear protective equipment and wear safety shoes when undertaking cleaning and maintenance.
We strongly recommend that all maintenance tasks described in our rollovers’ user guides should be performed by authorised personnel.
Important: You should not manipulate electrical devices on rollovers such as electrical boxes, cabinets, motors, and junction boxes.
Contact your authorised Good Sight car wash installer in the event of a fault.
Indicating hazardous electrical areas adequately on the rollover will avoid unnecessary risks too.
