Safety Precautions for Your Visit to an Auto Salvage Yard

Post by: GDMadmin September 25, 2019

Auto repair can be expensive, especially when you choose to buy parts brand new. If you’re looking for a steal on some gently used auto parts, auto salvage yards are a great solution. However, if you aren’t careful, they can also be dangerous. Unlike a typical auto parts store, at a salvage yard, you’ll be taking apart pieces of vehicles yourself. This increases the potential for injury. The good news is the bargains are often worth the hazards if you come prepared. These five simple precautions will help you safely navigate your visit to an auto salvage yard.

Read the Salvage Yard’s Safety Rules

All auto salvage yards have their own set of safety policies. Most of the time, these will be posted in a visible area and on the company website. The surefire way to stay safe is to simply follow the rules. The owner of the auto salvage yard created every policy for a reason, so don’t neglect them.

Wear Suitable Clothing

There are sharp objects and heavy parts everywhere in a salvage yard. Be sure to wear appropriate clothing to protect your hands, feet, and eyes. If possible, you should wear construction gloves, steel toe boots, and safety glasses. If you want to be extra safe, you can even consider wearing a hard hat.

Stay Aware

It should go without saying, but avoid alcohol or drug use before visiting a salvage yard. Be sure to get a good night’s rest the night before and come awake and alert. It’s essential to be constantly aware of your surroundings. Know where other people and your tools are at all times, and be prepared to act fast in the event of a mishap.

Use Appropriate Tools

Almost all salvage yards will have a list of what tools are allowed. Don’t bring anything that’s not on the list. Avoid any tools with open sparks or flames. In addition, use the right tools for the jobs. As a pro tip, you might also consider bringing a flashlight and a friend, too.

Take Advantage of the Staff

The staff can be your best asset to avoiding any injuries, and they cant assist you in quickly finding what you are in search of. If you’re in doubt about an allowed tool, an available part, or any procedure, always reach out to the staff. Also, if you see anything dangerous going on, report it.

Use these five tips and a little common sense, and your trip to the auto salvage should go off without a hitch! For a huge selection of used auto parts in Massachusetts, visit or contact Robertson’s Auto Salvage Yard.
