Shop safety rules that actually get followed
Every shop has rules. Most have them on a faded poster nobody reads. The rules only work if the newest tech knows them by the end of day one, in a language they read.

The rules
Safety glasses in the bay, always. Lift on the pinch welds, shake it before it goes up, never work under an unsupported vehicle. Used oil in the used oil container, labeled; oily rags in the covered can; nothing down the floor drain. Guards on tools. No hot work near fuel or solvents. Know the extinguisher, the eyewash, the first aid kit.
Why the poster fails
A poster is one language, one place, and invisible after a week. A rule that lives on the tech's phone, in their language, one step at a time at the station, gets read — and you know it was read.
New tech, day one
Before they lift a vehicle or open a fluid: the rules, in their language, confirmed. Not a walkthrough while the shop is slammed. Two minutes on their phone before they touch anything.
How it works
- Talk it in. Walk through the job out loud, in whatever language you think in.
- Get a clear routine. Tiendo structures it into steps, safety notes and checkpoints, then translates it into your team's language — numbers and times kept exact.
- Your team reads and confirms. Post a QR code or hand a new hire one link. They read it on their phone and tap "read and understood."
