Assessment 1 – Questioning
Written Assessment
1. Identify five (5) important items of personal safety when working on drive shafts in an automotive
workplace?
1 Eye protection equipments such as safety glasses.
2 Use of high mechanical pressures while replacing the U- joints.
3 Proper lifting equipments and specialised safety jacks.
4 Carbon extinguisher.
5 Proper gloves and cotton clothes to avoid skin irritation due to acid spill.
2. What are the precautions that you should be aware of when handling final drive oil?
Avoid having contamination during the dispensing process. Having the oil in the right container. Dispensing with the
help of appropriate transfer equipment.

undercover areas. When the drums are of double layers, there is no need to store them in bounded areas. The
disposal options for dumping the waste oil are landfills, dust suppressions and incineration. It is important to make
sure that the containers in which drive oils are stored is not damaged.
Multiple choice. Circle the correct answer
4. When removing the drive shafts, what should you use to catch the waste final drive oil?
A. Drain pan.
B. Mop bucket.
C. Storm water drain.
D. Funnel.
5. When handling, trapping, storing and disposing of new or waste final drive oils, which document should you
use to find this information?
