Tags: , , , , ,

Repair Shop Websites wants to warn drivers of the increased danger as Daylight Saving Time ends. The shorter days create safety hazards for everyone on the road. Everyone should be aware of the possible dangers.  AAA reports in this article that:

“According to the National Safety Council, traffic death rates are three times greater at night than during the day, she said, adding that 90 percent of a driver’s reaction depends on vision, which is severely limited at night. After sundown, a motorist’s depth perception, color recognition, and peripheral vision are compromised, she said.”

Here at Repair Shop Websites and Body Shop Websites, we want to not only give insightful information for your shop’s business, but to also tell you to keep in mind the safety of yourself and others while on the job.  Working in conditions such as auto repair and body shops put people in risks of accidents that can occur within the shop. Make sure that your workers are aware of possible dangers and use precaution when working machinery as well as electrical outlets.
