Task A-1 Performs safety-related functions

Task Descriptor

Truck and transport mechanics create and maintain a safe work environment to ensure safety of equipment and personnel. They must wear personal protective equipment (PPE), use safety equipment, and follow manufacturers’ service information when performing certain tasks.

Truck and transport mechanics are increasingly working on electric motors, inverters, converters, high-voltage batteries and associated support systems in hybrid and electric vehicles (EV). Safety is of paramount importance due to the risk of electrocution when working with high voltages.
