Automotive worker reviewing manufacturer safety information beside an open car in a professional workshop

Airbags and seatbelt pretensioners can retain hazardous stored energy and may contain pyrotechnic articles. This course helps staff recognise where restraint devices may be encountered, understand why apparently inactive vehicles and components still need controlled decisions, follow safe receiving and storage arrangements, identify unsafe handling, respond to damage or unexpected deployment, and preserve holds through clear reporting and handover.
