What personal protective equipment should I use when servicing/maintaining my golf cart?

When servicing or maintaining your golf cart, it’s important to wear the right personal protective equipment (PPE) to stay safe. Here’s a list of recommended PPE:

1. Safety Glasses/Goggles: Protect your eyes from flying debris, sparks, or chemicals (e.g., battery acid, cleaning products).

2. Gloves: Wear durable work gloves (preferably insulated if working with electrical components like the battery) to protect your hands from sharp edges, electrical hazards, and chemicals.

3. Hearing Protection: If you’re using loud power tools or working in a noisy environment, earplugs or earmuffs can protect your hearing.

4. Closed-toe Shoes/Boots: Wear sturdy, non-slip shoes with steel toes if possible, to protect your feet from heavy tools, parts, or falling objects.

5. Long Sleeves and Pants: These can protect you from sparks, hot surfaces, or contact with chemicals, especially when working near the engine or battery.

6. Respiratory Protection: If you're working with chemicals that release fumes or dust (like sanding or spraying), wear a dust mask or respirator to avoid inhaling harmful particles or vapors.

7. Knee Pads: If you're frequently kneeling to work on the cart, knee pads will help protect your knees from strain or injury.

Make sure you're working in a well-ventilated area, especially when dealing with the battery or fuel, and always follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions for specific safety guidelines.
