Having recovered stolen vehicles inspected by SHARPS Australia is particularly imperative for Auction Yards, Towing Yards & Auto Wreckers as the hazards can sit around for years before potentially causing injury.
Dangerous hazards can be hidden in the most obscure places. Often after a stolen vehicle is recovered, hazards are found purposely concealed in places under the bonnet, within the steering wheel, buried under seats, and hidden through storage compartments.
If not thoroughly checked initially, vehicles can be handed over to car yards, private buyers or sit in Auto Wrecker yards for months, or even years before the hazard is found. This imposes a particularly dangerous threat to the staff working with these vehicles, or a new owner of the vehicle.
“My team are not trained to know where these people hide these things. It’s not worth the risk to our team or Suncorp.”
Glenn, Head Assessor, Suncorp Insurance Hub at Manheim Auctions.
So if you work with a vehicle Auction Yard, Towing Yard or have an Auto Wrecking business, insist that any stolen vehicle you receive is badged with a SHARPS Australia ‘inspected’ sticker. It is the only way to ensure the safety of your people, and to protect your business from the potential repercussions of accidental injury.
