Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Service and Repair Manual: Safety Section
The occupational safety regulations include provisions on preventative measures for avoiding damage and accidents. As the occupational safety regulations are country- specific, this document only lists general information on occupational health and safety for working with steel.
The general, non-material-specific protection and hygiene measures in the workshop must always be observed.
Protective equipment
The following table provides an overview of the general personal protective equipment for material processing:
| Protective equipment | MAG welding | Spot welding | Sanding / Grinding & Cutting |
| Protective shoes | X | X | X |
| Work clothing | X | X | X |
| Safety goggles | X | X | |
| Welding gloves | X | ||
| General protection gloves | X | X | |
| General apron | |||
| Latex gloves | |||
| Fine dust mask | X | ||
| Breathing protection with filter* | |||
| Ear defenders | X | ||
| Welding apron, clothing suitable for welding | X | X | |
| Welding shield, welding mask | X |
*only if there is insufficient ventilation
The up-to-date guidelines and notes in the workshop information system ISTA must always be observed. In addition to the general protective equipment, country-specific provisions must also be complied with where applicable.
Working area
A safe and high-quality working environment requires cleanliness and order. When processing steel components, workers must always not only ensure that they themselves are safe, but also that other work bays and employees are not put at risk.
| Protective equipment | MAG welding | Spot Welding | Sanding / Grinding & Cutting | Bonding |
| Partition walls, protective curtains | X | X | X | |
| Welding emission extraction | X |
A fire extinguisher must always be close to hand during work with a raised level of fire risk for example MAG welding.
The up-to-date guidelines and notes in the workshop information system ISTA must always be observed. In addition to the general protective measures for the working area, country- specific provisions must also be complied with where applicable.
Tools
The general and country-specific safety regulations for work with tools for processing metal must be complied with.
The general safety regulations are:
Do not clean tools with compressed air.
Do not use abrasives that have already been used for processing aluminum.
Always separate tools for steel processing and aluminum processing.
Environment
The proper disposal and recycling of materials are described in the environmental protection law. The laws serve to protect natural resources and preserve the environment. Environmental protection laws are regulated on a market-specific basis.
Recycling
Scrap metals from vehicles are largely recyclable. The steel is added to the steel production process.
To separate the various materials in the body shell, the body shell is compressed into a bundle and shredded. The shredded material is separated into ferrous metals, non- ferrous metals and other materials. This is done with the sink-float method using their different weights.
Features of Welding
No restrictions on the shape of joint
Reduction in weight compared to using of bolts or rivets
Great strength
Airtight and watertight
High working efficiency
Some welding processes require higher weld ...
Welding of Automobile Body
The automobile body is fabricated by welding 0.6 mm - 1.4 mm (0.024 in - 0.055 in) thick sheet steel. Spot welding is most suitable in terms of cost, quality and working efficiency. On the automobile ...
