Revolutionizing Workshop Safety: New Guide for Automotive Mechanics Launched

Pro-Visual Publishing is proud to announce the national release of the Automotive Mechanics Guide to Workplace Safety 2024/25. This essential resource has been meticulously crafted to address the unique work health and safety challenges faced by automotive mechanics across Australia.

Endorsed and supported by key industry associations, including the Institute of Automotive Mechanical Engineers (IAME), Australian Lubricants Association (ALA), National Safety Council of Australia (NSCA), Australian Autoglass Industry Alliance (AAIA), and Australian Automatic Transmission Rebuilders (AATR), this guide is set to become an indispensable tool for automotive professionals.


The AR-enhanced guide redefines the traditional training experience, providing a hands-on approach that not only accelerates the learning process but also ensures full comprehension and proper execution of safety procedures. By integrating AR, this guide makes complex automotive tasks more intuitive, helping reduce workplace accidents and improve overall performance in the industry.


John Hutchings, CEO of Pro-Visual Publishing, stated: "Our mission is to provide both industry professionals and business leaders with a valuable, practical tool that promotes a safer working environment. Through close collaboration with key industry associations, we have ensured that this guide is both comprehensive and highly relevant, addressing the specific safety needs of mechanics across the country. We would like to thank all of our Corporate Partners who made it possible for this guide to be launched."

Executive Summary On AI and Vehicle Safety

by Antonella Abbate • 18 December 2025
AI is now core to the latest generation of ADAS: deep-learning perception stacks, on-board real-time inference and sensor fusion enable crash-avoidance features that demonstrably reduce collision rates (notably AEB/FCW), while vehicle dynamics control is evolving from rule-based ESC to predictive, AI-assisted torque-vectoring and integrated stability management. Modern systems combine camera/radar (and in some programs lidar, mapping and environmental sensing) to detect, predict and act within fractions of a second; this increases safety but also creates new service obligations — precise sensor calibration, validated software/firmware management, authenticated OTA updates and documented post-repair procedures.

LOCTITE Threadlockers: Upgraded for Performance and Sustainability

by Antonella Abbate • 17 December 2025
For workshops and maintenance operations that take a conservative, risk-averse approach to chemical use, changes to a product’s chemical formulation matter far more than marketing claims. LOCTITE’s latest generation of threadlockers represents a quiet but significant shift in this regard: a reformulation driven not just by performance outcomes, but by chemical risk reduction and sustainability considerations .
