INDUSTRY NEWS STUDY SAYS: This is the dirtiest part of a car If you need a new marketing strategy, a recent study might give you the ultimate opportunity. According to the study, a car stereo is 371% (or four times) dirtier than a communal office toilet seat. According to a July report in The Drive, a recent study conducted by Compare the Market discovered the top five dirtiest parts of a car’s interior. “Compare the Market is an automotive insurance comparison website based in the United Kingdom, and its study involved testing ten different vehicles using high-end surface test swabs and computing systems to determine Relative Light Units (RLU). An RLU reading is then compared to the amount of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) collected during the swab. Basically, the dirtier the test area, the larger the ATP amount, producing a higher RLU reading. A high RLU reading means gross, dirty, germy, cringing levels of disgust.” The ten vehicles tested included family cars, work vans and luxury vehicles. Each of the following areas were swabbed: The shifter, indicator stalks, steering wheel, driver seatbelt and seat, interior door handle, windshield, stereo/ touchscreen, and rearview mirror. The study also swabbed a toilet seat at an office building to have a comparison in bacteria levels, the story said. According to the results, the dirtiest area of a car is the stereo and in second place was the shifter, racking up an RLU reading 331 percent higher than the toilet. HERE ARE THE TOP 5 DIRTIEST AREAS: 1. Stereo 2. Gear Stick 3. Indicator 4. Steering Wheel 5. Handbrake “Other results in this test showed that a family car’s interior could be up to twice as dirty as a work van. So, according to this study, a contractor’s drywall dust-covered F-150 is probably cleaner to eat in than a new Lexus SUV with two car-seats in the back,” the story said. OSHA offers poster geared toward automobile industry workers A new poster, available in English and Spanish, lists steps to protect automotive service workers from exposure to coronavirus. Steps to Protect Automotive Service Workers from Exposure to Coronavirus The following steps can help reduce the risk of exposure to the coronavirus for automotive service workers: Encourage workers to stay home if they are sick. Provide gloves and masks or other face coverings. Maintain at least six feet between co‐workers and customers, where possible. Offer pick‐up and drop‐off service. Close or limit customers in reception areas and waiting rooms. Use "no‐touch" options for payments and appointments. Regularly clean and disinfect all tools and equipment. Discourage the sharing of tools and equipment. Cover seats and sanitize key fobs and steering wheels before and after service. Encourage workers to report any safety and health concerns.
