impervious apron and arm protectors may be necessary if more extensive exposure is
possible. Use of skin barrier creams suitable for work with mineral oil products may offer
some supplementary protection, but such barrier creams should not be used in place of
protective clothing.
If accidental skin contact occurs with the fluids, wash the area thoroughly with soap or skin
cleanser and water.
Accidental eye contact should be dealt with as per normal first aid practices, by flushing the
eyes with an eye wash or clean cool water for 10 minutes, after which medical attention
should be obtained.
Remove and launder clothing which becomes contaminated with the fluids. Do not place
rags contaminated with fluid in clothing pockets.
Wash thoroughly after completing operations where skin exposure may have occurred.
It is important that personnel do not smoke, eat or drink whilst handling the fluids or
affected transmissions. These measures are designed to limit the risk from accidental
ingestion.
Label any decanted fluid properly/use an equivalent label to that on original product
containers.
Clean up any spills promptly using an inert absorbent and wash down contaminated
surfaces with detergent and water.
Dispose of any waste fluids safely as hazardous waste.

Safety Data Sheets

Safety Data Sheets, which detail specific material handling instructions and precautions are
available from the respective national sales company, and via internet www.msds.ford.com.

Used Engine Oil

Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats
from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil
contains potentially harmful contaminants, which may cause skin cancer. Adequate means
of skin protection and washing facilities must be provided.
Do not employ used engine oils as lubricants or for any application where appreciable skin
contact is likely to occur.

Environmental Precautions

Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be recommended only for
units of approved design. If in doubt check with the appropriate local authority and
manufacturer of approved appliances.
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste disposal contractors or
licensed waste disposal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the
relevant local authority for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains, or into watercourses.

Noise

Some operations may produce high noise levels, which could, in time, damage hearing. In
these cases, suitable ear protection must be worn.
