Fire - Geely EC718 2009 Workshop Manual

Vehicle Overview

1.6.1.15 Fire

Many materials related to vehicle maintenance are extremely
flammable. Some materials will produce toxic and harmful
gases after burnt.
When storing and handling flammable materials or solvents,
follow the fire safety rules, especially near the electrical
equipment or the welding operation areas.
Before use electric welding equipment, make sure there is no
fire hazard.
When conducting welding or using a heating equipment,
always have an appropriate fire extinguisher ready in the area
around the job.
1.6.1.16 First Aid
Not only comply with the law, but also have first aid trained
personnel ready in the work area.
If the eyes are splashed, rinse eyes with fresh water for at least
10 min.
If the skin is contaminated, you need to use soap and fresh
water to clean the contaminated area.
If you get frostbite, immerse the frostbite body part in ice water
or cold water.
If a staff inhaled toxic gases, that staff should be immediately
transported to a place with fresh air. If that staff still has
symptoms of inhaling toxic gases,the staff should be
immediately taken to a hospital for medical treatment.
If you accidentally swallow the liquid, inform the doctor the
information marked on the container label. Unless there are
instructions on the label, the affected person can not be guided
vomit.
1.6.1.17 Foam - Polyurethane
Refer to 1.6.1.15 Fire.
Cured foam is used for seat cushion with the decoration.
Comply with manufacturers instructions.
Components that are not treated through chemical reactions
may be irritating. They may be harmful to the skin and eyes.
Wear gloves and goggles when operating.
Staff with chronic respiratory diseases, asthma, bronchial
problems, or suffering from hereditary allergies should not deal
with or come close to the uncured substances.
Certain spare parts, steam or spray may cause allergy. They
may be toxic and harmful.
Health and Safety
Remember
Do not inhale vapor or spray. These materials must be used at
a well ventilated place or with respiratory protection measures.
Do not immediately remove the mask after spraying. Wait for
the steam and the spray completely dissipated.
Uncured components and cured foam will produce toxic and
harmful gases, during the bubble operation. Unless the steam
and the spray has been completely removed, do not smoke or
use fire and electrical equipment. Any foam material or special
foam cutting should be carried out at a well-ventilated place.
1.6.1.18 Fuel
Minimize direct contact with the skin of fuel. Immediately wash
the skin with soap and clean water after direct contact with fuel.
Gasoline
Highly Flammable - Comply with the smoking ban.
If swallowed,gasoline can cause irritation to the mouth and
throat. If absorbed in stomach, gasoline can lead to weakness
and unconsciousness. Only a small amount of gasoline will
affect the lives of children. If the gasoline enters into the lungs,
it is very dangerous.
Gasoline will cause dry skin. Prolonged or frequent contact with
gasoline will cause skin allergies and skin infection. Gasoline
entering the eye will cause severe eye pain.
Motor vehicle used gasoline contains a large amount of
benzene. Inhaling gasoline can cause poisoning. The
concentration of gasoline vapor must be kept at low. High
concentration of gasoline vapor can cause eye, nose and throat
irritation as well as nausea, headache, depression, physical
discomfort and drunken behavior. High concentration of
gasoline vapor will lead to rapid loss of consciousness.
When handling gasoline, we must maintain good ventilation,
with special attention to operate in a confined space. Avoid
splashing when pouring gasoline to reduce the risk caused by
inhaling gasoline vapor.
Pay special attention when cleaning and carry out maintenance
of gas storage equipment.
Gasoline can not be used as cleaning agents to use. Do not
suck gasoline.
