Warning On Oils; Health Protection Precautions - Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC Service Manual

The engine oil may be hot to the touch. Contact with hot oil may cause the skin to
be scalded or burned.
Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can lead to skin dryness, irritation
and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which can cause cancer. Wear suitable clothing and avoid skin
contact.

Health Protection Precautions

Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
Do not put oily rags in pockets.
Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard heavily soiled clothing and oil
impregnated footwear.
First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
Always be aware of who your nearest First Aider is and where the medical
facilities are kept.
Use barrier creams, applying before each work period to protect the skin from the
effects of oil and grease and to aid removal of the same after completing work.
Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail
brushes will help). Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils
which have been removed.
Do not use petrol, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning
skin.
If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
Any risk of eye injury must be avoided. Always wear eye protection when using a
hammer, air line, cleaning agent or where there is ANY risk of flying debris or
chemical splashing.
