1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD

A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited
biodegradability. The negligible solubility of oil in water does not cause extreme toxicity of
organisms living in the aquatic environment. Oil leaks to bodies of water can however reduce
the amount of oxygen.
Maintenance and repair works involving the risk of an oil leak must be carried out on an oil
resistant floor or surface. In the event of oil leak into the environment, first of all secure the
source of the leak, and then collect the spilled oil using available means. The remaining oil
should be collected by mean of sorbents, or by mixing the oil with sand, sawdust or other
absorbent materials. The oil pollution, once gathered up, should be kept in a sealed, marked,
hydrocarbon resistant container. The container should be kept away from heat sources,
flammable materials and food.
DANGER
Used hydraulic oil or its remains mixed with absorbent material should be stored in a
precisely marked container. Do not use food packaging for this purpose.
Used up oil or oil unsuitable for further use owing to a loss of its properties should be stored
in its original packaging in the conditions described above. Waste oil should be taken to an
