GENERAL WORKSHOP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

It is essential that all tools and equipment are maintained in good condition and the correct safety equipment used
where required.
Never use tools or equipment for any purpose other than that for which they were designed.
Never overload equipment such as hoists, jacks, axle and chassis stands or lifting slings. Damage caused by over-
loading is not always immediately apparent and may result in a fatal failure the next time that the equipment is used.
Do not use damaged or defective tools or equipment, particularly high speed equipment such as grinding wheels. A
damaged grinding wheel can disintegrate without warning and cause serious injury.
Wear suitable eye protection when using grinding, chiselling or sand blasting equipment.
Wear a suitable breathing mask when using sand blasting equipment, working with asbestos based materials or using
spraying equipment.
Glues
see Adhesives and Sealers.
High Pressure Air, Lubrication and Oil Test Equipment accordance with local regulations
see Lubricants and Greases.
Always keep high pressure equipment in good condition and regularly maintained, particularly at joints and unions.
Never direct a high pressure nozzle at the skin as the fluid may penetrate to the underlying tissue etc. and cause
serious injury.

LEGAL ASPECTS

Many laws and regulations make requirements relating to health and safety in the use of materials and equipment in
workshops. Always conform to the laws and regulations applicable to the country in which you are working.
Workshops should be familiar, in detail, with the associated laws and regulations. Consult the local factory inspec-
torate or appropriate authority if in any doubt.

LUBRICANTS AND GREASES

Avoid all prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oils, especially used oils. Used oils contaminated during service
(e.g. routine service change sump oils) are more irritating and more likely to cause serious effects including skin
cancer in the event of gross and prolonged skin contact.
Wash skin thoroughly after work involving oil. Proprietary hand cleaners may be of value provided they can be re-
moved from the skin with water. Do not use petrol, paraffin or other solvents to remove oil from the skin.
Lubricants and greases may be slightly irritating to the eyes.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact should be avoided by wearing protective clothing if necessary. Particular care
should be taken with used oils and greases containing lead. Do not allow work clothing to be contaminated with oil.
Dry clean or launder such clothing at regular intervals. Discard oil soaked shoes.
Do not employ used engine oils as lubricants or for any application where appreciable skin contact is likely to occur.
Used oils may only be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
