INTRODUCTION
Exhaust fumes
These contain asphyxiating, harmful and toxic chemicals and particles such as carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, alde-
hydes, lead and aromatic hydrocarbons. Engines should only be run under conditions of adequate extraction or
general ventilator and not in confined spaces.
Gasoline (petrol) engine
There may not be adequate warning properties of odor or irritation before immediate and delayed toxic or harmful
effects arise.
Diesel engine
Soot, discomfort and irritation usually give adequate warning of hazardous fume concentrations.
Fibre insulation
see Ducts
Used in noise and sound insulation.
The fibrous nature of surfaces and cut edges can cause skin irritation. This is usually a physical and not a chemical
effect.
Precautions should be taken to avoid excessive skin contact through careful organization of work practices and the
use of gloves.
Fire
see Welding, Foams, and Legal Aspects.
Many of the materials found on or associated with the repair of vehicles are highly inflammable. Some give off toxic
or harmful fumes if burnt.
Observe strict fire safety when storing and handling flammable materials or solvents, particularly near electrical equip-
ment or welding processes.
Ensure before using electrical or welding equipment but that there is no fire hazard present.
Have suitable fire extinguisher available when using welding or heating equipment.
First aid
Apart from meeting any legal requirements its desirable for someone in the workshop to be trained in first aid proce-
dures.
Splashes in the eye should be flushed with clean water for at least ten minutes.
Soiled skin should be washed with soap and water.
Inhalation affected individuals should be removed to fresh air immediately.
If swallowed or if effects persist consult a doctor with information (label) on material used.
Do not induce vomiting (unless indicated by manufacturer)
Foams
see Fire.
Used in sound and noise insulation. Cured foams used in seat and trim cushioning.
Follow manufacturers' instructions.
Unreacted components are irritating and may be harmful to the skin and eyes. Wear gloves and goggles.
Individuals with chronic respiratory diseases, asthma, bronchial medical problems or histories of allergic diseases
should not work with or near uncured materials.
The components, vapors, spray mists can cause direct irritation, sensitivity reactions and may be toxic or harmful.
Vapors and spray mists must not be breathed. These materials must be applied with adequate ventilation and respi-
ratory protection. Do not remove respirator immediately after spraying, wait until vapor/ mists have cleared.
Burning of the uncured components and the cured foams can generate toxic and harmful fumes.
Smoking, open flames or the use of electrical equipment during foaming operations and until vapors/mists have
cleared should not be allowed. Any heat cutting of cured foams or partially cured - foams should be conducted with
extraction ventilation (see Body Section 44 Legal and Safety Aspects).
