Lubricants
Introduction
It is most important that you read and understand this
information and the publications referred to. Make sure all
your colleagues who are concerned with lubricants read it
too.
Hygiene
JCB lubricants are not a health risk when used properly for
their intended purposes.
However, excessive or prolonged skin contact can remove
the natural fats from your skin, causing dryness and
irritation.
Low viscosity oils are more likely to do this, so take special
care when handling used oils, which might be diluted with
fuel contamination.
Whenever you are handling oil products you should
maintain good standards of care and personal and plant
hygiene. For details of these precautions we advise you to
read the relevant publications issued by your local health
authority, plus the following.
Storage
Always keep lubricants out of the reach of children.
Never store lubricants in open or unlabelled containers.
Waste Disposal
!M
CAUTION
It is illegal to pollute drains, sewers or the ground.
Clean up all spilt fluids and/or lubricants.
Used fluids and/or lubricants, filters and contaminated
materials must be disposed of in accordance with
local regulations. Use authorised waste disposal sites.
