SECTION 1 PU-1700; PU-2100 1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited biodegradability. While carrying out maintenance and repair work which involves the risk of an oil leak, this work should take place on an oil resistant floor or surface. In the event of oil leaking into the environment, first of all contain the source of the leak, and then collect the leaked oil using available means.
