Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to
adapt working practices
which
prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk
of
skin contact
with
mineral oils, for
example by using enclosed systems for
handling used engine oil
and by
degreasing components.
where practicable, before handling
them.
Other precautions:
.
Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, pafticular-
ly
used engine
oils.
o
Wear protective clothing, including impeMous
gloves
where practicable.
o
Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants.
with
oil.
o
Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls without
pockets will
avoid this.
.
Do not wear
heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated
foot-wear. Overalls must be cleaned
regularly and
kept
separate
from
personal clothing.
o
Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should
be
worn, for example, chemical goggles
or face shields; in
addition an eye wash facility should be
provided.
o
Obtain First Aid treatment immediately for open cuts
and
wounds.
o
Wash
regularly
with
soap and water
to
ensure all oil
is
removed, especially before meals (skin cleansers and
nail
brushes
will
help).
After
cleaning,
the
application of
preparations containing lanolin
to
replace the natural skin
oils is
advised.
o
Do
not
use
petrol, kerosine,
diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners
or
solvents
for
cleaning
skin.
o
Use
barrier creams, applying them
before each work
period, to
help the removal of oil from the skin after work.
.
lf
skin disorders develop, obtain
medical advice without
delay.
