Lead
• When working with lead or lead-containing compounds, avoid direct contact to the skin and do not
inhale lead vapors.
• Adopt suitable measures to avoid the formation of lead dust.
• Switch on extraction system.
• Wash hands after contact with lead or lead-containing substances.
Compressed air
Observe special safety precautions when working with compressed air:
• Pay special attention to the pressure level in the compressed air network and pressure vessel.
• Assemblies and equipment to be connected must either be designed for this pressure, or, if the per‐
mitted pressure for the connecting elements is lower than the pressure required, a pressure reducing
valve and safety valve (set to permitted pressure) must form an intermediate connection.
• Hose couplings and connections must be securely attached.
• Wear goggles when blowing off components or blowing away chips.
• Provide the snout of the air nozzle with a protective disk (e.g. rubber disk).
• First shut off compressed air lines before compressed air equipment is disconnected from the supply
line, or before equipment or tool is to be replaced.
• Unauthorized use of compressed air, e.g. forcing flammable liquids (danger class AI, AII and B) out of
containers, results in a risk of explosion.
• Forcing compressed air into thin-walled containers (e.g. containers made of tin, plastic and glass) for
drying purposes or to check for leaks, results in a risk of bursting.
• Carry out leak test in accordance with the specifications.
Painting
• When painting in other than spray booths equipped with extractors, ensure good ventilation. Make
sure that neighboring work areas are not impaired.
• No open flames.
• No smoking.
• Observe fire prevention regulations.
• Always wear a mask providing protection against paint and solvent vapors.
Liquid nitrogen
• Store liquid nitrogen only in small quantities and always in regulation containers without fixed covers.
• Avoid body contact (eyes, hands).
• Wear protective clothing, protective gloves, closed shoes and protective goggles / safety mask.
• Make sure that working area is well ventilated.
• Avoid all knocks and jars to the containers, fixtures or workpieces.
Acids and alkaline solutions
• When working with acids and alkaline solutions, wear protective goggles or face mask, gloves and
protective clothing.
• If such solutions are spilled onto clothing, remove the affected clothing immediately.
• Rinse injured parts of the body thoroughly with clean water.
• Rinse eyes immediately with eyedrops or clean tap water.
