3.1.3.1. Health regulations
•
Oil products, contents of cooling systems and batte-
ries, and paints including thinners are materials inju-
rious to health. The workers coming into contact with
these products when operating and maintaining the
machine must follow general principles of health
protection and safety and health instructions by ma-
nufacturers of these products.
We especially draw attention to:
- eyes and skin protection when working with batte-
ries
- skin protection when working with oil products,
painting compounds and coolants
- proper washing of hands after work and before
meals. Treat your hands with proper skin cream
- follow instructions in the operator’s manual when
working with cooling systems.
•
Store oil products, coolants and battery acids, pain-
ting compounds including organic thinners and clea-
ning and preservation agents always in their original,
properly marked containers. Avoid storing these ma-
terials in unmarked bottles or other containers becau-
se of risk of possible substitutions. Possible substi-
tution of food and beverages is particularly dange-
rous.
•
In case of accidental staining skin, mucous membra-
nes, eyes, or in case of inhaling fumes, immediately
apply first aid . In case of accidental ingestion of these
products seek out medical help immediately.
