1.5 Fluid Safety

All oil, fuel, and some coolant liquids
are flammable. If these liquids are
leaking onto hot surfaces they can
cause a fire which can cause injury
and/or damage.

Do not check for leaks using any body
part. Use a cardboard section or other
appropriate tool to check for a leak.

Store all fuels and lubricants in closed,
clearly labelled containers in a safe
place.

When draining liquids from the engine,
ensure that the correct tools are used
and that liquids are collected in a suita-
ble container and disposed of following
all local regulations.

Oily rags and other flammable materials
must not be stored in close proximity to
engine, genset, or system.

Do not smoke near the fuel tank or
while in the filling area. Ensure there
are no open flames or sparks. Always
stop the engine before refuelling.

Mobile phones (in particular their bat-
teries) may give off sparks that could
cause an explosion in certain high-risk
areas. Switch off all mobile phones
when filling the fuel tank or while in the
filling area.
1.6 Batteries

Wear personal protective equipment
(PPE) as required.

Do not smoke in areas where batteries
are charged or near fuel circuits.

The batteries release flammable fumes
that can explode. Ensure there are no
open flames or sparks near the battery.

If the batteries are in a closed area,
make sure there is sufficient ventilation.
