Exhaust Ventilation
Engine exhaust gases can cause unconsciousness, loss of
alertness, judgment and motor control. This can result in death
or serious injury.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation before starting engine in
any enclosed area.
Check for and be aware of any open windows, doors or
ductwork where exhaust may be carried, or blown by wind,
exposing others to hazardous exhaust gases.
Ventilation for Enclosed Area
If it is necessary to start engine within an enclosed area, or when
handling fuel, flushing oil, or paint; open doors and windows to
ensure that adequate ventilation is provided to prevent gas
poisoning.
Diesel engine exhaust contains products of combustion which
can be harmful to your health.
Always run engine in a well ventilated area. If you are in an
enclosed area, vent exhaust to outside.
Asbestos Information
Asbestos dust can be HAZARDOUS to your health if it is
inhaled. Materials containing asbestos fiber can be present on
work sites. Breathing air that contains asbestos fiber can
ultimately cause serious or fatal lung damage or diseases such
as mesothelioma, lung and other cancers, and asbestosis. To
prevent lung damage from asbestos fiber, observe the following
precautions:
• Use an approved respirator that is approved for use in an
asbestos-laden atmosphere.
• Use water for cleaning to keep down dust.
• Always observe any regulations related to work site and
working environment.
• Avoid brushing or grinding materials that contain asbestos.
• A vacuum cleaner that is equipped with a high efficiency
particulate air filter can also be used.
• Comply with applicable laws and regulations for workplace.
