3.1.28 PARKING THE VEHICLE
When you need to work in a tunnel or closed places (factory buildings, car parks etc.) it is advisable to check
before starting that there is suffi cient air exchange and good ventilation to prevent build-up of toxic exhaust gas
or dust. In any event, it is always advisable to convey the engine exhaust gas to the outside using a fl exible
hose. Open doors and windows to facilitate ventilation and wear an appropriate protective mask.
