Safe use of Diesel.
These fuels give off a flammable vapour when heated
moderately. Vapour ignites easily, burns intensely and
may cause explosion. The vapour can follow along at
ground level for considerable distances from open
containers and spillages collecting as an explosive
mixture in drains, cellars, etc.
Fuels remove natural oils and fats from the skin and
this may cause irritation and cracking of skin. Barrier
cream containing lanolin is highly recommended
together with good personal hygiene and where
necessary appropriate personal protection
equipment (P.P.E.).
Gas oil may also cause irreversible damage to health
on prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Always store fuels in a properly constructed and
labelled tank. Always handle fuel in open air or well
ventilated space away from sources of ignition and
refrain from smoking.
Always drain fuel using a proper fuel retriever, funnel
or mechanical siphon. Never apply heat to a fuel tank,
container or pipework. Never siphon fuel through
tube by mouth. If accidentally swallowed contact
doctor immediately and do
NOT induce vomiting.
Avoid inhaling fuel vapour as this can cause light
headedness and seriously impair judgement.
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 (UK),
section 6 of the Health and Safety Act 1974 (UK) and

Ceramic Fibre, Alumino - Silicone Fibre material are
used for boards, ropes and gaskets. Known hazards
are that people may suffer reddening and itching of
the skin. Fibre entering the eye will cause foreign
body irritation. It may also cause irritation to the
respiratory tract.
Precautions should be taken by people with a history
of skin complaints or who may be particularly
susceptible to irritation. High dust levels are only
likely to arise following harsh abrasion. Suitable
personal protective equipment should be worn where
appropriate.
Generally, normal handling and use will not give
discomfort. Follow good hygiene practices, wash
hands before consuming food, drink or using the
toilet.
First Aid - Medical attention should be sought
following eye contact or prolonged reddening of the
skin.
The small quantities of adhesives and sealants used in
the product are cured. They present no known
hazards when used in the manner for which they are
intended.
