DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ( CONTINUED )
E850 EN 02/2001 2002 Bantam
Foams - Polyurethane
See also Fire.
Used in sound and noise insulation. Cured foams
used in seat and trim cushioning.
Follow manufacturers instructions.
Unreacted components are irritating and may be
harmful to the skin and eyes. Wear gloves and
goggles.
Individuals with chronic respiratory diseases, asthma,
bronchial medical problems, or histories of allergic
diseases should not work in or near uncured
materials.
The components, vapours or spray mists can cause
direct irritation, sensitivity reactions and may be toxic
or harmful.
Vapours and spray mists must not be inhaled. These
materials must be applied with adequate ventilation
and respiratory protection. Do not remove the
respirator immediately after spraying; wait until the
vapour/mists have cleared.
Burning of the uncured components and the cured
foams can generate toxic and harmful fumes.
Smoking, naked flames or the use of electrical
equipment during foaming operations and until
vapours/mists have cleared should not be allowed.
Any heat cutting of cured foams or partially cured
foams should be conducted with extraction ventilation.
See also the vehicle Body Repair Manual.
Freon
See Air Conditioning Refrigerant.
Fuels
See also, Fire, Legal Aspects, Chemicals and
Solvents.
Avoid skin contact with fuel where possible. Should
contact occur, wash the affected skin with soap and
water.
Gasoline (Petrol)
Highly flammable - observe No Smoking policy.
Swallowing can result in mouth and throat irritation
and absorption from the stomach can result in
drowsiness and unconsciousness. Small amounts can
be fatal to children. Aspiration of liquid into the lungs,
through vomiting, is a very serious hazard.
Gasolene dries the skin and can cause irritation and
dermatitis on prolonged or repeated contact. Liquid in
the eye causes severe smarting.
Motor gasolene may contain appreciable quantities of
benzene, which is toxic upon inhalation, and the
concentration of gasolene vapours must be kept very
low. High concentrations will cause eye, nose and
throat irritation, nausea, headache, depression and
symptoms of drunkenness. Very high concentrations
will result in rapid loss of consciousness.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation when handling
and using gasolene. Great care must be taken to
avoid the serious consequences of inhalation in the
event of vapour build up arising from spillages in
confined spaces.
Special precautions apply to cleaning and
maintenance operations on gasolene storage tanks.
Gasolene should not be used as a cleaning agent. It
must not be siphoned by mouth.
See First Aid.
Gas-oil (Diesel Fuel)
Combustible.
Gross or prolonged skin contact with high boiling point
gas oils may also cause serious skin disorders
including skin cancer.
Kerosene (Paraffin)
Used also as heating fuel, solvent and cleaning agent.
Flammable - observe No Smoking policy.
Irritation of the mouth and throat may result from
swallowing. The main hazard from swallowing arises if
liquid aspiration into the lungs occurs.
Liquid contact dries the skin and can cause irritation or
dermatitis. Splashes in the eye may be slightly
irritating.
In normal circumstances the low volatility does not
give rise to harmful vapours. Exposure to mists and
vapours from kerosene at elevated temperature
should be avoided (mists may arise in dewaxing).
Avoid skin and eye contact and make sure there is
adequate ventilation.
Alternative Fuel
Highly flammable. Observe ``NO SMOKING" signs.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation when working
on alternative fuelled vehicles. Great care must be
taken to avoid the serious consequences of inhalation
in the event of vapour build up in confined spaces.
