D-1 LUBRICANTS - HEALTH AND
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Health
A prolonged skin contact with oil can cause irritation. Use
rubber gloves and protective goggles. After handling oil,
carefully wash your hands with soap and water.
Storage
Always keep lubricants in a closed place, out of the
children’s reach. Never store lubricants on the open air
and without a label indicating their contents.
Disposal
New or exhausted oil is always polluting! Never drain oil
on the ground. Store new oil in a suitable warehouse.
Pour exhausted oil into cans and deliver them to
specialised firms for disposal.
Oil leaks
In case of accidental oil leaks, cover with sand or type-
approved granulate. Then scrape off and dispose of it
as chemical waste.
First aid
Eyes
:
In case of accidental contact with the
eyes, wash with fresh water. If the
irritation persists, seek medical advice.
Intake
:
In case of oil intake, do not induce
vomiting, but seek medical advice.
Skin
:
In case of a prolonged contact, wash
with soap and water.
Fire
In case of fire, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam
extinguishers. Do not use water.
