LUBRICANTS - HEALTH AND SAFETY
It is most important that you read and understand this
information and the publications referred to. Make sure
that all of your colleagues who are concerned with
lubricants read it too.
Hygiene
JCB lubricants are not a health risk when used
properly for their intended purpose.
However, excessive or prolonged skin contact can
remove the natural fats from your skin, causing
dryness and irritation.
Low viscosity oils are more likely to do this, so take
special care when handling used oils which may be
diluted with fuel contamination.
Whenever you are handling oil products you should
maintain good standards of care and personal and
plant hygiene. For details of these precautions we
advise you to read the relevant publications issued by
your Local Health Authority, plus the following.
Storage
Always keep lubricants out of reach of children. Never
store lubricants in open or unlabelled containers.
Handling
New Oil
There are no special precautions needed for the
handling or use of new oil, beside the normal care and
hygiene practices.
Used Oil
Used oils contain harmful contaminants. Here are pre
cautions to protect your health when handling used oil.
1
Avoid prolonged, excessive or repeated skin
contact with used oil.
2
Apply a barrier cream to the skin before handling
used oil.
3
Note the following removing oil from the skin:
a
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and
water.
b
Using a nail brush will help.

hands.

e

First Aid-Oil
Swallowing
If oil is swallowed do not induce vomiting. Get medical
advice.
Eyes
In the case of eye contact, flush with water for 15
minutes. If irritation persists get medical attention.
Skin
In the case of excessive skin contact, wash with soap
and water.
Spillage
Absorb on sand or a locally approved brand of
absorbent granules. Scrape up and remove to a
chemical disposal area.
Fires
Extinguish with carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam.
Firefighters should use self -contained breathing
apparatus.
Waste Disposal
All waste products should be disposed of in
accordance with the relevant regulations.
The collection and disposal of used oil should be in
accordance with any local regulations. Never pour
used oil into sewers, drains or on the ground.
