Description and Operation

Introduction

Many of the procedures associated with vehicle maintenance and repair involve physical
hazards or other risks to health. This subsection lists, alphabetically, some of these
hazardous operations and the materials and equipment associated with them. Precautions
necessary to avoid these hazards are identified.

The list is not exhaustive and all operations and procedures, and the handling of materials,
should be carried out with health and safety in mind.

Before using any product the Materials Safety Data Sheet supplied by the manufacturer or
supplier should be consulted.

Acids and Alkalis

See also Battery Acids.

For example caustic soda, sulphuric acid.

Used in batteries and cleaning materials.

Irritant and corrosive to the skin, eyes, nose and throat. Cause burns. Can destroy ordinary
protective clothing.

Avoid splashes to the skin, eyes and clothing. Wear suitable protective impervious apron,
gloves and goggles. Do not breath mists.

Make sure access to eye wash bottles, shower and soap are readily available for splashing
accidents.

Display Eye Hazard sign.

Air Bags

See also Fire, Chemical Materials.

Highly flammable, explosive – observe No Smoking policy.

Used as a safety restraint system mounted in the steering wheel and passenger side of the
instrument panel.

The inflator contains a high-energetic propellant which, when ignited, produces a VERY HOT
GAS (2500°C).

The gas generant used in air bags is Sodium Azide. This material is hermetically sealed in
the module and is completely consumed during deployment. No attempt should be made to
open an air bag inflator as this will lead to the risk of exposure to Sodium Azide. If a gas
generator is ruptured, full protective clothing should be worn when dealing with the
spillage.

After normal deployment, gloves and safety goggles must be worn during the handling
process.

Deployed air bags should be disposed of in a plastic bag in accordance with local
regulations at an approved chemical waste site.

For additional information, refer to:

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Health and

Safety Precautions

(100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

Air Conditioning Refrigerant

See also Chlorofluorocarbon, Chemical Materials

Highly flammable, combustible – observe No Smoking policy.

Skin contact may result in frostbite.

Instructions given by the manufacturer must be followed. Avoid naked lights, wear suitable
protective gloves and goggles.

If refrigerant comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately rinse the affected areas
with water. Eyes should also be rinsed with an appropriate irrigation solution and should
not be rubbed. SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IF NECESSARY.

For additional information, refer to:

Air Conditioning (A/C) System Health and Safety

Precautions

(100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

Adhesives and Sealers

See also Fire, Chemical Materials.

Highly flammable, flammable, combustible – observe No Smoking policy.

Generally should be stored in No Smoking areas. Cleanliness and tidiness in use should be
observed, for example disposable paper covering benches; should be dispensed from
applicators where possible; containers, including secondary containers, should be labeled
appropriately.

Solvent-based Adhesives/Sealers - See Solvents

Follow manufacturers instructions.

Water-based Adhesives/Sealers

Those based on polymer emulsions and rubber latexes may contain small amounts of
volatile toxic and harmful chemicals. Skin and eye contact should be avoided and adequate
ventilation provided during use.

Hot Melt Adhesives

In the solid state, they are safe. In the molten state they may cause burns and health
hazards may arise from the inhalation of toxic fumes.

Use appropriate protective clothing and a thermostatically controlled heater with a thermal
cut-out and adequate extraction.

Resin-based Adhesives/Sealers, for example Epoxide and Formaldehyde Resin-based

Mixing should be carried out in well ventilated areas, as harmful or toxic volatile chemicals
may be released.

Skin contact with uncured resins and hardeners can result in irritation, dermatitis, and
absorption of toxic or harmful chemicals through the skin. Splashes can damage the eyes.

Provide adequate ventilation and avoid skin and eye contact.

Anaerobic, Cyanoacrylate (super-glues) and other Acrylic Adhesives

Many are irritant, sensitizing or harmful to the skin and respiratory tract. Some are eye
irritants.

Skin and eye contact should be avoided and the manufacturers instructions followed.

Cyanoacrylate adhesives (super-glues) MUST NOT contact the skin or eyes. If skin or eye
tissue is bonded, cover with a clean moist pad and SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Do not attempt to pull tissue apart. Use in well ventilated areas as vapors can cause
irritation to the nose and eyes.

For two-pack systems see Resin-based and Isocyanate Adhesives/Sealers.

Isocyanate (Polyurethane) Adhesives/Sealers

See also Resin-based Adhesives.
