Health and Safety Precautions

Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural oils from
the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains
potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Washing facilities and
adequate means of skin protection should be provided.

Observe these recommendations:

•

Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.

•

Do not put oily rags in pockets. Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underwear,
with oil.

•

Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard oil impregnated clothing and footwear
which cannot be washed or cleaned.

•

First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts or wounds.

•

Use barrier creams, applying before each work period, to enable easier removal of
dirty oil and grease from the skin.

•

Wash with soap and water to make sure that all oil is removed (skin cleaner and a nail
brush will help). The use of preparations containing lanolin will help to replace the
natural skin oils which have been removed.

•

Do not use petrol, kerosene, gas oil, thinners or solvents for washing skin.

•

If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice immediately.

•

Where practical, degrease components prior to handling.

•

Where there is a risk of fluids coming into contact with the eyes, eye protection should
be worn, for example, goggles or a face shield. An eye wash facility should be
provided.

The Health and Safety Precautions subsection refers to some commonly used chemicals and
materials, hazards associated with their use, and safety measures to be taken. Some of these
chemicals may be included in the following list either in their own right or as an ingredient in
a sealer or adhesive.

Acids and Alkalis

See also Battery Acids.

e.g. 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.

Ensure 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 - General

Highly flammable, explosive – observe No Smoking policy.

Used as a safety restraint system mounted in the steering wheel.

The inflator contains a high - energetic propellant which, when ignited, produces a VERY
HOT GAS (2500º 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 should 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.

Following any direct contact with gas generant.

•

Wash affected areas thoroughly with water.

•

Seek medical assistance if necessary.

Air Bags - Do's

•

Do store in an airbag safe when not fitted to the vehicle.

•

Do store modules in an upright position.

•

Do keep modules dry.

•

Do carry modules with the cover side pointing away from the body.

•

Do place modules with their cover side upwards.

•

Do carefully inspect modules for damage.

•

Do stand to one side when connecting modules.

•

Do make sure all test equipment is properly calibrated and maintained.

•

Do wash you hands after handling deployed air bags.

Air Bags - Do Nots

•

Do not store highly flammable material together with modules or gas generators.

•

Do not store gas generators at temperatures exceeding 80º C.

•

Do not store modules upside down.

•

Do not attempt to open a gas generator housing.

•

Do not expose gas generators to open flame or sources of heat.

•

Do not place anything on top of a module cover.
