Mitsubishi Eclipse. Manual — part 125

Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from
the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains
potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate means of skin pro-
tection and washing facilities must be provided.

Recommended Precautions:
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practical, the risk
of skin contact with mineral oils i.e. use enclosed
systems for handling used engine oil and decrease
components, where practical, before handling them.

Other Precautions:

• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oil,

particularly used engine oil.

• Wear protective clothing, including impervious

gloves where practical.

• Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly under

wear, with oil.

• Do not put oily rags in pockets.

• Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and

oil-soaked foot-wear. Overalls must be cleaned
regularly and kept separate from personal cloth-
ing.

• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protec-

tion should be worn i.e. chemical goggles or face
shields. In addition, an eye wash facility should
be provided.

• Obtain First Aid treatment immediately for open

cuts and wounds.

• Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all

oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After clean-
ing, apply lotion, etc., containing lanolin to
replace natural skin oils is advised.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas

oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

• Apply barrier creams before each work period to

help clean the skin after work.

• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice

immediately.
