ENGINE OILS
| WARNING | 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 protection and washing facilities must be provided. |
RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS
The most effective precaution is to prevent, as far as practical, the risk of skin contact with mineral oils i.e. use enclosed systems for handling used engine oil and degrease 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 with oil.
- Do not put oily rags in pockets.
- Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and oil-soaked footwear. Overalls must be cleaned regularly and kept separate from personal clothing.
- Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection 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 (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). After cleaning, 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.
- If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice immediately.
