Health and Safety Precautions
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 alsoBattery 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.
Individuals suffering from asthma or respiratory
allergies should not work with or near these
materials as sensitivity reactions can occur.
Over exposure is irritating to the eyes and
respiratory system. Excessive concentrations may
produce effects on the nervous system including
drowsiness. In extreme cases, loss of
consciousness may result. Long term exposure to
vapor concentrations may result in adverse health
effects.
Prolonged contact with the skin may have a
defatting effect which may lead to skin irritation
and in some cases, dermatitis.
Splashes entering the eye will cause discomfort
and possible damage.
Any spraying should preferably be carried out in
exhaust ventilated booths, removing vapors and
spray droplets from the breathing zone.
Wear appropriate gloves, eye and respiratory
protection.
Antifreeze

dermatitis or be absorbed through the skin in
toxic or harmful quantities.
– Do not use emptied containers for other materials except when they have been cleaned
under supervised conditions.
– Do not sniff or smell chemical materials. Brief exposure to high concentrations of fumes can
be toxic or harmful.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC)
There is concern in the scientific community that
CFCs and Halons are depleting the upper ozone
layer which filters out harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Decreased filtration of ultraviolet radiation may
result in increases in skin cancer, cataracts and
immune system suppression in humans, as well
as decreased productivity of crops and aquatic
systems.
CFCs are used primarily as refrigerants in vehicle
air conditioning systems and as aerosol
propellants. Halons are used as fire extinguishants.
Clutch Fluids
See Brake fluids.
Clutch Linings and Pads
SeeAsbestos.
Corrosion Protection Materials
See also Solvents, Fire.
Highly flammable, flammable – observe No
Smoking policy.
These materials are varied and the manufacturers
instructions must be followed. They may contain
solvents, resins or petroleum products. Skin and
eye contact should be avoided. They should only
be sprayed in conditions of adequate ventilation
and not in confined spaces.
Cutting
See Welding.
Dewaxing
SeeSolvents andFuels (Kerosene).
Dusts
Powder, dusts or clouds may be irritant, harmful
or toxic. Avoid breathing dusts from powdery
chemical materials or those arising from dry
abrasion operations. Wear respiratory protection
if ventilation is inadequate.
Fine dusts of combustible material can present an
explosion hazard. Avoid explosive limits and
sources of ignition.
Electric Shock
Electric shock can result from the use of faulty
electrical equipment or from the misuse of
equipment in good condition.
Make sure that electrical equipment is maintained
in good condition and frequently tested. Faulty
equipment should be labeled and preferably
removed from the workstation.
Make sure that flexes, cables, plugs and sockets
are not frayed, kinked, cut, cracked or otherwise
damaged.
Make sure that electrical equipment and flexes do
not come into contact with water.
Make sure that electrical equipment is protected
by the correct rated fuse.
Never misuse electrical equipment and never use
equipment that is in any way faulty. The results
could be fatal.
Make sure that the cables of mobile electrical
equipment cannot get trapped and damaged, such
as in a vehicle hoist.
Make sure that the designated electrical workers
are trained in basic First Aid.
In cases of electrocution:
– switch off the power supply before approaching
the victim.
– if this is not possible push or drag the victim from the source of electricity using dry
non-conductive material.
– commence resuscitation if trained to do so.
– SUMMON MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.

Make sure there is adequate ventilation to control
dusts, mists and fumes.
High Pressure Air, Lubrication and Oil
Test Equipment
See alsoLubricants and Greases.
Always keep high-pressure equipment in good
condition, and regularly maintained, particularly at
joints and unions.
Never direct a high-pressure nozzle, for example
diesel injector, at the skin as the fluid may
penetrate to the underlying tissue, and cause
serious injury.
Halon
See CFCs.
Legal Aspects
There are many laws and regulations relating to
health and safety in the use and disposal of
materials and equipment in a workshop.
For a safe working environment and to avoid
environmental pollution, workshops should be
familiar, in detail, with the many health and safety
laws and regulations within their country, published
by both national and local authorities.
Lubricants and Greases
Avoid all prolonged and repeated contact with
mineral oils. All lubricants and greases may be
irritating to the eyes and skin.
Transmission Fluids
Safety instructions
Certain Transmission and Power Steering fluids
supplied to Ford may contain additives which have
the potential to cause skin disease (dermatitis) to
exposed persons. The dermatitis may be irritant
or allergic in nature. Risks are higher where
prolonged or repeated skin contact with a fluid may
occur. These fluids are used for vehicle initial fill
and service purposes. This sub-section is to: • Inform Service personnel who may come into
contact with these vehicle fluids (hazard
communication).
• Summarise appropriate workplace control measures and personal protective equipment
requirements.
• Draw attention to the existence of Material Safety Datasheets (MSDS's) for the fluids
(available from Ford Customer Service Division).
These MSDS's contain detailed information on
hazards and appropriate controls.
Control measures
Workplace risk assessments made under national
chemical control regulations should identify
operations involving the fluids as potentially
hazardous and specify workplace control and
worker awareness measures. In such
circumstances, the relevant Material Safety
Datasheet (see the details specified below) which
specifies hazards and control measures in detail
should be made available for guidance.
Avoid unprotected skin contact with the fluids, and
in particular, avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact. Work practices should be organised so as
to minimise the potential for skin contact. This may
include the use of drip trays, absorbents, correct
fluid handling equipment (funnels etc), and
workplace housekeeping measures such as the
cleaning of contaminated surfaces.
Personnel engaged in operations where skin
contact could occur (such as fluid draining or filling)
should wear impervious gloves made from nitrile
rubber, certified to a chemical protection standard,
e.g. Europe Standard EN374. This glove type is
widely available from reputable suppliers of gloves
for chemical protection [including the manufacturers
Ansell-Admont (Solvex Range), North Safety
products (North Nitrile Latex Gloves range), and
Marigold Industrial (Blue Nitrile range)]. If gloves
become torn or contaminated on the inside they
should be replaced. Eye protection with safety
glasses is appropriate. Use of an impervious apron
and arm protectors may be necessary if more
extensive exposure is possible. Use of skin barrier
creams suitable for work with mineral oil products
may offer some supplementary protection, but such
barrier creams should not be used in place of
protective clothing.
If accidental skin contact occurs with the fluids,
wash the area thoroughly with soap or skin
cleanser and water.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL

Accidental eye contact should be dealt with as per
normal first aid practices, by flushing the eyes with
an eye wash or clean cool water for 10 minutes,
after which medical attention should be obtained.
Remove and launder clothing which becomes
contaminated with the fluids. Do not place rags
contaminated with fluid in clothing pockets.
Wash thoroughly after completing operations where
skin exposure may have occurred.
It is important that personnel do not smoke, eat or
drink whilst handling the fluids or affected
transmissions. These measures are designed to
limit the risk from accidental ingestion.
Label any decanted fluid properly/use an equivalent
label to that on original product containers.
Clean up any spills promptly using an inert
absorbent and wash down contaminated surfaces
with detergent and water.
Dispose of any waste fluids safely as hazardous
waste.
Safety Data Sheets
Safety Data Sheets, which detail specific material
handling instructions and precautions are available
from the respective national sales company, and
via internet www.msds.ford.com.
Used Engine Oil
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.
Do not employ used engine oils as lubricants or
for any application where appreciable skin contact
is likely to occur.
Environmental Precautions
Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or
boilers can be recommended only for units of
approved design. If in doubt check with the
appropriate local authority and manufacturer of
approved appliances.
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through
authorized waste disposal contractors or licensedwaste disposal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation
trade. If in doubt, contact the relevant local
authority for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down
sewers or drains, or into watercourses.
Noise
Some operations may produce high noise levels,
which could, in time, damage hearing. In these
cases, suitable ear protection must be worn.
Noise Insulation Materials
See
Foams, Fibre Insulation.
O-Rings (Fluoroelastomer)
SeeViton.
Paints
See also Solvents, Chemical Materials.
Highly flammable, flammable - observe No
Smoking policy
One Pack
Can contain harmful or toxic pigments, driers and
other components as well as solvents. Spraying
should be carried out only with adequate
ventilation.
Two Pack
Can also contain harmful and toxic unreacted
resins and resin hardening agents. The
manufacturers instructions should be followed. See
also Resin-based Adhesives and Isocyanate
Adhesives and Sealers under Adhesives and
Sealers.
Spraying should preferably be carried out in
exhausted ventilated booths removing vapor and
spray mists from the breathing zone. Individuals
working in booths should wear appropriate
respiratory protection. Those doing small-scale
repair work in the open workshop should wear
air-fed respirators.
