nitrogen oxides, aldehydes, lead and aromatic
hydrocarbons. Engines should be run only under
conditions of adequate exhaust extraction or
general ventilation and not in confined spaces.
Gasoline (petrol) engine
There may not be adequate warning of odor or of
irritation before toxic or harmful effects arise. These
may be immediate or delayed.
Diesel engine
Soot, discomfort and irritation usually give
adequate warning of hazardous fume
concentrations.
Fibre Insulation
See alsoDusts.
Used in noise and sound insulation.
The fibrous nature of surfaces and cut edges can
cause skin irritation. This is usually a physical and
not a chemical effect.
Precautions should be taken to avoid excessive
skin contact through careful organization of work
practices and the use of gloves.
Fire
See also Welding,Foams,Legal Aspects.
Many of the materials found on or associated with
the repair of vehicles are highly flammable. Some
give off toxic or harmful fumes if burnt.

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.

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.

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.

Irritation of the mouth and throat may result from
swallowing. The main hazard from swallowing
arises if liquid aspiration into the lungs occurs.
Liquid contact dries the skin and can cause
irritation or dermatitis. Splashes in the eye may be
slightly irritating.
In normal circumstances the low volatility does not
give rise to harmful vapors. Exposure to mists and
vapors from kerosene at elevated temperature
should be avoided (mists may arise in dewaxing).
Avoid skin and eye contact and make sure there
is adequate ventilation.
Gas Cylinders
See also Fire. Gases such as oxygen, acetylene, argon and
propane are normally stored in cylinders at
pressures of up to 138 bar (2000 psi) and great
care should be taken in handling these cylinders
to avoid mechanical damage to them or to the valve
gear attached. The contents of each cylinder
should be clearly identified by appropriate
markings.
Cylinders should be stored in well-ventilated
enclosures, and protected from ice and snow, or
direct sunlight. Fuel gases, for example acetylene
and propane, should not be stored in close
proximity to oxygen cylinders.
Care should be exercised to prevent leaks from
gas cylinders and lines, and to avoid sources of
ignition.
Only trained personnel should undertake work
involving gas cylinders.
Gases
See
Gas Cylinders.
Gaskets (Fluoroelastomer)
