For example acetone, white spirit, toluene,
xylene, trichloroethane. Used in cleaning and
dewaxing materials, p

plastics, re
sins and
thinn

mable. Skin co

quantities.
Splashes in the eye may cause severe irritation
and could lead to loss of vision. Brief exposure of
high concentrations of vapors or mists will cause
eye and
thro
at
irrit
a
tion, drowsiness, dizzine
s
s,
headaches and, in
t
he worst circu
m
st
ances,
unco
n
sciousness.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to excessive but
lower concentrations of vapors or mists, for which
there might n
o
t be ad
equat
e wa
rning
indications,
can cause mo
re se
rious toxic
or harmful e

necessary.
Make sure
there is good
ventilation when in use
,
avoid breathing fumes, vapors and spray mists
and keep containers tightly sealed. Do not use in
confined sp
aces.
When spraying materials containing solvents, for
example paints, adhesive, coatings, use extrac-
tion ve
ntila
tion
or personal
respirat
ory protection
in the
absence
of ade
quate

Do

u
nder specific
and detailed manufacturers instructions.
Suspended Loads
W
ARNING: Never imp

ise lif
ting t

le.
There is always a danger when loads are lifted or
suspende
d. Never work
unde
r an u
n
sup
ported
,
suspende
d or raised loa
d
, for exa
m
ple a sus-
pended
engine.
Always make sure that lifting equipment such as
jacks,
hoist
s,
axle st
a
nds and
slings a
r
e ad
equate
and suit
a
b
le for the jo
b, in good
condition and
regularly maintained.

Welding

i
n-
ders.
The welding procedures include (resistance weld-
ing)
spot
we
ldin
g, arc welding and
gas we
lding.
1. Resistance Welding
This process may cause particles of molten
metal to be emitted at a high velocity, and the
eyes a
nd skin must be pro
t
ecte
d.
2.
Arc W
e
ld
ing
This process emits a high level of ultra-violet
radiation, which may cause arc-eye, and skin
burn
s
to the opera
t
or and to other per
sons
nearby. Gas-shielded welding processes are
particularly hazardous in this respect. Per-
sonal protection must be worn, and screens
used to shie
ld ot
her peo
ple.

TO REVERT TO ORDINARY SPECTACLES
WHEN
ARC WELDING
.
As the arc spe
c
trum
is believed to emit microwaves which dry out
the fluid between the lens and the eye. This
may result in blindness when the lens is
removed
from th
e eye.
Met
a
l sp
a
tter will also
occur
,
an
d approp
riate eye and
skin protec-
tion is necessary.
The heat of the welding arc will produce
fumes and gases from the metals being
welded, the rods and from any applied coat-
ing
s
or co
nt
a

the sur

cases or confined spaces where adequate
ventilation cannot be provided, air-fed respi-
rators may be necessary.
