SAFETY REGULATIONS 4
AXH1157-UK (ENG) L3500 L4700 F7000 [FPT S3A] 29
4.4.3 - Traumas
Distortions, dislocations and fractures:
Immobilize the joints in the position after the trauma,
using bandages or splints, supporting the analgesic
position of the injured party without attempting
dangerous manoeuvres. Apply the cold (with bag of
ice or other systems). In case of exposed fracture,
cover the wound using a sterile gauze pad, after
having pressed at a distance on the specific points the
relative hemorrhage.
Contusions, crushing:
In case of contusions and/or crushing of ends of the
upper and lower limbs (fingers, hand, feet, etc.) it is
advised to immediately place the limb underneath
running water (cold) and apply ice. Also check for
wounds and/or cuts in the hit area and, if necessary,
disinfect with the due precautions.
4.4.4 - Hemorrhages
It is necessary to press the fingers on the hemorrhage
point with sterile gauze pad, lifting the limb and
eventually compress upstream of the hemorrhage
with tourniquet. Wear protective gloves in case of
contact with body fluids.
Treating superficial wounds:
Carefully expose and clean the wound, disinfect it
with physiological solution, medicate it covering it
with sterile gauze pads. Bandage avoiding excessive
tightening to allow good circulation.
Treating deep wounds:
It is a priority to protect yourself against the risk of
infection using gloves and splash shield; pad the
hemorrhage by direct pressure or using other
pressure points until it stops or the arrival of the
ambulance. Call the medical emergency number,
informing them that you are padding an arterial
hemorrhage.
Treat the wound only after the hemorrhage is under
control.
ATTENTION
Do not use cotton wool, methylated spirit,
antibiotic powder to disinfect the wound.
4.5 - Preventing fires and
accidents
4.5.1 - Risks of fires
DANGER
Danger of fire
It is forbidden to smoke or use naked flames
during use and maintenance operation of the
vehicle and equipment.
Do not operate the vehicle or equipment without
the following safety conditions:
DANGER
Fuel, oil and lubricant leaks can trigger fires and
cause serious injuries.
• Ensure that there are no flammable liquids
leaking.
• To avoid oil or diesel leaks, make sure that there
are no loose or missing clamps, no twisted tubes
and no tubes that rub up against each other.
• Do not bend any tubes/pipes under pressure.
• Never install damaged tubes.
• Do not weld tubes or pipes containing
inflammable liquids.
• Do not use a torch head to cut tubes or pipes
containing inflammable liquids.
DANGER
Short circuits may cause fires.
• Ensure that there are no short circuits.
• Clean and interrupt all electrical connections.
• Check before each work shift that there are no
loose, twisted, hardened or damaged wires.
DANGER
Fuel, oil, grease, waste, deposits or accumulated
dust or other components can cause a fire.
• Remove inflammable materials.
• Prevent fires by inspecting and cleaning the
vehicle at every shift, by immediately removing
inflammable components.
• Check the ignition switch: in the event of fire,
failure to switch off the engine will obstruct the
work of the Fire Brigade.
