STORING DANGEROUS FLUIDS
- Handle fuels carefully; they are highly inflammable. If
fuel is ignited, there may be an explosion and/or re.
- CAUTION -
All fuels, the majority of lubricants and some types of
antifreeze are inammable.
- All inammable uids must be stored in special contai-
ners and the contents clearly indicated. The containers
must be airtight.
- CAUTION -
All fluids must be stored out of reach of children and
unauthorised personnel.
- Different uids must not be mixed together.
- CAUTION -
All chemical products are generally toxic; avoid contact
with the skin and eyes by wearing suitable protective
clothing. Do not swallow.
- CAUTION -
Store inammable uids in an especially reserved, well-ven-
tilated storeroom, far from heat sources, sparks and ames.
Keep containers closed and indoors.
There must be no other substances inside the inflam-
mable uids storeroom (e.g. food).
- Always ll the tank in the open air.
- Beware of the fumes and vapours produced by chemical
products. Do not inhale.
- Do not inhale combustion fumes.
- Ensure these chemical products are not dispersed in the
soil, sewers or surface water. If necessary, inform the
competent local authorities.
- In case of re, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder,
foam, water mist, sand or earth. Use jets of water to cool
surfaces exposed to the re.
- Ensure the storage containers do not leak inammable
uids (fuel, oil, grease, lubricants in general).
CONTACT WITH DANGEROUS FLUIDS
- Avoid contact with the skin or eyes.
- Wear appropriate protective clothing.
- In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water for a few minutes holding the eyelids
open and then consult a doctor.
- In case of contact with the skin, wash the area carefully
with soap and water, remove any contaminated clothing,
and if the skin tends to be dry, apply a moisturising cream.
- In case of inhalation, leave the contaminated area and
reach a well-ventilated location. Consult a doctor in case
of respiratory problems.
- If swallowed, consult a doctor. Show the doctor the label
or the container. Do not provoke vomiting to avoid the
risk of inhaling the product through the respiratory tract.
