Escaping uid under pressure can have
sufcient force to penetrate the skin causing
serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a
piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands
to search for suspected leaks. Keep unprotected
body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far
away as possible from a suspected leak. Flesh
injected with hydraulic uid may develop
gangrene or other permanent disabilities.
If injured by injected fluid, see a doctor at
once. If your doctor is not familiar with this
type of injury, ask him to research it
immediately to determine proper treatment.
