HEALTH & SAFETY
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING HEALTH AND SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
SHOULD BE CAREFULLY OBSERVED.
Carrying out certain operations and handling some substances can be dangerous or
harmful to the operator if the correct safety precautions are not observed. Some
such precautions are recommended at the appropriate points in this book.
While it is important that these recommended safety precautions are observed, care
near machinery is always necessary, and no list can be exhaustive. ALWAYS BE
ON YOUR GUARD!
General Guidelines:
The following recommendations are for general guidance:
1. Always wear correctly fitting protective clothing which should be laundered regularly.
Loose or baggy clothing can be extremely dangerous when working on running engines
or machinery. Clothing which becomes impregnated with oil or other substances can
constitute a health hazard due to prolonged contact with the skin even through
underclothing.
2. So far as practicable, work on or close to engines or machinery only when they are
stopped. If this is not practicable, remember to keep tools, test equipment and all parts
of the body well away from the moving parts of the engine or equipment—fans, drive
belts and pulleys are particularly dangerous. The electric cooling fan used on some
installations is actuated automatically when the coolant reaches a specified temperature.
For this reason, care should be taken to ensure that the ignition/isolating switch is OFF
when working in the vicinity of the fan as an increase in coolant temperature may cause
the fan suddenly to operate.
3. Avoid contact with exhaust pipes, exhaust manifolds and silencers when an engine is,
or has recently been running; these can be very hot and can cause severe burns.
4. Many liquids used in engines or vehicles are harmful if taken internally or splashed
into the eyes. In the event of accidentally swallowing gasoline (petrol), oil, diesel fuel,
antifreeze, battery acid etc., DO NOT ENCOURAGE VOMITING AND OBTAIN
QUALIFIED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
Wear protective goggles when handling liquids which are harmful to the eyes; these
include ammonia and battery acid. If any of these substances are splashed in the
eyes, wash out thoroughly with clean water and OBTAIN QUALIFIED MEDICAL
ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
