Notes on safety in handling used engine oil ∗
Prolonged or repeated contact between the skin and any kind of engine oil decreases the
skin. Drying, irritation or inflammation of the skin may therefore occur. Used engine oil
also contains dangerous substances which have caused skin cancer in animal experi-
ments. If the basic rules of hygiene and health and safety at work are observed, health
risks are not to the expected as a result of handling used engine oil.
Health precautions:
D Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used engine oil.
D Protect your skin by means of suitable agents (creams etc.) or wear protective gloves.
D Clean skin which has been in contact with engine oil.
– Wash thoroughly with soap and water. A nailbrush is an effective aid.
– Certain products make it easier to clean your hands.
– Do not use petrol, Diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents as washing agents.
