and
more likely to cause serious effects,

and
prolonged
skin contact.
Wash skin thoroughly after
work involving oil.
Protective
hand cleaners may be of
value
provided
they can be removed
from the skin with water.
Do not
use
gasoline,
paraffin,
or
other solvents
lo remove oil
from the skin.
Lubricants and
greases
may be slightly
irritating to the eyes.
Bepeated or
prolonged
skin contact should
be avoided
by
wearing
protective
clothing
if
necessary.
Particu-
lar
care
should be taken
with used oils and
greases
containing
lead. Do not allow
work clothing to be con-
taminated
with oil. Dry clean or
launder such clothing
at
regular intervals.
