Risks
There are risks, for instance, when working with:
• Fuel system
• Hydraulic system
• Brake system
• Compressed air
Dangerous - in what way?
• Spray can penetrate the skin and cause serious
tissue injury
• Eyes may sustain serious injury
• Many substances may cause poisoning
• Air and other gases blown into the rectum may
cause serious, sometimes fatal injuries
• Leak testing or test pressurizing with
compressed air or other gas may cause
explosion
Protective measure
Do not work with pressure in the system unnecessarily. First
stop the pump and release remaining pressure carefully.
Use goggles. Gloves are preferred.
Never use compressed air or other gas to blow dirt from the
clothes.
Use liquid for testing leaks (of e.g. oil cooler).
Protection against gas and liquid under pressure
• Use goggles and gloves.
• Do not work with pressure in the system if not
absolutely necessary.
• Be careful when handling compressed air.
Pipes etc. may become damaged when working and liquid
or gas may burst out. Liquid or gas may also burst out when
loosening a connection.
High pressure may remain in the system even if a pump has
stopped.
Gas containers for e.g. welding gases may explode if
exposed to rough handling e.g. when dropped on a hard
surface.
Valves may be damaged and gas leak out if a gas tube is
dropped.
