Land Rover Defender: Chemical Materials
All chemical materials should always be used with caution and stored and
handled with care. They may be toxic,
harmful, corrosive, irritant or highly flammable and give rise to hazardous
fumes and dusts.
The effects of excessive exposure to chemicals may be immediate or delayed;
briefly experienced or permanent;
cumulative; superficial; life threatening; or may reduce life expectancy.
CHEMICAL MATERIALS - DO'S
- Do carefully read and observe hazard and precaution warnings given on
material containers (labels) and in any
accompanying leaflets, posters or other instructions. Material health and
safety data sheets can be obtained from
manufacturers.
- Do remove chemical materials from the skin and clothing as soon as
practicable after soiling. Change heavily
soiled clothing and have it cleaned.
- Do organise work practices and protective clothing to avoid soiling of
the skin and eyes.
- Do avoid breathing vapors, aerosols, dusts or fumes; inadequate
container labelling; fire and explosion hazards.
- Do wash before job breaks, before eating, smoking, drinking or using
toilet facilities when handling chemical
materials.
- Do keep work areas clean, uncluttered and free of spills.
- Do store chemical materials according to national and local regulations.
- Do keep chemical materials out of the reach of children.
CHEMICAL MATERIALS - DO NOT
- Do Not mix chemical materials except under the manufacturers
instructions; some chemicals can form other toxic
or harmful chemicals, give off toxic or harmful fumes or become explosive
when mixed together.
- Do Not spray chemical materials, particularly those based on solvents,
in confined spaces, for example when
people are inside a vehicle.
- Do Not apply heat or flame to chemical materials except under the
manufacturers instructions. Some are highly
flammable and some may release toxic or harmful fumes.
- Do Not leave containers open. Fumes given off can build up to toxic,
harmful or explosive concentrations. Some
fumes are heavier than air and will accumulate in confined areas such as
pits.
- Do Not transfer chemical materials to unlabelled containers.
- Do Not clean hands or clothing with chemicals. Chemicals, particularly
solvents and fuels, will dry skin and may
cause irritation leading to dermatitis or be absorbed through the skin in
toxic or harmful quantities.
- Do Not use emptied containers for other materials except when they have
been cleaned under supervised
conditions.
- Do Not sniff or smell chemical materials, even brief exposure to high
concentrations of fumes can be toxic or
harmful.
CORROSION PROTECTION MATERIALS
Some corrosion protection materials are highly flammable - observe NO SMOKING
POLICY.
These materials are varied and the manufacturers instructions must always be
followed. The materials may contain
solvents, resins or petroleum products. Skin and eye contact should be avoided.
They should only be sprayed in
conditions of adequate ventilation and not in confined spaces.
DUST
Dust or powder produced during repair operations may be irritant, harmful or
toxic. Avoid breathing dusts from
powdery chemical materials or those arising from dry abrasion operations. Wear
respiratory protection if ventilation is
inadequate.
Fine dusts of combustible material can present an explosion hazard. Avoid
explosive limits and sources of ignition.
