ventilation. See also the vehicle Body Repair
Manual.
Freon
SeeAir Conditioning Refrigerant.
Fuels
See also, Fire, Legal Aspects, Chemicalsand
Solvents.
Avoid skin contact with fuel where possible. Should
contact occur, wash the affected skin with soap
and water.
Gasoline (Petrol)
Highly flammable - observe No Smoking policy.
For additional information, refer to: Petrol and
Petrol-Ethanol Fuel Systems Health and Safety
Precautions (100-00 General Information,
Description and Operation).
Gas-oil (Diesel Fuel)
Kerosene (Paraffin)
Used also as heating fuel, solvent and cleaning
agent.
Flammable - observe No Smoking policy.
Irritation of the mouth and throat may result from
swallowing. The main hazard from swallowing
arises if liquid aspiration into the lungs occurs.
Liquid contact dries the skin and can cause
irritation or dermatitis. Splashes in the eye may be
slightly irritating.
In normal circumstances the low volatility does not
give rise to harmful vapors. Exposure to mists and
vapors from kerosene at elevated temperature
should be avoided (mists may arise in dewaxing).
Avoid skin and eye contact and make sure there
is adequate ventilation.
Gas Cylinders
See also Fire. Gases such as oxygen, acetylene, argon and
propane are normally stored in cylinders at
pressures of up to 138 bar (2000 psi) and great
care should be taken in handling these cylinders
to avoid mechanical damage to them or to the valve
gear attached. The contents of each cylinder
should be clearly identified by appropriate
markings.
Cylinders should be stored in well-ventilated
enclosures, and protected from ice and snow, or
direct sunlight. Fuel gases, for example acetylene
and propane, should not be stored in close
proximity to oxygen cylinders.
Care should be exercised to prevent leaks from
gas cylinders and lines, and to avoid sources of
ignition.
Only trained personnel should undertake work
involving gas cylinders.
Gases

General Workshop Tools and
Equipment
It is essential that all tools and equipment are
maintained in good condition and that the correct
safety equipment is used where required.
Never use tools or equipment for any purpose other
than that for which they were designed. Never
overload equipment such as hoists, jacks, axle and
chassis stands or lifting slings. Damage caused by
overloading is not always immediately apparent
and may result in a fatal failure the next time that
the equipment is used.
Do not use damaged or defective tools or
equipment, particularly high-speed equipment such
as grinding wheels. A damaged grinding wheel can
disintegrate without warning and cause serious
injury.
Wear suitable eye protection when using grinding,
chiseling or sand blasting equipment.
Wear a suitable breathing mask when using
abrasive blasting equipment, working with
asbestos-based materials or using spraying
equipment.

Pressurized Equipment
See HighPressure Air, Lubrication and Oil Test
Equipment.
Solder
Solders are mixtures of metals such that the
melting point of the mixture is below that of the
constituent metals (normally lead and tin). Solder
application does not normally give rise to toxic lead
fumes, provided a gas/air flame is used.
Oxy-acetylene flames should not be used, as they
are much hotter and will cause lead fumes to be
produced.
Some fumes may be produced by the application
of any flame to surfaces coated with grease, and
inhalation of these should be avoided.
Removal of excess solder should be undertaken
with care, to make sure that fine lead dust is not
produced, which can give toxic effects if inhaled.
Respiratory protection may be necessary.
Solder spillage and filings should be collected and
removed promptly to prevent general air
contamination by lead.
High standards of personal hygiene are necessary
in order to avoid ingestion of lead or inhalation of
solder dust from clothing.
Solvents
See also Chemical Materials, Fuels (Kerosene),
Fire.
For example acetone, white spirit, toluene, xylene,
trichloroethane.
Used in cleaning and dewaxing materials, paints,
plastics, resins and thinners.
Some may be highly flammable or flammable.
Skin contact will degrease the skin and may result
in irritation and dermatitis following repeated or
prolonged contact. Some can be absorbed through
the skin in toxic or harmful quantities.
Splashes in the eye may cause severe irritation
and could lead to loss of vision.
Brief exposure of high concentrations of vapors or
mists will cause eye and throat irritation,
drowsiness, dizziness, headaches and, in the worst
circumstances, unconsciousness.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to excessive but
lower concentrations of vapors or mists, for which there might not be adequate warning indications,
can cause more serious toxic or harmful effects.
Aspiration into the lungs, for example through
vomiting, is the most serious consequence of
swallowing.
Avoid splashes to the skin, eyes and clothing. Wear
protective gloves, goggles and clothing if
necessary.
Make sure there is good ventilation when in use,
avoid breathing fumes, vapors and spray mists and
keep containers tightly sealed. Do not use in
confined spaces.
When spraying materials containing solvents, for
example paints, adhesive, coatings, use extraction
ventilation or personal respiratory protection in the
absence of adequate general ventilation.
Do not apply heat or flame except under specific
and detailed manufacturers instructions.
Sound Insulation
See
Fibre Insulation, Foams.
Suspended Loads
CAUTION: Never improvise lifting tackle.
There is always a danger when loads are lifted or
suspended. Never work under an unsupported,
suspended or raised load, for example a
suspended engine.
Always make sure that lifting equipment such as
jacks, hoists, axle stands and slings are adequate
and suitable for the job, in good condition and
regularly maintained.
Transmission Brake Bands
See Asbestos.
Underseal
SeeCorrosion Protection.
Viton
In common with many other manufacturers
vehicles, some components have O-rings, seals
or gaskets, which contain a material known as
`Viton'.

Window Glass Health and Safety Precautions
WARNINGS:
Cured polyurethane (PU) adhesive can
degrade if subjected to high temperatures.
Isocyanide compounds can be released
when grinding or welding in close
proximity to cured PU adhesive.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged exposure to
polyurethane (PU) adhesive may cause
skin irritation. If PU adhesive comes into
contact with the skin, remove any
contaminated clothing. Immediately wash
the skin with soap and water. Seek medical
attention for any persistent skin irritation
or abnormality.
EYE CONTACT: Polyurethane (PU)
adhesive may cause severe irritation or
damage. If PU adhesive comes into contact
with the eyes, immediately flush eyes with
plenty of running water for at least 15
minutes. Seek immediate medical attention.
SWALLOWED: If polyurethane (PU)
adhesive is swallowed, flush the mouth
thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting.
Provide rest, warmth and fresh air. Seek
immediate medical attention.
INHALED: Persons having a respiratory
allergy may have an allergic reaction when
handling polyurethane (PU) adhesive.
INHALED: Polyurethane (PU) adhesive can
cause asthma like symptoms. Isocyanate
vapor from primer or PU adhesive can
cause allergies in the respiratory tract.
INHALED: If polyurethane (PU) adhesive
fumes are inhaled, move victim to fresh
air. Provide oxygen if necessary. If
breathing stops, provide artificial
respiration. Keep a victim warm and at rest.
Seek immediate medical attention.
CAUTIONS:
Make sure that the direct glazing for
bonded glass cutting blades are changed
where the cutting depth changes to avoid
damage to the body and trim panels.
During the curing period of the PU
adhesive, the door windows must be left
open to avoid a build up of pressure when
the doors are opened and closed.

Description
Item
Activated charcoal filter
1
Coarse filter
2
Filter masks with wadding, sponge or colloid filters
and also paper masks are all unsuitable for working
with coating materials because they do not stop
solvent vapors.
Eye protection
Cutting grinding welding solvents and paint bear
fundamental risks for your eyes.
Damage ranging from irritation of the cornea to
incurable illnesses is possible.
Solvents and paint – even water based – could not
only be absorbed via your skin but also via your
eyes.
Therefore always wear the appropriate eye
protection for your work.
Protective goggles must be inert toward splashes
of solvent, and must have side protection. Best
protection during spray painting is offered by full
mask respirators or helmet respirators with built-in
visor.
Skin protection
Spray painters must wear suitable protective work
clothing (flame-proof and anti-static). Also, when
working with water based materials, comprehensive
skin protection must be worn, because these
materials are very easily absorbed through the
skin.
Change your protective clothing at proper intervals.
Clothes contaminated with coating materials can
easily catch fire.
Do not choose clothes or underwear with a large
content of easy melting synthetic fiber, because
this material considerably increases the danger
and degree of injuries (melted plastic on the skin!). For areas of the skin which are not covered by
protective clothing suitable skin protection cleaning
and care agents must be used.
Ear protection
Cutting grinding compressors and extractor fans
and ducts are the main sources of noise in body
and paint shops.
Always wear suitable ear protection like ear plugs
or ear defenders.
Protection of the vehicle
Protect affected areas from weld spatter and dust
during all welding and grinding work on the vehicle.
If metallic dust stays on the vehicle for some time,
there is the likelihood of film rust formation.
Grinding produces tiny spots of damage to the paint
surface, which may cause corrosion. Also use
suitable protective measures to protect the interior
when performing repair operations which relate to
the inside of the vehicle.
For this reason, make sure to:
• Use carbon fiber blankets to protect the vehicle
body and the interior.
• Use covering film to protect the vehicle body from grinding dust and metal dust.
• Use covering paper to protect the interior from grinding dust.
In addition, take into account:
• Remove fuel supply components as necessary.
• Protect working areas which are in danger of catching fire with a fireproof blanket.
• Keep heat away from all components of the air conditioning system.
• Remove all components in the space adjoining the repair area.
Electronic components
Increased use of comfort and safety electronics in
modern vehicles requires additional attention to be
paid during body work.
Over voltages produced during welding can cause
electronic systems to be damaged. In particular,
the safety instructions for performing welding work
on vehicles with airbag systems must be adhered
to.
WARNING: After disconnecting the power
supply and before performing further work,
a wait time of up to 15 minutes must be
