General Information 100-00-43 100-00-43 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION First Aid Apart from meeting any legal requirements it is desirable for someone in the workshop to be trained in First Aid procedures. Splashes in the eye should be flushed carefully with clean water for at least ten minutes. Soiled skin should be washed with soap and water. In case of cold burns, from alternative fuels, place affected area in cool to cold water. Individuals affected by inhalation of gases and fumes should be removed to fresh air immediately. If effects persist, consult a doctor. If liquids are swallowed inadvertently, consult a doctor giving him the information on the container or label. Do not induce vomiting unless this action is indicated on the label. Fluoroelastomer See Viton. Foams - Polyurethane See also Fire. Used in sound and noise insulation. Cured foams used in seat and trim cushioning. Follow manufacturers instructions. Unreacted components are irritating and may be harmful to the skin and eyes. Wear gloves and goggles. Individuals with chronic respiratory diseases, asthma, bronchial medical problems, or histories of allergic diseases should not work in or near uncured materials. The components, vapors or spray mists can cause direct irritation, sensitivity reactions and may be toxic or harmful. Vapors and spray mists must not be inhaled. These materials must be applied with adequate ventilation and respiratory protection. Do not remove the respirator immediately after spraying; wait until the vapors/mists have cleared. Burning of the uncured components and the cured foams can generate toxic and harmful fumes. Smoking, naked flames or the use of electrical equipment during foaming operations and until vapors/mists have cleared should not be allowed. Any heat cutting of cured foams or partially cured foams should be conducted with extraction ventilation. See also the vehicle Body Repair Manual. Freon See Air Conditioning Refrigerant. Fuels See also, Fire, Legal Aspects, Chemicals and 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. Swallowing can result in mouth and throat irritation and absorption from the stomach can result in drowsiness and unconsciousness. Small amounts can be fatal to children. Aspiration of liquid into the lungs, through vomiting, is a very serious hazard. Gasoline dries the skin and can cause irritation and dermatitis on prolonged or repeated contact. Liquid in the eye causes severe smarting. Motor gasoline may contain appreciable quantities of benzene, which is toxic upon inhalation, and the concentration of gasoline vapors must be kept very low. High concentrations will cause eye, nose and throat irritation, nausea, headache, depression and symptoms of drunkenness. Very high concentrations will result in rapid loss of consciousness. Make sure there is adequate ventilation when handling and using gasoline. Great care must be taken to avoid the serious consequences of inhalation in the event of vapor build up arising from spillages in confined spaces. Special precautions apply to cleaning and maintenance operations on gasoline storage tanks. Gasoline should not be used as a cleaning agent. It must not be siphoned by mouth. See First Aid.
