General Information 100-00-45 100-00-45 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 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. Make sure there is adequate ventilation to control dusts, mists and fumes. High Pressure Air, Lubrication and Oil Test Equipment See also Lubricants and Greases. Always keep high-pressure equipment in good condition, and regularly maintained, particularly at joints and unions. Never direct a high-pressure nozzle, for example diesel injector, at the skin as the fluid may penetrate to the underlying tissue, and cause serious injury. Halon See CFCs. Legal Aspects There are many laws and regulations relating to health and safety in the use and disposal of materials and equipment in a workshop. For a safe working environment and to avoid environmental pollution, workshops should be familiar, in detail, with the many health and safety laws and regulations within their country, published by both national and local authorities. Lubricants and Greases Avoid all prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oils. All lubricants and greases may be irritating to the eyes and skin. Transmission Fluids Safety instructions Certain Transmission and Power Steering fluids supplied to Ford may contain additives which have the potential to cause skin disease (dermatitis) to exposed persons. The dermatitis may be irritant or allergic in nature. Risks are higher where prolonged or repeated skin contact with a fluid may occur. These fluids are used for vehicle initial fill and service purposes. This sub-section is to: ‡ Inform Service personnel who may come into contact with these vehicle fluids (hazard communication). ‡ Summarise appropriate workplace control measures and personal protective equipment requirements. ‡ Draw attention to the existence of Material Safety Datasheets (MSDS's) for the fluids (available from Ford Customer Service Division). These MSDS's contain detailed information on hazards and appropriate controls. Control measures Workplace risk assessments made under national chemical control regulations should identify operations involving the fluids as potentially hazardous and specify workplace control and worker awareness measures. In such circumstances, the relevant Material Safety Datasheet (see the details specified below) which specifies hazards and control measures in detail should be made available for guidance. Avoid unprotected skin contact with the fluids, and in particular, avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Work practices should be organised so as to minimise the potential for skin contact. This may include the use of drip trays, absorbents, correct fluid handling equipment (funnels etc), and workplace housekeeping measures such as the cleaning of contaminated surfaces. Personnel engaged in operations where skin contact could occur (such as fluid draining or filling) should wear impervious gloves made from nitrile rubber, certified to a chemical protection standard, e.g. Europe Standard EN374. This glove type is widely available from reputable suppliers of gloves for chemical protection [including the manufacturers Ansell-Admont (Solvex Range), North Safety products (North Nitrile Latex Gloves range), and
