DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Two Pack
Can also contain harmful and toxic unreacted
resins and resin hardening agents. The
manufacturers instructions should be followed. See
also Resin-based Adhesives and Isocyanate
Adhesives and Sealers under Adhesives and
Sealers.
Spraying should preferably be carried out in
exhausted ventilated booths removing vapor and
spray mists from the breathing zone. Individuals
working in booths should wear appropriate
respiratory protection. Those doing small-scale
repair work in the open workshop should wear
air-fed respirators.
Pressurized Equipment
See High Pressure 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.
