Segurança e saúde em sistemas de combustível GLP (gás liquefeito de petróleo)

General Information 100-00-64 100-00-64 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Fuel Systems Health and Safety Precautions WARNING: Only fully trained technicians, who are conversant with local regulations, are to work on gas fuel systems. Make sure that all components of the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fuel system are labeled with the ECE R 67.01 approval label. Highly flammable. Observe "NO SMOKING" signs. Fuel may not giie adequate warning before toxic or harmful effects arise. Exposure to fuel can be harmful and can cause severe health damage or death. Only work on a vehicle in a designated area, that is well ventilated and with access restricted to authorized personnel. If the smell of gas fuel is present, immediately advise all persons in the area to take preventative actions to prevent explosion or fire and evacuate the area. Make sure that the area is ventilated and that no smell of gas fuel is present before returning to the area. Long sleeved cotton overalls and rubber neoprene gloves must be worn during removal and installation of gas fuel system components. EYE CONTACT: If liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) comes into contact with the eyes, immediately flush the eyes with plenty of running water for 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention. INHALED: If liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is inhaled, move a victim to fresh air. Keep a victim warm and at rest. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. Seek immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: If liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) comes into contact with the skin, it produces severe frostbite. Immediately flush affected areas with plenty of cold running water. Seek immediate medical attention. If possible always close the gas fuel tank valve and run the engine on gas fuel until it automatically switches to petrol prior to taking the vehicle into the workshop area. Make sure that the gas fuel system pressure has been released before starting work on the gas fuel circuit. Do not use compressed air to force gas fuel out of the fuel tank. Keep fuel containers tightly closed, out of direct sunlight and in a cool area. Keep away from heat sources, ignition sources and oxidizing agents. The gas fuel tank must be removed prior to moving the vehicle into paint drying ovens above 40°C. Situations, such as extremely hot days, may cause the gas fuel system to vent off. Install new warning labels to the original locations. CAUTION: Fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very precise tolerances and fine clearances. It is essential that absolute cleanliness is observed when working with these components. Make sure that the workshop area in which the vehicle is being worked on is as clean and as dust free as possible.
