1995 Land Rover Discovery Workshop Manual

INTRODUCTION
SYNTHETIC RUBBER
USED ENGINE OIL
Many ’0’ ring seals, flexible pipes and other similar
items which appear to be natural rubber are made of
synthetic materials called Fluoroelastomers. Under
normal operating conditions this material is safe, and
does not present a health hazard. However, if the
material is damaged by fire or excessive heat, it can
break down and produce highly corrosive Hydrofluoric
acid which can cause serious burns on contact with
skin. Should the material be in a burnt or overheated
condition handle only with seamless industrial gloves.
Decontaminate and dispose of the gloves immediately
after use.
WARNING: Prolonged and repeated
contact with engine or motor oil will result
in the removal of natural fats from the
skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
Used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and washing
facilities should be provided.
Handling precautions
1.
Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
If skin contact does occur, remove any contaminated
clothing immediately and obtain medical assistance
without delay. In the meantime, wash the affected
area with copious amounts of cold water or limewater
for fifteen to sixty minutes.
2.  Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where applicable.
3.  Do not put oily rags in pockets.
4.  Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly
underwear, with oil.
5.
Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard
unwashable clothing and oil impregnated
footwear.

Use barrier creams, before each work period, to
help the removal of oil from the skin.

removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will
help). Preparations containing lanolin replace the
natural skin oils which have been removed.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel,
petrol, thinners or solvents for washing the skin.
If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice.

to handling.
