Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil
will result in the removal of natural fats from the
skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis.

In  addition,  used  engine  oil  contains  potentially
harmful  contaminants  which  may  cause  skin
cancer.  Adequate  means  of  skin  protection  and
washing facilities must be provided.

Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to prevent, as far as
practical, the risk of skin contact with mineral oils i.e.
use enclosed systems for handling used engine oil
and degrease components, where practical, before
handling them.

Other precautions:

｠

Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oil,
particularly used engine oil.

｠

Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practical.

｠

Avoid contaminating clothes with oil.

｠

Do not put oily rags in pockets.

｠

Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and oil-soaked
foot-wear. Overalls must be cleaned regularly and
kept separate from personal clothing.

｠

Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection
should be worn i.e. chemical goggles or face
shields. In addition, an eye wash facility should be
provided.

｠

Obtain first aid treatment immediately for open cuts
and wounds.

｠

Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all oil
is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will
help). After cleaning, apply lotion, etc., containing
lanolin to replace natural skin oils is advised.

｠

Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil,
thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

｠

Apply barrier creams before each work period.

｠

If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
immediately.
