Hygiene

JCB lubricants are not a health risk when used properly for

their intended purposes.

However, excessive or prolonged skin contact can remove

the natural fats from your skin, causing dryness and irritation.

Low viscosity oils are more likely to do this, therefore

particular care is necessary in handling used oils which can
be diluted with fuel contamination.

Whenever you are handling oil products you should maintain

good standards of care and personal and plant hygiene. For
details of these precautions we advise you to read the
relevant publications issued by your local health authority,
and note the following:

Storage

Always keep lubricants out of the reach of children.

Never store lubricants in open or unlabelled containers.

Handling

New Oil

There are no special precautions need for the handling or

use of new oil, beside normal care and hygiene practices.

Used Oil

Used engine crankcase lubricants contain harmful

contaminants. In laboratory tests it was shown that used
engine oils can cause skin cancer.

Here are precautions to protect your health when handling

used engine oil:

Avoid prolonged, excessive or repeated skin contact
with used engine oils.

Apply a barrier cream to the skin before handling used
engine oil.

Note the following when removing engine oil from skin:

Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water.

Using a nail brush will help.

Use special hand cleansers to help clean dirty hands.

Never use petrol, diesel fuel or gas oil.

Avoid skin contact with oil soaked clothing.

Don't keep oily rags in pockets.

Wash dirty clothing before re-use.

Throw away oil-soaked shoes.

Waste Disposal

All waste products should be disposed of in accordance with

all the relevant regulations.

The collection and disposal of used engine oil should be in

accordance with any local regulations. Never pour used
engine oil into sewers or drains.

Spillage

Absorb on sand or a locally approved brand of absorbent

granules. Scrape up and remove to a chemical disposal
area.
