2.5 Emergency fire regulations
In case of fire, use only CO2or powder extinguishers on electrical equipment. Do
not direct jets of water towards the machine: this can result in short circuits. If the
fire is not extinguished immediately, take precautions against the dispersion of
heated air, water, oil and other fluids. If the machine is equipped with pressurised
tanks and hoses/pipes, they may explode if exposed to the flames for an extended
period of time: take precautions against the hazard constituted by the fluids they
contain.
2.6 Hygiene rules for the use of lubricants
Warning!
Provide CO2and powder extinguishers in the workplace.
To prevent fire, keep the machine clean and clear of oil, solvents, rags, etc.
The use of powder extinguishers seriously damages the machine; use
them only as a last resort.
Danger
Fire fighting staff must wear personal respirators when using CO2
extinguishers.
Remark
The use of extinguishers must be governed by a label.
Supervisor
The User must ensure that all operators are aware of the hygiene rules
governing the use of lubricants.
Danger
Refer to the safety sheets of the lubricants in use as regards the use of
Individual Safety Equipment.
Indicate any problems due to incompatibility between the lubricants and
other materials.
