SEBU8726-03 9 Safety Section Burn Prevention Use exhaust ventilation on permanent machining jobs. Avoid static electricity risk when fueling. Ultra- low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) poses a greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formula- tions with a higher sulfur contents. Avoid death or serious injury from fire or explosion. Consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding practices. Wear an approved respirator if there is no other way to control the dust. Comply with applicable rules and regulations for the work place.
In the United States, use Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. These OSHA requirements can be found in “29 CFR 1910.1001”. Obey environmental regulations for the disposal of asbestos. Asbestos Information Stay away from areas that might have asbestos particles in the air. Dispose of Waste Properly Illustration 6 g00702022 Perkins replacement parts that are shipped from Perkins are asbestos free. Perkins recommends the use of only genuine Perkins replacement parts. Use the following guidelines when you handle any replacement parts that contain asbestos or when you handle asbestos debris.
Illustration 7 g00706404 Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment. Potentially harmful fluids should be disposed of according to local regulations. Use caution. Avoid inhaling dust that might be generated when you handle components that contain asbestos fibers. Inhaling this dust can be hazardous to your health. The components that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake bands, lining material, clutch plates, and some gaskets. The asbestos that is used in these components is usually bound in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is not hazardous unless airborne dust that contains asbestos is generated.
Always use leakproof containers when you drain fluids. Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any source of water. i06702818 Burn Prevention If dust that may contain asbestos is present, there are several guidelines that should be followed: Do not touch any part of an operating engine system. The engine, the exhaust, and the engine aftertreatment system can reach temperatures as high as 650 °C (1202 °F) under normal operating conditions. Never use compressed air for cleaning. Avoid brushing materials that contain asbestos. Avoid grinding materials that contain asbestos. At idle engine speed and/or zero vehicle speed, an operator can request manual regeneration.
Under this condition, the exhaust gas temperature can reach 650 °C (1202 °F). Otherwise automatic regeneration can produce exhaust gas temperatures as high as 650 °C (1202 °F). Use a wet method to clean up asbestos materials. A vacuum cleaner that is equipped with a high efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) can also be used.
