WARNING
EXHAUST GASES CAN BE DEADLY
EXPOSURE TO EXHAUST GASES PRODUCES SYMPTOMS OF HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, LOSS OF
MUSCULAR CONTROL, APPARENT DROWSINESS, AND COMA. PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE OR
DEATH CAN RESULT FROM SEVERE EXPOSURE.
CARBON MONOXIDE OCCURS IN THE EXHAUST FUMES OF FUEL BURNING HEATERS AND
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES, AND BECOMES DANGEROUSLY CONCENTRATED UNDER
CONDITIONS OF INADEQUATE VENTILATION. THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF PERSONNEL WHENEVER FUEL BURNING HEATER(S) OR
ENGINE OF ANY VEHICLE IS OPERATED FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES OR TACTICAL USE.
DO NOT OPERATE HEATER OR ENGINE OF VEHICLE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA UNLESS IT IS
ADEQUATELY VENTILATED.
DO NOT IDLE ENGINE FOR LONG PERIODS WITHOUT MAINTAINING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
IN PERSONNEL COMPARTMENTS.
DO NOT DRIVE ANY VEHICLE WITH INSPECTION PLATES OR COVER PLATES REMOVED UNLESS
NECESSARY FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES.
BE ALERT AT ALL TIMES DURING VEHICLE OPERATION FOR EXHAUST ODORS AND EXPOSURE
SYMPTOMS. IF EITHER ARE PRESENT, IMMEDIATELY VENTILATE PERSONNEL
COMPARTMENTS. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, REMOVE AFFECTED PERSONNEL FROM VEHICLE
AND TREAT AS FOLLOWS: EXPOSE TO FRESH AIR; KEEP WARM; DO NOT PERMIT PHYSICAL
EXERCISE; IF NECESSARY, ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
IF EXPOSED, SEEK PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR POSSIBLE DELAYED ONSET OF ACUTE
LUNG CONGESTION. ADMINISTER OXYGEN IF AVAILABLE.
THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST EXHAUST GAS POISONING IS ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
