WARNING
EXHAUST GASES CAN BE DEADLY
Exposure to exhaust gases produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscu-
lar control, apparent drowsiness, and coma.
Permanent brain damage or death can
result from severe exposure.
Carbon monoxide occurs in the exhaust fumes of internal combustion engines, and be-
comes dangerously concentrated under conditions of inadequate ventilation. The fol-
lowing precautions must be observed to insure the safety of personnel whenever en-
gine is operated.
Do not operate engine in an enclosed area unless it is adequately ventilated.
Be alert at all times during engine operation for exhaust odors and exposure symp-
toms.
If either are present, immediately ventilate work area. If symptoms persist,
remove affected personnel from area 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,

ing compound.
Make sure there is enough ventilation. Be careful not to breathe in
fumes or let compound touch skin.
If compound is splashed on skin, flush with water
and wash with alcohol, preferably 2 to 3 percent.
