List at least three things to remember when dealing with hydraulic leaks.

What will be an ideal response?


? Hydraulic oil from a running system may be hot enough to burn skin,
so try to avoid direct contact until you are sure it is safe.
? If a hydraulic oil puddle is uncontrolled, it can cover a much larger area
than you might think. There are special barrier and damming devices that
can help to control large spills.
? Leaks that generate an oil mist can also be a fire and breathing hazard.
Most hydraulic oils are stable and take a lot of heat to ignite, except when
dispersed as a mist in the air.
? Cleaning up hydraulic oil usually requires the use of some type of
absorbing medium.
? You do not want to let hydraulic oil go down any drains connected to the
sewer system as it is a contaminant and will wreak havoc at water
treatment facilities or any natural waterways it might reach.
? When finished with the cleanup, make sure you dispose of any oil and oil
soaked materials properly.
