List at least three things to remember when dealing with hydraulic leaks. Be sure to include cleanup precautions/operations in your answer.
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.
