Risks of injury and poisoning when working with coolant!
When the engine is warm, the cooling system is pressurized. If the cooling system is opened suddenly, there is a risk of scalding from hot coolant which splashes out.
If coolant is swallowed, symptoms of poisoning such as headaches, dizziness, stomach pain, respiratory paralysis, unconsciousness, vomiting and cramps can occur.
Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and eye protection.
