Information on hazards
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2019 MINI Cooper, 2018 MINI Cooper, 2017 MINI Cooper, 2016 MINI Cooper, and 2015 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Aluminum
Hazards/effects Measures/regulations Repair stage 1 and 2:
No hazards/effectsnone Repair stage 3: (Welding) - Explosion hazard due to high concentration of fine aluminum dust.
Arising e.g. during straight-through grinding of coated components in the base material and large-surface grinding of bright-finish components.
- Explosion hazard due to swirling up of fine aluminum dust in cavities.
Created by the necessary, thorough cleaning of machining surfaces and tools before and after machining aluminum.
- Avoid high concentration of fine aluminum dust by means of continuous extraction.
- Use explosion-proof exhaust extraction unit
- Do not use compressed air when cleaning the workbay.
- Avoid swirling up dust when cleaning the workbay.
- Spontaneous combustion of fine aluminum dust when ignition and fire sources are drawn in.
E.g.: hot shavings, grinding sparks, cigarettes, etc.
- Do not operate ignition and fire sources in the intake area of exhaust extraction unit.
- Explosion hazard due to high concentration of fine aluminum dust.
- Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic
