What safety precautions are needed when handling transformer oil?

When handling transformer oil, essential safety precautions include wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye contact. Ensure proper ventilation in the work area to avoid inhalation of fumes. Use spill containment measures to manage leaks, and store oil in designated, labeled containers away from heat sources. Additionally, be aware of the oil’s flammability and follow local regulations for disposal and environmental protection.
