When going through our training we have been many a time warned about the dangers of Skydrol, able to give you cancer, stings like fook etc!, but nothing was ever mentioned of engine oil! - assumed it was pretty safe stuff!

If JetII is a big offender, where do we stand with the likes of BP Turbo 2197?

Mind you, I always wear gloves anyway (not wanting to get hands dirty....), and my company has recently switched from latex to blue nitrile, so were pretty well protected...just a lack of awareness?
