Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
If failure/misuse of high pressure/hydraulic equipment results in injection of grease/oil
through the skin seek urgent medical attention. Treat as surgical emergency.
INHALED
- If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Other measures are usually unnecessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
- Heavy and persistent skin contamination over many years may lead to dysplastic changes.
Pre-existing skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product.
- In general, emesis induction is unnecessary with high viscosity, low volatility
products, i.e. most oils and greases.
- High pressure accidental injection through the skin should be assessed for possible
incision, irrigation and/or debridement.
NOTE: Injuries may not seem serious at first, but within a few hours tissue may become
swollen, discoloured and extremely painful with extensive subcutaneous necrosis. Product
may be forced through considerable distances along tissue planes.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
- Foam.
- Dry chemical powder.

FIRE FIGHTING
- Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
- Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.
- Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
- Avoid spraying water onto liquid pools.
- Do not approach containers suspected to be hot.
- Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
- If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
- Combustible.
- Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
- Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers.
- On combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO).

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
CARE: Water in contact with heated material may cause foaming or a steam explosion with
possible severe burns from wide scattering of hot material. Resultant overflow of
containers may result in fire.
Avoid reaction with oxidising agents.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
- Store in original containers.
- Keep containers securely sealed.
- No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
- Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
- Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.
- Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
MATERIAL DATA
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
INGREDIENT DATA
MINERAL OIL: ES TWA: 5 mg/m3 as oil mist
Human exposure to oil mist alone has not been demonstrated to cause health effects
except at levels above 5 mg/m3 (this applies to particulates sampled by a method that
does not collect vapour). It is not advisable to apply this standard to oils containing
unknown concentrations and types of additive.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Safety glasses with side shields
- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or
restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account
of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal
and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,
begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens
should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be
removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- P.V.C. apron.
- Barrier cream.
- Skin cleansing cream.
- Eye wash unit.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of
personal protective equipment required.
For further information consult site specific
CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your
Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

Section 10 - CHEMICAL STABILITY AND REACTIVITY INFORMATION
CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO INSTABILITY
- Presence of incompatible materials.
- Product is considered stable.
- Hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as
"harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human
evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, following
ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg. liver, kidney) damage is evident.
Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing
mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal
tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however,
ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EYE
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives),
direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or
conjunctival redness (as with windburn).
SKIN
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and
thickening of the skin.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
Inhalation of oil droplets or aerosols may cause discomfort and may produce chemical
inflammation of the lungs.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Oil may contact the skin or be inhaled. Extended exposure can lead to eczema,
inflammation of hair follicles, pigmentation of the face and warts on the soles of the
feet. There are few systemic effects, but prolonged exposure may lead to a higher
incidence of lung scarring.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
MINERAL OIL:
Toxicity and Irritation data is related to chemical components and
varies as does the composition and source of the original crude.
A small but definite risk of occupational skin cancer occurs in workers
exposed to persistent skin contamination by oils over a period of years.
This risk has been attributed to the presence of certain polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (typified by benz[a]pyrene).
Petroleum oils which are solvent refined/extracted or severely hydrotreated,
contain very low concentrations of both.
Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
- Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options.
- Consult State Land Waste Authority for disposal.
- Bury or incinerate residue at an approved site.
- Recycle containers if possible, or dispose of in an authorised landfill.
