Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
- If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
- If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
- Observe the patient carefully.
- Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
- Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
- Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
- Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
- If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
- 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.
- Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ...
- Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
- Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
- Transport to hospital, or doctor.
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

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

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH GUIDELINES
Established occupational exposure limits frequently do not take into
consideration reproductive end points that are clearly below the thresholds for
other toxic effects. Occupational reproductive guidelines (ORGs) have been
suggested as an additional standard. These have been established after a
literature search for the reproductive no-observed-adverse effect-level (NOAEL)
and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL). In addition the US EPA's
procedures for risk assessment for hazard identification and dose-response
assessment as applied by NIOSH were used in the creation of such limits.
Uncertainty factors (UFs) have also been incorporated.

TRK: 0.5 mg/m鲁
(measured as inhalable fraction of the aerosol)
Currently available analytical methods for monitoring workplace concentrations
in most cases yield total levels of the elements arsenic, nickel or cobalt in
the substances analysed. The differentiation of the type of chemical compound,
which is necessary from a toxicological standpoint, is frequently not possible
without special analytical measures. Because of such difficulties in the
identification of individual compounds of these elements, it is recommended that
the threshold values be applied in general for the relevant element and its
compounds as a basis for meeting safety precautions, even if it has not been
analytically proved that carcinogenic compounds of these elements are present in
the work area.
During machining of cobalt and nickel alloys (cobalt or nickel
is recommended that the threshold value of 0.5 mg/m鲁 cobalt or nickel in the air
of the work area be observed.
The threshold value is based on analysis of metal content.
The technical exposure limit, TRK (Technische Richtkonzentrationen), defines the
airborne concentration of named carcinogenic materials which is the minimum
possible given the state of current technologies. TRK values are assigned only
for materials for which there is no current MAK (German exposure standard).
Observance of the TRK value is intended to reduce the risk of adverse effects on
health but does NOT completely eliminate it. Since no threshold doses can be
determined for carcinogens, health considerations require that the exposure
limits be kept as far as possible below the TRK and that the TRK value be
gradually reduced. The limitation of exposure peaks is regulated as follows;
Short-term exposure limit: 5 x TRK
Short-term exposure duration: 15 min/average
Frequency per work shift: 5 times
Interval: 1 hour

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
(No Oral LD50, any animal species) 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.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments
EYE
May produce discomfort of the eyes*.
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.
May cause SENSITISATION by skin contact.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product
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.
The most common toxic reaction to nickel is skin sensitisation, which often
results in a chronic eczema called `nickel itch'. The first symptom is
itching, which occurs up to 7 days before skin eruption appears. The primary
skin eruption is erythematous or follicular, and it may be followed by
superficial discrete ulcers (which discharge and become crusted), or eczema.

several weeks.

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.
