HEALTH HAZARD
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
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 (e.g
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.
EYE
Although the liquid 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
Not considered to cause discomfort through normal use.
Excessive use or prolonged contact may lead to defatting, drying and irritation
of sensitive skin
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal hazards are accidental eye contact and cleaner overuse. Overuse or
obsessive cleaner use may lead to defatting of the skin and may cause
irritation, drying, cracking, leading to dermatitis.
Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects
adverse to the health (as classified by EC Directives using animal models);

HEALTH HAZARD ...
nevertheless exposure by all routes should be minimised as a matter of course.
FIRST AID
SWALLOWED
Immediately give a glass of water.
First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information
Centre or a doctor.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with eyes:
Wash out immediately with water.
If irritation continues, seek medical attention.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
Wipe off excess with absorbent tissue or towel.
Seek medical attention if swelling/redness/blistering or irritation occurs.
INHALED
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
Other measures are usually unnecessary.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
Treat symptomatically.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
EXPOSURE STANDARDS
No data for WD-40 Solvol Liquid Handsoap.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
None under normal operating conditions.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
No special equipment for minor exposure i.e. when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE: Safetyglasses with side shields.
Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them.

GLOVE SELECTION INDEX
Glove selection is based on a modified presentation of the:
"Forsberg Clothing Performance Index".
The effect(s) of the following substance(s) are taken into account in the
computer-generated selection:
Substance
________________________________________
water
BUTYL A
NEOPRENE A
VITON A
PVA C
NATURAL RUBBER C
* CPI - Chemwatch Performance Index
A: Best Selection
B: Satisfactory; may degrade after 4 hours continuous immersion
C: Poor to Dangerous Choice for other than short term immersion
NOTE: As a series of factors will influence the actual performance of the glove,
a final selection must be based on detailed observation. -
* Where the glove is to be used on a short term, casual or infrequent basis,
factors such as "feel" or convenience (e.g. disposability), may dictate a choice
of gloves which might otherwise be unsuitable following long-term or frequent
use. Aqualified practitioner should be consulted.
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 SafetyAdvisor.
