Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
鈥? If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
鈥? If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
鈥? Observe the patient carefully.
鈥? Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
鈥? Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
鈥? Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
鈥? Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
鈥? 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.
鈥? If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
鈥? Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
鈥? Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
鈥? Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ...
鈥? 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
鈥? If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
鈥? Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
鈥? Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
鈥? 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.
鈥? Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
鈥? 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.
鈥? In general, emesis induction is unnecessary with high viscosity, low
volatility products, i.e. most oils and greases.
鈥? 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.

FIRE FIGHTING
鈥? Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
鈥? Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
鈥? Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water
course.
鈥? Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
鈥? Avoid spraying water onto liquid pools.
鈥? Do not approach containers suspected to be hot.
鈥? Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
鈥? If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.

INGREDIENT DATA
MINERAL OIL:
TLV TWA: 5 mg/m鲁 () [ACGIH]
TLV STEL: 10 mg/m鲁 [ACGIH]
oil mist, mineral
TLV TWA: 5 mg/m鲁; STEL: 10 mg/m鲁.
NOTICE OF INTENDED CHANGE.
TLV TWA 0.2 mg/m鲁 inhalable fraction highly refined A4
NOTE: This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4
NOT classifiable as causing cancer in humans.
ES TWA: 5 mg/m鲁 (oil mist, refined mineral)
Human exposure to oil mist alone has not been demonstrated to cause health
effects except at levels above 5 mg/m鲁 (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
No special equipment for minor exposure i.e. when handling small quantities.
鈥? OTHERWISE:
鈥? Safety glasses with side shields.
鈥? Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them.
HANDS/FEET
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE: Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Safety footwear may be required.
OTHER
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. Local exhaust
ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.

to the upper respiratory tract.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal route of exposure is by skin contact; lesser exposures include
inhalation of fumes from hot oils, oil mists or droplets. Prolonged contact with
mineral oils carries with it the risk of skin conditions such as oil
folliculitis, eczematous dermatitis, pigmentation of the face (melanosis) and
warts on the sole of the foot (plantar warts). With highly refined mineral oils
no appreciable systemic effects appear to result through skin absorption.
Exposure to oil mists frequently elicits respiratory conditions, such as asthma;
the provoking agent is probably an additive. High oil mist concentrations may
produce lipoid pneumonia although clinical evidence is equivocal. In animals
exposed to concentrations of 100 mg/m3 oil mist, for periods of 12 to 26 months,
the activity of lung and serum alkaline phosphatase enzyme was raised; 5 mg/m3
oil mist did not produce this response. These enzyme changes are sensitive early
indicators of lung damage. Workers exposed to vapours of mineral oil and
kerosene for 5 to 35 years showed an increased prevalence of slight basal lung
fibrosis.

MINERAL OIL:
contain very low concentrations of both.
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,
