3. Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
The product has a low coefficient of friction and therefore represents a slip hazard. Excessive and prolonged
inhalation of oil mists may cause a chronic inflammatory reaction of the lungs and a form of pulmonary fibrosis.
Repeated and prolonged skin exposure may cause dermatitis. Mineral base oil does not biodegrade in aerobic
conditions and hence can be persistent. It contains components, which have high potential to bioaccumulate.
For short and long term exposure effects see Section 11 Toxicological data.

PRODUCT NAME : Oil - Tellus 150
Eye Effects: Eye contact may cause some discomfort.
Skin Effects: Toxicity following single exposure is of low order. Repeated and prolonged skin exposure
may cause dermatitis.
Ingestion/ Oral Effects: Toxicity following single exposure is of low order. The main hazard in the event of ingestion
is aspiration into the lungs with possible resultant chemically induced pneumonia-see
Section 4 (Other Information).
Inhalation Effects:
Under normal conditions of use, inhalation of vapours is not feasible or likely to present an
acute hazard. However, excessive and prolonged inhalation of oil mists may cause a
chronic inflammatory reaction of the lungs and a form of pulmonary fibrosis.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: May aggravate pre-existing skin disorders.
NFPA Hazard codes HMIS Hazard codes Rating System
Health 1 Health 1 0 = No Hazard
Flammability 1 Flammability 1 1 = Slight hazard
Instability 0 Reactivity 0 2 = Moderate Hazard
3 = Serious Hazard
4 = Severe hazard
4. First Aid Measures
Flush the eye thoroughly with water. If discomfort persists seek medical attention.
Eyes:
Skin contact does not normally require first aid. Contaminated skin should be washed with
Skin:
soap and water. If persistent irritation occurs, medical advice should be sought without
delay.
If ingestion is suspected, wash out the mouth with water and send to hospital immediately.
Ingestion/Oral:
DO NOT induce vomiting. Show this data sheet to the physician.
Under normal conditions of use, inhalation of vapours is not feasible nor likely to present an
Inhalation:
acute hazard. If high concentrations of mists or fumes are inhaled, remove to fresh air. If
breathing problems occur, a qualified individual should administer oxygen or artificial
respiration as indicated. Seek immediate medical attention.
Other Information: Ingestion and aspiration of petroleum products: There may be risk to health where low
viscosity products are aspirated into the lungs following vomiting, although this is uncommon
in adults. Such aspiration would cause intense local irritation and chemically induced
pneumonia. Children, and those in whom consciousness is impaired, will be more at risk.
Emesis of lubricants is not usually necessary, unless a large amount has been ingested, or
some other compound has been dissolved in the product. If this is indicated, for example,
when there is rapid onset of central nervous system depression from a large ingested
volume - gastric lavage under controlled hospital conditions, with full protection of the airway
is required. Supportive care may include oxygen, arterial blood gas monitoring, respiratory
support and, if aspiration has occurred, treatment with corticosteroids and antibiotics.
Seizures should be controlled with Diazepam or appropriate equivalent drug.

5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Small fires: foam, dry powder, CO2,sand,earth.
Large fires: foam, water fog - NEVER USE WATER JET
Fire and Explosion Hazard: No known unusual hazards. The products of combustion are polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, unburnt hydrocarbons, unidentified organic and inorganic
compounds, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, water and
particulate matter. Direct water stream may cause violent frothing.
Special Protective Equipment In confined spaces or for large fires, fire fighters should wear a self-contained
for Fire Fighters: breathing apparatus (SCBA) which meets appropriate standards operated in
positive pressure mode, and full turnout gear.
For Flammability Properties - see Section 9
6. Accidental Release Measures
The first concern should be to prevent entry of the material into drains and watercourses.
鈥? Large spills should be contained by a suitable barrier such as sand or earth. The liquid should be collected
either directly or with an adsorbent medium, and then transferred to suitable, clearly marked containers and
disposed of in accordance with relevant national and local regulations/laws.
鈥? Small spills should be soaked up with a suitable absorbent such as sand or earth, and disposed of as for large
spills.
鈥? Clean oily surfaces since the material, even in small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning may
require use of solvents or detergents.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: No special handling techniques are required.
Storage: No special measures required. Store the material in properly designed, closable, labelled containers
made of mild steel or high density polyethylene. Avoid extremes of temperature for storage- store between
0oC/32oF and 50oC/122oF.

12. Ecological Information
Soil: small volumes released on land will be adsorbed in the upper layers of soil. Larger volumes may penetrate
into anaerobic soil layers in which the product will persist and may reach the water table on which it will form a
floating layer. The more soluble components may dissolve but their high soil absorption coefficient and the low
solubility will prevent significant contamination of ground water.
Water: the product will form a floating layer on the surface of water and its components will not evaporate or
dissolve to any great extent. Dissolved components will be adsorbed in sediments. In aerobic water and sediments
they will biodegrade slowly, but in anaerobic conditions they will persist. The product is practically non-toxic to
aquatic organisms but contains components which have a high potential to bioaccumulate, and has the potential to
physically foul aquatic organisms.
Air: the product is a mixture of non-volatile components, which are not expected to be released to air in any
significant quantities.
13. Disposal Considerations
The product should be disposed of to a licensed waste contractor. Any disposal method should comply with national
and local regulations/laws.
14. Transport Information
This product is not classified as dangerous under transport regulations.
