Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
- 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.
INHALED
- If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
- 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.

MATERIAL DATA
None assigned. Refer to individual constituents.
INGREDIENT DATA
DISTILLATES, PETROLEUM, LIGHT, ACID-TREATED:
DISTILLATES, PETROLEUM, MIDDLE, HYDROTREATED:
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.
DISTILLATES, PETROLEUM, LIGHT, ACID-TREATED:
REL TWA: 300 ppm [Manufacturer]
WARNING: This substance is classified by the NOHSC as Category 2 Probable Human
Carcinogen.
DISTILLATES, PETROLEUM, MIDDLE, HYDROTREATED:
SILICA AMORPHOUS, DIATOMACEOUS EARTH:
Amorphous crystalline silica shows little potential for producing adverse
effects on the lung and the TLV-TWA reflects that of a particulate of low
intrinsic toxicity. Mixtures of diatomaceous earth and crystalline silica
are treated in a different manner.
GLYCEROL:
The mist is considered to be a nuisance particulate which appears to have
little adverse effect on the lung and does not produce significant organic
disease or toxic effects. OSHA concluded that this limit would protect the
worker form kidney damage and perhaps, testicular effects.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Safety glasses with side shields; or as required,
- 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 protective gloves, eg. PVC.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- Eyewash unit.
RESPIRATOR

zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (defined

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in a well-ventilated area.
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 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
The liquid is discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract and may be harmful if
swallowed in large quantity.
Ingestion may result in nausea, pain, vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by aspiration
may cause potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
EYE
The liquid is discomforting to the eyes and is capable of causing a mild, temporary
redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary impairment of vision and/ or
other transient eye damage/ ulceration.
SKIN
The liquid is discomforting to the skin if exposure is prolonged and is capable of
causing skin reactions which may lead to dermatitis from repeated exposures over long
periods.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
INHALED
The vapour is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition.
Acute effects from inhalation of high concentrations of vapour are pulmonary irritation,
including coughing, with nausea; central nervous system depression - characterised by
headache and dizziness, increased reaction time, fatigue and loss of co-ordination.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and by inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures.
Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying,
cracking, irritation and dermatitis following.
Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment
and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS].

GLYCEROL:
TOXICITY IRRITATION
Oral (Rat) LD50: 12600 mg/kg
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may
produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often
characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling epidermis. Histologically there may
be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the
epidermis.
