Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
路 If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
路 If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if
possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
路 Observe the patient carefully.
路 Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness;
i.e. becoming unconscious.
路 Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can
comfortably drink.
路 Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
路 Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
路 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.
路 If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
路 Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
路 Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
路 Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
路 Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
路 If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
路 Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
路 Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where
possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
路 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.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
路 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.
路 In general, emesis induction is unnecessary with high viscosity, low volatility
products, i.e. most oils and greases.
路 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.

_________ _________ _____
Australia Exposure Standards mineral oil (Oil mist, refined 5
mineral)
MATERIAL DATA
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
INGREDIENT DATA
MINERAL OIL:
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.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
No special equipment for minor exposure i.e. when handling small quantities.
路 OTHERWISE:
路 Safety glasses with side shields.
路 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
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE: Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Safety footwear may be required.

OTHER
路 Overalls.

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. 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. Air
contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in
turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively
remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating 0.25- 0.5 m/s (50- 100 f/min)
from tank (in still air)
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, 0.5- 1 m/s (100- 200 f/min.)
intermittent container filling, low speed
conveyer transfers, welding, spray drift,
plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, 1- 2.5 m/s (200- 500 f/min)
drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts,
gas discharge (active generation into zone of
rapid air motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high 2.5- 10 m/s (500- 2000 f/min.)
speed wheel generated dusts (released at high
initial velocity into zone of very high rapid
air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to 1: Disturbing room air currents
capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
value only
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood - local control only
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening
of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance
from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction
point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating
source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2
m/s (200-400 f/min.) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from
the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits
within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or used.

MINERAL OIL:
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
Toxicity and Irritation data for petroleum-based mineral oils are related to chemical
components and vary 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.
