Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE
If this product comes in contact with eyes:
路 Wash out immediately with water.
路 If irritation continues, seek medical attention.
路 Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
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 Other measures are usually unnecessary.
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.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
MATERIAL DATA
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
INGREDIENT DATA
MINERAL OIL:
ES TWA: 5 mg/m3 refined mineral oil mist
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
路 Safety glasses with side shields
路 Chemical goggles.
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

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
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
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such as:
路 frequency and duration of contact,
路 chemical resistance of glove material,
路 glove thickness and
路 dexterity,
are important in the selection of gloves.
路 Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
路 Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
OTHER
路 Overalls.
路 P.V.C. apron.
路 Barrier cream.
路 Skin cleansing cream.
路 Eye wash unit.
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.

Section 10 - CHEMICAL STABILITY AND REACTIVITY INFORMATION
CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO INSTABILITY
路 Presence of incompatible materials.
路 Product is considered stable.
路 Hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
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 (eg. 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
The liquid may be miscible with fats or oils and may degrease the skin, producing a skin
reaction described as non-allergic contact dermatitis. The material is unlikely to
produce an irritant dermatitis as described in EC Directives .
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may
produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the
material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
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.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
Inhalation of oil droplets or aerosols may cause discomfort and may produce chemical
inflammation of the lungs.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following
repeated or long-term occupational exposure.
Oil may contact the skin or be inhaled. Extended exposure can lead to eczema,
inflammation of hair follicles, pigmentation of the face and warts on the soles of the
feet. Exposure to oil mists can cause asthma, pneumonia and scarring of the lungs. Oils
have been linked to cancer of the skin and scrotum. Compounds that are less viscous and
with smaller molecular weights are more dangerous. There may be liver damage and the
lymph nodes may be affected; heart inflammation can also occur at high doses.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
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.
Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
Refer to data for ingredients, which follows:
MINERAL OIL:
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
路 Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options.
路 Consult State Land Waste Authority for disposal.
路 Bury or incinerate residue at an approved site.
路 Recycle containers if possible, or dispose of in an authorised landfill.

Section 16 - OTHER INFORMATION
Classification of the preparation and its individual components has drawn on official and
authoritative sources as well as independent review by the Chemwatch Classification
committee using available literature references.
A list of reference resources used to assist the committee may be found at:
www.chemwatch.net/references.
The (M)SDS is a Hazard Communication tool and should be used to assist in the Risk
Assessment. Many factors determine whether the reported Hazards are Risks in the
workplace or other settings. Risks may be determined by reference to Exposures Scenarios.
Scale of use, frequency of use and current or available engineering controls must be
considered.
