Section IV - Hazards Identification
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE: Not expected to cause prolonged significant eye irritation.
SKIN: Contact with the skin is not expected to cause prolonged or significant irritation. May cause skin
discoloration. Not expected to be harmful to internal organs if absorbed through the skin. High-
Pressure Equipment Information: Accidental high-velocity injection under the skin of materials of
this type may result in serious injury. Seek medical attention at once should an accident like this
occur. The initial wound at the injection site may not appear to be serious at first; but, if left
untreated, could result in disfigurement or amputation of the affected part.
INGESTION: Not expected to be harmful if swallowed.
INHALATION:: Contains a petroleum-based mineral oil. May cause respiratory irritation or other pulmonary
effects following prolonged or repeated inhalation of oil mist at airborne levels above the
recommended mineral oil mist exposure limit.
Section V - First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: No specific first aid measures are required because this material is not expected to cause eye
irritation. As a precaution remove contact lenses, if worn, and flush eyes with water.
Skin Contact: No specific first aid measures are required because this material is not expected to be harmful if it
contacts the skin. As a precaution, remove clothing and shoes if contaminated. Use a waterless
hand cleaner, mineral oil, or petroleum jelly to remove the material. Then wash skin with soap
and water. Wash or clean contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse.
Gardner Denver Lamson No. 5 Lubricating Grease
Section V - First Aid Measures (con鈥檛)
Ingestion No specific first aid measures are required because this material is not expected to be harmful if
swallowed. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. As a precaution, give the person a glass of water or
milk to drink and get medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation: If exposed to excessive levels of material in the air, move the exposed person to fresh air. Get
medical attention if coughing or respiratory discomfort occurs.
Note to Physician: In an accident involving high-pressure equipment, this product may be injected under the skin. Such an
accident may result in a small, sometimes bloodless, puncture wound. However, because of its driving force, material injected into
a fingertip can be deposited in the palm of the hand. Within 24 hours, there is usually a great deal of swelling, discoloration, and
intense throbbing pain. Immediate treatment at a surgical emergency center is recommended.

section.
Section IX - Handling and Storage
Handling (Physical Drum is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty drum or drum may
Aspects): rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor)
and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such
containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode
and cause injury or death. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and
promptly returned to a drum re-conditioner, or properly disposed of. Avoid contaminating soil or
releasing this material into sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water.
Section X - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use in a well-ventilated area. If user operations generate an oil mist, use process enclosures,
Ventilation:
local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below the
recommended mineral oil mist exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 3), applicable exposure limits, job
General Considerations:
activities, and other substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and
selecting personal protective equipment. If engineering controls or work practices are not
adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels of this material, the personal protective
equipment listed below is recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions
and limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time
or under certain circumstances.
Gardner Denver Lamson No. 5 Lubricating Grease
Section X - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection (con鈥檛)
Eye Protection: No special eye protection is normally required.
Skin Protection No special protective clothing is normally necessary.
Respiratory No respiratory protection is normally required. If user operations generate an oil mist, determine
Protection: if airborne concentrations are below the recommended mineral oil mist exposure limits. If not
wear a NIOSH approved respirator that provides adequate protection from measured
concentrations of this material. Use the following elements for air-purifying respirators :
particulate.
Section XI - Toxicological Information
Animal Data: Eye Effects: The mean 24-hour Draize eye irritation score in rabbits is 1.67/110.
Skin Effect: For a 4-hour exposure, the Primary Irritation Index (PII) in rabbits is: 1.3. The acute
dermal LD50 in rats is >5.0 g/kg. This material did not cause sensitization reactions in a Modified
Buehler guinea pig test.
Acute Inhalation Effects: The acute respiratory toxicity is based on data for a similar material.
Additional Toxicology information: This product contains petroleum base oils which may be
refined by various processes including severe solvent extraction, severe hydrocracking, or severe
hydrotreating. None of the oils requires a cancer warning under the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). These oils have not been listed in the National
Toxicology Program (NTP) Annual Report nor have they been classified by the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IRAC) as carcinogenic to human (Group 1), probably
carcinogenic to human (Group 2A), or possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
Section XII - Ecological Information
Ecotoxicity Information: No data available.
Environmental Fate: This material is not expected to be readily biodegradable.
