INFORMATION
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. These can
cause flammability/explosion hazards even at temperatures below the normal flash
point (note: flash point must not be regarded as a reliable indicator of the potential
flammability of vapour in tank headspaces). Tank headspaces should always be
regarded as potentially flammable and care should be taken to avoid static electrical
discharge and all ignition sources during filling, ullaging and sampling from storage
tanks. Do not enter storage tanks. If entry to vessels is necessary, follow permit to
work procedures. Entry to any tanks or other confined space requires a full risk
assessment and appropriate control measures to be put in place in conformance
with appropriate regulations and industry practice on confined space entry. When
the product is pumped (e.g. during filling, discharge or ullaging) and when sampling,
there is a risk of static discharge. Ensure equipment used is properly earthed or
bonded to the tank structure. Electrical equipment should not be used unless it is
intrinsically safe (i.e. will not produce sparks). Explosive air/vapour mixtures may
form at ambient temperature. If product comes into contact with hot surfaces, or
leaks occur from pressurised fuel pipes, the vapour or mists generated will create a
flammability or explosion hazard. Product contaminated rags, paper or material
used to absorb spillages, represent a fire hazard, and should not be allowed to
accumulate. Dispose of safely immediately after use.
Do not re-use gloves. Protective gloves must give suitable protection against
mechanical risks (i.e. abrasion, blade cut and puncture). Protective gloves will
deteriorate over time due to physical and chemical damage. Inspect and replace
gloves on a regular basis. The frequency of replacement will depend upon the
circumstances of use.
Skin protection Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice. Cotton or polyester/cotton
overalls will only provide protection against light superficial contamination that will
not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be laundered on a regular basis.
When the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when cleaning up spillages or if there is
a risk of splashing) then chemical resistant aprons and/or impervious chemical suits
and boots will be required. Wear suitable protective clothing. Footwear highly
resistant to chemicals. When there is a risk of ignition from static electricity, wear
anti-static protective clothing. For greatest effectiveness against static electricity,
overalls, boots and gloves should all be anti-static. When there is a risk of ignition
wear inherently fire resistant protective clothes and gloves. Work clothing / overalls
should be laundered on a regular basis. Laundering of contaminated work clothing
should only be done by professional cleaners who have been told about the hazards
of the contamination. Always keep contaminated work clothing away from
uncontaminated work clothing and uncontaminated personal clothes. When the risk
of skin exposure is high (from experience this could apply to the following tasks:
cleaning work, maintenance and service, filling and transfer, taking samples and
cleaning up spillages) then a chemical protective suit and boots will be required.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist
before handling this product. Recommended:
Mobility in soil
Mobility Spillages may penetrate the soil causing ground water contamination. This material
may accumulate in sediments.
Soil/water partition Not available.
coefficient (KOC)
Other ecological information Spills may form a film on water surfaces causing physical damage to organisms.
Oxygen transfer could also be impaired.
