Section 4. First aid measures
Notes to physician Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Inhalation of hydrogen sulphide may cause central respiratory depression leading to
coma and death. It is irritant to the respiratory tract causing chemical pneumonitis
and pulmonary oedema. The onset of pulmonary oedema may be delayed for 24 to
48 hours. Treat with oxygen and ventilate as appropriate. Administer broncho-
dilators if indicated and consider administration of corticosteroids. Keep casualty
under surveillance for 48 hours in case pulmonary oedema develops.
Note: High Pressure Applications
Injections through the skin resulting from contact with the product at high pressure
constitute a major medical emergency. Injuries may not appear serious at first but
within a few hours tissue becomes swollen, discoloured and extremely painful with
extensive subcutaneous necrosis.
Surgical exploration should be undertaken without delay. Thorough and extensive
debridement of the wound and underlying tissue is necessary to minimise tissue
loss and prevent or limit permanent damage. Note that high pressure may force the
product considerable distances along tissue planes.
Protection of first-aiders No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. It
may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Section 5. Firefighting measures

Extinguishing media
Suitable In case of fire, use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguisher or
spray.
Not suitable Do not use water jet. Under no circumstances should water be allowed to contact
hot product because of the danger of boil-over.
Specific hazards arising Avoid spraying directly into storage containers because of the danger of boil-over.
from the chemical Boil-over is the rapid increase in volume caused by the presence of water in hot
product and the subsequent overflow from a tank. Vapours can form explosive
mixtures with air. Vapours are heavier than air and can spread along the ground or
float on water surfaces to remote ignition sources. Combustible liquid. In a fire or if
heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a
subsequent explosion. Vapours may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a
considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Runoff to sewer may
create fire or explosion hazard. This material is harmful to aquatic life with long
lasting effects. Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained and
prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain. Liquid will float
and may reignite on surface of water.
Hazardous combustion Combustion products may include the following:
products carbon oxides (CO, CO2) (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide)
sulphur oxides (SO, SO2, etc.)
Hazchem code •3Z
Special precautions for fire- No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
fighters Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. First move people out of line-of-sight of the scene and away from
windows. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Special protective Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
equipment for fire-fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode.

Section 6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency Immediately contact emergency personnel. No action shall be taken involving any
personnel personal risk or without suitable training. Eliminate all ignition sources. Evacuate
surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering.
Do not touch or walk through spilt material. Floors may be slippery; use care to
avoid falling. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapour
or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Put on appropriate personal protective
equipment (see Section 8). This material can contain hydrogen sulphide (H2S), a
very toxic and extremely flammable gas.

Section 6. Accidental release measures
Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area contaminated with vapour,
mist or fume is extremely hazardous without the correct respiratory protective
equipment and a safe system of work. Wear self-contained positive pressure
breathing apparatus (SCBA).
For emergency responders Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area contaminated with vapour, mist
or fume is extremely hazardous without the correct respiratory protective equipment
and a safe system of work. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear a
suitable chemical protective suit. Chemical resistant boots. See also the
information in "For non-emergency personnel".
Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful
to the environment if released in large quantities. Collect spillage. Depending upon
its temperature the product may be liquid, semi-solid or solid. Protect drains from
spills and prevent entry of product, since this may result in blockage on cooling.
Should blockage occur, notify the appropriate authority immediately.

Spillages in water or at sea:

Product less dense than water: In case of small spillages in closed waters (i.e.
ports), contain product with floating barriers or other equipment. Collect spilled
product by absorbing with specific floating absorbents. If possible, before working in
the combustion/exhaust spaces of engines/boilers or before handling ash/dust
produced by the combustion of product, the work area should be thoroughly
dampened with water. This will help to minimise the amount of airborne
contamination produced by the work activity. However, because of the risk of
explosion, do not allow water to come into contact with hot ash/dust. Product which
is denser than water will sink to the bottom, and usually no intervention will be
feasible. If possible, collect the product and contaminated materials with
mechanical means, and store/dispose of according to relevant regulations. In
special situations (to be assessed on case-by-case basis, according to expert
judgement and local conditions), excavations of trenches on the bottom to collect
the product with sand may be a feasible option. If possible, large spillages in open
waters should be contained with floating barriers or other mechanical means. If this
is not possible, control the spreading of the spillage, and collect the product by
skimming or other suitable mechanical means. The use of dispersants should be
advised by an expert, and, if required, approved by local authorities. Collect
recovered product and other contaminated materials in suitable tanks or containers
for recycle, recovery or safe disposal.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Small spill Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if without risk. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Move containers from spill area. Absorb with an inert
material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. The method and
equipment used must be in conformance with appropriate regulations and industry
practice on explosive atmospheres. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal
contractor.
Large spill Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill
area. Approach the release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,
basements or confined areas. Dike spill area and do not allow product to reach
sewage system and surface or ground water. Contain and collect spillage with non-
combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth
and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13).
Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Contaminated absorbent
material may pose the same hazard as the spilt product. The method and
equipment used must be in conformance with appropriate regulations and industry
practice on explosive atmospheres. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal
contractor. Depending upon its temperature the product may be liquid, semi-solid or
solid.
Protect drains from spills and prevent entry of product, since this may result in
blockage on cooling. Should blockage occur, notify the appropriate authority
immediately.
Scrape up bulk of solid material and remove liquid with sand or other suitable inert
absorbent material. If necessary, clean the contaminated area using hot water and
detergent: absorb the washings - do not wash into drains.

Section 7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe Contact with hot product may cause burns. Put on appropriate personal protective
handling equipment (see Section 8). Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest.
Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Avoid breathing vapour or
mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid release to the environment. Do not
enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Wear
appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Take precautionary measures
against electrostatic discharges. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static
electricity during transfer by earthing and bonding containers and equipment before
transferring material. Wash thoroughly after handling. Eating, drinking and smoking
should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed.
Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating
areas. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible
material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks,
open flame or any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating,
lighting and material handling) equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Empty
containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
When product is heated to high temperatures, vapour, mists or fumes will be given
off and may condense, contaminating the skin or clothing of operatives. Prolonged
or repeated contact with this condensate may give rise to dermatitis.

Regular periodic self inspection of the skin is recommended, especially those

areas subject to contamination. In the event of any localised changes in
appearance or texture of the skin being noticed, medical advice should be sought
without delay. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.
Conditions for safe storage, Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved
including any area. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
incompatibilities ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and
drink. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidising materials. Keep
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Store and use only in
equipment/containers designed for use with this product. Containers that have been
opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not
store in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination.

This material can contain hydrogen sulphide (H2S), a very toxic and extremely
flammable gas. Vapours containing hydrogen sulphide may accumulate during
storage or transport and may also be vented during filling of tanks. Hydrogen
sulphide has a typical "bad egg" smell but at high concentrations the sense of smell
is rapidly lost, therefore do not rely on sense of smell for detecting hydrogen
sulphide. Use specially designed measuring instruments for determining its
concentration. If hydrogen sulphide is present, the flammable limits can be from 4.3
to 45.5% by volume and its presence may promote the formation of pyrophoric iron
compounds.
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.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
Ingredient name Exposure limits
Fuel oil, residual ACGIH TLV (United States).
TWA: 0.2 mg/m³, (Benzene-soluble)
Recommended monitoring If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace
procedures atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness
of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory
protective equipment. Reference should be made to appropriate monitoring
standards. Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the
determination of hazardous substances will also be required.
Appropriate engineering Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant
controls airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits. All
activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to ensure
exposures are adequately controlled. Personal protective equipment should only be
considered after other forms of control measures (e.g. engineering controls) have
been suitably evaluated. Personal protective equipment should conform to
appropriate standards, be suitable for use, be kept in good condition and properly
maintained.
Your supplier of personal protective equipment should be consulted for advice on
selection and appropriate standards. For further information contact your national
organisation for standards. The final choice of protective equipment will depend
upon a risk assessment. It is important to ensure that all items of personal
protective equipment are compatible.
Environmental exposure Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and
safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye protection Hot material: to prevent thermal burns wear a helmet, full face visor and heat
resistant neck flap / apron.
Cold material: wear safety glasses with side shields. Chemical splash goggles.
Hand protection Recommended: Nitrile gloves.

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. Cold material: 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,

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
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.
Respiratory protection Recommended: Combined filter suitable for gases, vapours and particles (dust,
smoke, mist, aerosol). Filter type: AP
Personal gas monitors may also provide early warning of hydrogen sulphide.

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Suitable

breathing apparatus (independent of ambient atmosphere) must be worn where
there is a risk of hydrogen sulfide exposure limits being exceeded. If there is a
requirement for the use of a respiratory protective device, but the use of breathing
apparatus (independent of ambient atmosphere) is not required, then a suitable
filtering device must be worn. The filter class must be suitable for the maximum
contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when
handling the product. The correct choice of respiratory protection depends upon the
chemicals being handled, the conditions of work and use, and the condition of the
respiratory equipment. Safety procedures should be developed for each intended
application. Respiratory protection equipment should therefore be chosen in
consultation with the supplier/manufacturer and with a full assessment of the
working conditions. Respiratory protection should conform to AS/NZS 1715 and AS/
NZS 1716.
Thermal hazards Hot material: Wear suitable protective clothing to protect against heat and brief
contact with flame. Protection should be provided for exposed areas of the neck
and head.
