Section 4. First aid measures
Skin contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Drench contaminated clothing
with water before removing. This is necessary to avoid the risk of sparks from static
electricity that could ignite contaminated clothing. Contaminated clothing is a fire
hazard. Contaminated leather, particularly footwear, must be discarded. Clean
shoes thoroughly before reuse. Get medical attention.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If
unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately.
Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. Get medical
attention immediately.
Specific hazards arising Combustible liquid. Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained
from the chemical and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain. In a fire or if
heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a
subsequent explosion. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
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.
Vapours may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance
to a source of ignition and flash back. This product is a poor conductor of electricity
and can become electrostatically charged. If sufficient charge is accumulated,
ignition of flammable mixtures can occur. To reduce potential for static discharge,
use proper bonding and grounding procedures. This liquid may accumulate static
electricity when filling properly-grounded containers. Static accumulation may be
significantly increased by the presence of small quantities of water or other
contaminants. Liquid will float and may reignite on surface of water.

Section 5. Firefighting measures
Hazardous thermal Combustion products may include the following:
decomposition products carbon oxides (CO, CO2) (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide)
Special protective actions No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
for fire-fighters Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. 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 positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
equipment for fire-fighters (SCBA) and full turnout gear.
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. 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,
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.

Section 7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Avoid exposure -
obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions
have been read and understood. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not
breathe vapour or mist. Do not swallow. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter
lungs and cause damage. Never siphon by mouth. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. 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. Avoid
contact of spilt material and runoff with soil and surface waterways. Handling
operations that can promote accumulation of static charges include but are not
limited to: mixing, filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash filling, creating mists
or sprays, tank and container filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch
loading, vacuum truck operations. Restrict flow velocity according to API 2003
(2008), NFPA 77 (2007), and Laurence Britton, “Avoiding Static Ignition Hazards in
Chemical Operations”. To reduce potential for static discharge, ensure that all
equipment is properly grounded and bonded and meets appropriate electrical
classification requirements.
Advice on general Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
occupational hygiene handled, stored and processed. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove
contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. 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. Store locked up. 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.
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 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. 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.

Fuels, diesel ACGIH TLV (United States). Absorbed
through skin.
TWA: 100 mg/m³, (measured as total
hydrocarbons) 8 hours. Issued/Revised:
1/2007 Form: Inhalable fraction and vapor
Appropriate engineering All activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to
controls 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.
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant
airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits.
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.
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.
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.
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 wear inherently fire resistant protective clothes and
gloves.
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 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.
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.
Other skin protection Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures 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 Use with adequate ventilation.
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.
