Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
1. Preamble1.1. Indications on Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the professional user about guidance on safe use of petroleum products, in all its aspects, should take into account that applicable legislation and general accepted practices for the management of industrial routine activities or emergencies, as well as company operating procedures, already compose a background which indicates which general actions are necessary/mandatory, advisable or unadvisable in such cases. An extensive recapitulation of all this background information will not necessarily add information value to a SDS, and may actually decrease the readability of the document, especially in an emergency. Therefore the indications meant for actual inclusion in SDSs can be focused (although not necessarily limited) to:- Product specific issues (i.e. special hazards or characteristics)- Key Actions (or group of actions) that are applicable in the specific case1.2. The actual level of detail of information and its phrasing in individual SDSs may reflect local or national conventions or requirements, or company policies, but without infringing on the consistency with the information submitted hereunder. Also, more stringent national or local legal requirements or conventions will take precedence over the guidance provided in this document.
2 Warning before intervention 2.1 Spillages make surfaces slippery
3 Inhalation 3.1 Inhalation at ambient temperature is unlikely because of the low vapour pressure of the substance.3.2 Symptoms: May cause: nasal irritation, respiratory tract irritation. 3.3 Move to well-ventilated area. 3.4 Check vital signs regularly and act accordingly.
4 Skin Contact 4.1 Symptoms: May cause mild skin irritation 4.2 Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. 4.3 Wash area with soap and water for 10 to 15 minutes or rinse the skin with 10% dioctyl sulfosuccinate (DS) if available.
5 Eye Contact 5.1 Symptoms: May cause mild eye irritation. 5.2 Remove contact lenses. 5.3 Irrigate exposed eyes with 0.9% normal saline if available or water for at least 15 minutes. 5.4 Irrigate before and after removing the lenses to prevent a carry-over of the substances to the shielded area of the lens..
6 Ingestion/aspiration 6.1 Incidental oral exposure: aspiration hazard; may be fatal if it enters the airways after swallowing. 6.2 IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTRE or doctor/ physician. Do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting does occur, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration.
Fire-fighting measures
1. Extinguishing Media - Foam (Specifically trained personnel only)- Water fog (Specifically trained personnel only)- Dry chemical powder- Carbon dioxide- Other inert gases (subject to regulations)- Sand or earth2. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media2.1. Do not use direct water jets on the burning product; they could cause splattering and spread the fire.2.2. Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam.3. Combustion Products3.1. Incomplete combustion is likely to give rise to a complex mixture of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases, including carbon monoxide and unidentified organic and inorganic compounds.4. Protective Equipment for Firefighters4.1. In case of a large fire or in confined or poorly ventilated spaces wear full fire resistant protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Accidental release measures
1. General information1.1. Stop or contain leak at the source if safe to do so. Avoid direct contact with released material. Stay upwind.1.2. Keep non-involved personnel away from the area of spillage. Alert emergency personnel. Except in case of small spillages, the feasibility of any actions should always be assessed and advised, if possible, by a trained, competent person in charge of managing the emergency.1.3. It is recommended to eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so (e.g. electricity, sparks, fires, flares). 1.4. If required, notify relevant authorities according to all applicable regulations. 2. Personal protection equipment for emergency responders2.1. Small spillages: normal antistatic working clothes are usually adequate. Large spillages: full body suit of chemically resistant and antistatic material.2.2. Work gloves providing adequate chemical resistance, specifically to aromatic hydrocarbons. Note: gloves made of PVA are not water-resistant, and are not suitable for emergency use.2.3. Work helmet. Antistatic non-skid safety shoes or boots.2.4. Goggles or face shield, if splashes or contact with eyes is possible or anticipated.2.5. Respiratory protection will be necessary only in special cases (e.g. formation of mists). A half or full-face respirator with combined dust/organic vapour filter(s), or a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used according to the extent of spill and predictable amount of exposure. If the situation cannot be completely assessed, or if an oxygen deficiency is possible, only SCBA’s should be used.3. Land spillage3.1. Prevent product from entering sewers, rivers, waterways or other bodies of water3.2. If necessary dike the product with dry earth, sand or similar non-combustible materials.3.3. Large spillages may be cautiously covered with foam, if available, to limit fire risk. Do not use direct jets3.4. When inside buildings or confined space, ensure adequate ventilation 3.5. Absorb spilled product with suitable non-combustible materials.3.6. Collect free product with suitable means. Transfer collected product and other contaminated materials to suitable tanks or containers for recycle, recovery or safe disposal.3.7. In case of soil contamination, remove contaminated soil for remediation or disposal according to local regulations.4. Spillages in water or at sea4.1. 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 absorbents4.2. If possible, large spillages in open waters should be contained with floating barriers or other mechanical means. If this not possible, control the spreading of the spillage, and collect the product by skimming or other suitable mechanical means.4.3. The use of dispersants should be advised by an expert, and, if required, approved by local authorities.4.4. Collect recovered product and other contaminated materials in suitable tanks or containers for recovery or safe disposal.5. Additional information5.1. Note: recommended measures are based on the most likely spillage scenarios for this material; however, local conditions (wind, air temperature, wave/current direction and speed) may significantly influence the choice of appropriate actions. For this reason, local experts should be consulted when necessary. Local regulations may also prescribe or limit actions to be taken.
Handling and storage
1. General Information1.1. (Subject to applicability, CMR) Obtain special instructions before use1.2. Ensure that all relevant regulations regarding handling and storage facilities of combustible products are followed.1.3. It is recommended to keep away from sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. – No smoking.1.4. Use and store only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.1.5. Avoid contact with the product.1.6. Avoid release to the environment.2. Handling2.1. Take precautionary measures against static electricity.2.2. Avoid splash filling of bulk volumes when handling hot liquid product. 2.3.

These risk management measures represent a worst case. For a non-classified substance proportionate information may be found in the Safety Data Sheet.3. Storage3.1. Storage area layout, tank design, equipment and operating procedures must comply with the relevant European, national or local legislation.3.2.
