HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION OSHA Hazard Classification: No warning statements required. Routes of Entry: Inhalation, skin contact, ingestion Chemical Interactions: Avoid contact with all oxidizing agents IV FIRST AID Inhalation Remove individual to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or oxygen as appropriate. Keep patient warm. Seek immediate medical advice. Not an expected route of entry. Overexposure may cause irritation of the mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Skin Contact: Flush skin thoroughly with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly. Seek medical advice if contact was extensive. Prolonged direct skin contact may cause dermatitis or irritation. Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water while holding eyelids apart. Seek immediate medical advice Overexposure to direct eye contact may cause redness, irritation, discomfort or tearing. Ingestion: May produce laxative effect. Seek immediate medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Not an expected route of exposure. Ingestion may cause abdominal pains, cramping, nausea or vomiting. Notes To Physician: Treat symptomatically. V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammability Summary: Heavy Grease Flash Point: > 400 F Fire/Explosion Hazards: This material is not considered a potential fire and explosion hazard under normal operating conditions. Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, CO2. Water spray may be used to cool containers. Do not allow, contaminated water to enter sewers or waterways. Fire Fighting Instructions: In case of fire, use normal fire fighting equipment including a NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water to cool containers. Hazardous Combustion Products: Oxides of carbon. 1. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Protection for Emergency Situations: Evacuate the area of all unnecessary personnel. Eliminate any ignition sources until the area is determined to be free from explosion and fire hazards. Contain the release and eliminate its source if this can be done safely. Wear protective clothing. Keep unprotected persons away from spill. Spill Mitigation Procedures Air Release: Low volatility makes this hazard unlikely. Provide adequate ventilation. Keep away from ignition sources Water Release: Contain all liquid for treatment and/or disposal as a (potential) hazardous waste. Notify all downstream users of possible contamination. Keep away from ignition sources. Do not flush to sewer! US regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of stipulated quantities. US Coast Guard National Response Center is 800-424-8802. Spill Mitigation Procedures (Cont’d) Land Release: Create a dike or trench to contain materials. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand, clay, earth or commercial absorbent), then place in a chemical waste container. Decontaminate all clothing and the spill area using a detergent and flush with large amounts of water. Contain all contaminated water for disposal and/or treatment. Additional Spill Information: Stop source of spill as soon as possible and notify appropriate personnel. Utilize emergency response personal protection equipment prior to the start of any response. Evacuate all non-essential personnel. Dispose of spill residues per guidelines under Section XIII, Disposal Considerations. VII HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Do not take internally. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Upon contact with skin or eyes, wash with soap and water. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Storage Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool area away from ignition sources and oxidizers. No special precautions need be taken if product is handled according to directions. VIII EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls are normally NOT necessary when handling or using this product. General exhaust ventilation is usually sufficient for general worker safety and comfort. Explosion proof motors and fans are not required for unheated handling. Respirator Type(s): Air purifying respirators should not be used in oxygen deficient or IDLH atmospheres or if exposure concentrations exceed ten (10) times the published limit. Skin: Wear impervious gloves (butyl rubber, Viton, e.g.) to avoid skin contact. Follow good industrial hygiene practices. Eyes: Use chemical safety glasses with side shields, safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible.
