2. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Chemical Composition
Complex hydrocarbon substance, one of the following:
Residues (petroleum), atm. tower. EINECS No: 265-045-2, CAS No: 64741-45-3
Residues (petroleum), atmospheric. EINECS No: 269-777-3, CAS No: 68333-22-2
Gas oils (petroleum), heavy vacuum. EINECS No: 265-058-3, CAS No: 64741-57-7

Hazardous Components
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S), an extremely toxic and highly flammable gas, and other flammable light hydrocarbon gases
may collect in vapour spaces where product is stored.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons will be present, some of which have been shown by experimental studies to induce
skin cancer.

_________________________________________________________________________________
3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Contact with hot product may cause burns.
May cause cancer, classified as a category 2 carcinogen.
This material may contain significant quantities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PCAs), some of which have been
shown by experimental studies to induce skin cancer.
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.

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.

Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.
If hot material enters the eye, flood immediately with cold water to dissipate the heat, if possible, ensuring eyelids are
held open. Take the casualty to hospital for examination and treatment without delay.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
If hot product causes burns, the affected area should be flooded immediately with, or immersed in cold water for 10
minutes, or longer if pain persists. Burns should be covered with clean cotton or gauze, and the casualty taken to
hospital as soon as possible for examination and treatment.
Never use gasoline, kerosine or other solvents to remove fuel oil from skin or clothing.
Medical advice must be obtained urgently if product under high pressure has been injected through the skin.

Ingestion

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...e%20(high%20and%20low%20sulphur%20content).htm (2 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:32:09]


Sheet No: STI2205 Material Name: Atmospheric Residue (high and low sulphur content)

If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.


Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, or coughing, remove to fresh air. If
symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:
Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air
and medical assistance obtained without delay.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with H2S may reasonably be anticipated, should
be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Medical Advice
If ingested, do not induce vomiting.
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.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
Use foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide. DO NOT USE water jets. Avoid spraying directly into storage containers
because of the danger of boil-over.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Ensure good ventilation.
Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
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.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...e%20(high%20and%20low%20sulphur%20content).htm (3 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:32:09]


Sheet No: STI2205 Material Name: Atmospheric Residue (high and low sulphur content)

Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.


Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Spillages of hot product in confined spaces may be especially hazardous because highly toxic hydrogen sulphide gas
may be present. For spillages in such confined spaces the use of approved breathing apparatus by personnel specially
trained in its use may be required.
Vapour may collect in any confined space.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
The product may sink making recovery difficult.
In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorised by the appropriate
government/regulatory authorities.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.
_________________________________________________________________________________

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Confined spaces contaminated with hydrogen sulphide must always be considered as constituting potentially life
threatening environments. Entry into such spaces must never be undertaken except under extreme emergency when
no alternative is possible and then only by trained operators wearing air-supplied breathing apparatus of an approved
type and following procedures strictly in accordance with the Statutory Regulations governing such entry. Please see
the comments in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) of this data sheet.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with hydrogen sulphide may be reasonably
anticipated, should be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Avoid inhalation of dust from combustion/exhaust spaces.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...e%20(high%20and%20low%20sulphur%20content).htm (4 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:32:09]


Sheet No: STI2205 Material Name: Atmospheric Residue (high and low sulphur content)

Fire Prevention
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.
Will present a flammability hazard if heated above flash point but bulk liquids at normal storage temperatures will
present virtually no fire hazard. If fuel contacts hot surfaces, or leaks from high pressure fuel pipes, the vapour and/or
mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
There is no appropriate occupational exposure limit for this material.
Ensure good ventilation.
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.
Relevant exposure limits are:
Hydrogen sulphide
ACGIH (USA): TLV 10 ppm (8 hr TWA); 15ppm (15 min STEL)

Protective Clothing
Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur.
When handling heated material suitable protective clothing of an appropriate standard should be worn to prevent
thermal burns.
If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.
Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered and
preferably starched after use.

Respiratory Protection
If operations are such that the excessive generation of vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, to which operators
may unavoidably be exposed, then suitable approved respiratory equipment should be worn. Note: Approved air-
supplied breathing apparatus must be worn where there may be potential for inhalation of hydrogen sulphide gas.
The use of respiratory equipment must be strictly in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and any statutory
requirements governing its selection and use.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Eyes
Unlikely to cause more than transient stinging or redness if accidental eye contact occurs.
Will cause burns if hot material contacts eyes.

Skin
Will cause burns if hot material contacts skin
As with all such products containing potentially harmful levels of PCAs, prolonged or repeated skin contact may
eventually result in dermatitis or more serious irreversible skin disorders including cancer.

Ingestion
Unlikely to be swallowed in view of the high handling temperatures.

Inhalation
May be irritating to eyes, nose and throat at high vapour concentrations.
May be toxic by inhalation when hydrogen sulphide is present in the vapour.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...e%20(high%20and%20low%20sulphur%20content).htm (6 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:32:09]


Sheet No: STI2205 Material Name: Atmospheric Residue (high and low sulphur content)

Hydrogen sulphide gas may in addition produce irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract.
Vapour, mists or fumes may contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons some of which are known to produce skin
cancer. The inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes over long periods may therefore be hazardous.

Dusts generated during the removal of ash deposits from engine/boiler combustion surfaces or exhaust spaces, will be
harmful if inhaled and may cause nausea and eye, nose and throat irritation. Repeated contact may result in serious
irreversible disorders.

__________________________________________________________________________________
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Cold product - Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical
advice if any pain or redness develops or persists.
Hot product - Flood with water to dissipate heat. In the event of any product remaining, do not try to remove it other than
by continued irrigation with water. Obtain medical attention immediately.

Skin
Where skin burns occur the area should be immediately immersed in cold water until the bitumen is thoroughly cooled. Do
not attempt to remove the bitumen from the skin as it provides an airtight sterile covering over the burn which will
eventually fall away with the scab as the burn heals. If for any reason the bitumen must be removed, this can be done using
a slightly warmed medicinal liquid paraffin. Kerosene and other solvents should never be used. All burns should receive
medical attention. It should be noted that bitumen contracts on cooling and where a limb is encased care should be taken to
avoid the development of a tourniquet effect.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce vomiting;
obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, or coughing, remove to fresh air. If symptoms
persist obtain medical advice.
EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:
Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air and
medical assistance obtained without delay.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Advice
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.
__________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
FIRES IN CONFINED SPACES SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY TRAINED PERSONNEL WEARING APPROVED
BREATHING APPARATUS.
Water may be used to cool nearby heat exposed areas/objects/packages. Avoid spraying directly into storage containers
because of the danger of boil-over.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
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.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage which
may be reasonably anticipated.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable atmosphere is
present before entry.
In the case of large spills contact the appropriate authorities. If spillage occurs call the Environment Agency Emergency
Hotline on 0800 807060 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week).
In the case of spillage on water, the product will sink and recovery may be difficult.
__________________________________________________________________________________
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Precautions
Contact with hot product may cause burns.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Avoid skin contact.
Good working practices, high standards of personal hygiene and plant cleanliness must be maintained at all times.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
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 or other
skin conditions of a serious or irreversible nature.
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.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.

Fire Prevention
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.
Product should not be over heated in storage because of the risk of fire. For advice on storage temperatures please contact
the local BP office.

Storage Conditions
Store under cover away from moisture and sources of ignition. Do not overheat in storage.
Under no circumstances should water be allowed to contact hot product because of the danger of boil-over. Particular care
should be taken to ensure that bulk storage tanks are watertight and that any steam heating coils are regularly checked for
leaks.
For bulk product, the storage temperature should not fluctuate above and below 100 deg C as this increases the risk of
water condensation leading to boil-over. Care must always be exercised when heating bitumen through 100 deg C.
Highly toxic hydrogen sulphide gas may be emitted from hot product and accumulate in enclosed spaces or tanks. Extreme
care must therefore be taken during venting of tanks and enclosed spaces which have at any time contained hot product.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...lack%20Oil/Bitumen%20or%20Vacuum%20residue.htm (3 of 7) [29/01/2002 08:33:47]


Sheet No: SUK2216 Date: 20/5/98 Name of Product: rBitumen or Vacuum residue

Under no circumstances should entry be made into small enclosures without taking full precautions.
Confined spaces contaminated with hydrogen sulphide must always be considered as constituting potentially life
threatening environments. Entry into such spaces must never be undertaken except under extreme emergency when no
alternative is possible and then only by trained operators wearing air-supplied breathing apparatus of an approved type and
following procedures strictly in accordance with the Statutory Regulations governing such entry. Please see the comments
in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) of this data sheet.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to effect a
quick rescue.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with hydrogen sulphide may be reasonably
anticipated, should be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.
Pyrophoric (self-heating) deposits, which may cause fire or explosion, may be formed in storage. Avoid exposure of tank
vapour space to fresh air, and maintain stable storage temperatures. Regular inspection for such deposits will indicate when
tank cleaning is necessary.
__________________________________________________________________________________
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Limits
Ensure good ventilation.
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.

Comply with current local occupational exposure limit. Where not established, the following limits are recommended.
Asphalt, petroleum fumes
UK publication EH40 (Occupational Exposure Limits):
Occupational Exposure Standard: Long-term exposure limit (8-hour TWA) 5 mg m-3
Short-term exposure limit (15 minute) 10 mg m-3

Relevant exposure limits are:


Hydrogen Sulphide
UK publication EH40 (Occupational Exposure Limits):

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Eyes
Will cause burns if hot material contacts eyes.

Skin
Will cause burns if hot material contacts skin
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 or other
skin conditions of a serious or irreversible nature.

Ingestion
Unlikely to be swallowed in view of the high handling temperatures.

Inhalation
At normal ambient temperatures this product will be unlikely to present an inhalation hazard because of its low volatility.
Vapour, mists or fumes may contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons some of which are known to produce skin cancer.
The inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes over long periods may therefore be hazardous.

also contain gases, sulphur and nitrogen compounds.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...Crude%20Oil%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (1 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:33:51]


Sheet No: STI2201 Material Name: Crude Oil Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:25/09/98 Page:

EINECS No. : 232-298-5, CAS-No.: 8002-05-9

Hazardous Components
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons will be present, some of which have been shown by experimental studies to induce
skin cancer.
The following components, considered by various legislative authorities to be hazardous, may be present:
Benzene, EINECS No. 200-753-7, CAS No. 71-43-2
Hydrogen sulphide CAS No. 7783-06-4, EINECS No. 231-977-3

_________________________________________________________________________________
3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Extremely flammable.
May cause cancer, classified as a category 2 carcinogen.
Contains Benzene. Prolonged or repeated exposure to benzene can cause anaemia and other blood diseases,
including leukaemia.
This material may contain significant quantities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PCAs), some of which have been
shown by experimental studies to induce skin cancer.
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.
Harmful if swallowed - aspiration hazard. (If viscosity <7 cSt at 40°C)
Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
Product can be removed from the skin using warmed medicinal paraffin. Never use gasoline or kerosine to remove
product from skin or clothing.
In extreme situations of saturation with this product, drench with water, remove clothing as soon as possible and wash
skin with soap and water. Seek medical advice if skin becomes red, swollen or painful.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or
throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.
EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...Crude%20Oil%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (2 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:33:51]


Sheet No: STI2201 Material Name: Crude Oil Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:25/09/98 Page:

Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air
and medical assistance obtained without delay.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with H2S may reasonably be anticipated, should
be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Medical Advice
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.
If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Drinking milk or medicinal paraffin may be beneficial.
Aspiration of the product is unlikely to occur except as the result of ingestion, followed by vomiting or regurgitation in a
partially or totally unconscious individual, when immediate effects are most likely to result from the aspiration of acidic
stomach contents. If it should occur, transport casualty immediately to hospital.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.
Ensure good ventilation.
Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Any spillage which results in pollution at sea must be treated in accordance with the guidelines in MARPOL 73/78
Annex 1.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.
Confined spaces contaminated with hydrogen sulphide must always be considered as constituting potentially life
threatening environments. Entry into such spaces must never be undertaken except under extreme emergency when
no alternative is possible and then only by trained operators wearing air-supplied breathing apparatus of an approved
type and following procedures strictly in accordance with the Statutory Regulations governing such entry. Please see
the comments in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) of this data sheet.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.

Fire Prevention
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.
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.
Explosive air/vapour mixtures may form at ambient temperature.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.

potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.

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.

Sheet No: STI2109 Material Name: Heating Oil Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.
In the event of spillage, remove all sources of ignition and ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
Clean up spilled material immediately.
Contain and recover spilled material using sand or other suitable inert absorbent material.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorised by the appropriate
government/regulatory authorities.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.

In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...ating%20Oil%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 7) [29/01/2002 08:33:55]


Sheet No: STI2109 Material Name: Heating Oil Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.


Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
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.
Will present a flammability hazard if heated above flash point but bulk liquids at normal storage temperatures will
present virtually no fire hazard. If fuel contacts hot surfaces, or leaks from high pressure fuel pipes, the vapour and/or
mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
There is no appropriate occupational exposure limit for this material.
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.

Protective Clothing
Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur.
If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.
Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered and
preferably starched after use.

Respiratory Protection
If operations are such that exposure to vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, then suitable approved respiratory
equipment should be worn.
The use of respiratory equipment must be strictly in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and any statutory
requirements governing its selection and use.

Fire and HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! This material releases flammable vapors at or below ambient
Explosion temperatures. When mixed with air in certain proportions and exposed to an ignition source,
Hazards these vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces.
Flammable vapors may travel long distances along the ground before reaching a point of
ignition and flashing back.
Open top tanks involved in a fire have a potential for "boil-over" if water or water-in-oil
emulsion is at the bottom of the tank. Boil-over may result in a large expulsion of burning oil
from the tank, greatly increasing the fire area.

Extinguishing Foam, Dry chemical, Carbon dioxide (CO2)


Media
Water and water fog can cool the fire but may not extinguish the fire.
Special For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without
Firefighting proper protective equipment. This may include self-contained breathing apparatus to protect
Procedures against the hazardous effects of combustion products and oxygen deficiencies. Cool tanks
and containers exposed to fire with water. If firefighters cannot work upwind to the fire,
respiratory protective equipment must be worn unless and until atmospheric monitoring
indicates that such protection is not required. Improper use of water and extinguishing
media containing water may cause frothing which can spread the fire over a larger area.
Water fog or spray are of value for cooling tank shells and surfaces exposed to fire, but may
not achieve extinguishment.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Precautions if Contain spill, evacuate non-essential personnel, and safely stop flow. On hard surfaces,
Material is Spilled spilled material may create a slipping hazard. Equip cleanup crews with proper protective
or Released equipment (as specified in Section 8) and advise of hazards. Clean up by recovering as
much spilled or contaminated materials as possible and placing into closed containers.

Sheet No: SSR2111 Material Name: Low Sulphur Fuel Oil Issue Date : 22/09/94 Revision of Sheet Dated:NA Page:

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing and
wash underlying skin.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water. If larger amounts are swallowed, do not induce
vomiting; transport casualty together with the product container, its label or the safety data sheet urgently to hospital.

Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, or coughing, remove to fresh air. If symptoms
persist obtain medical advice.

Medical Advice
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.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction of
vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotrachael intubation.
Monitor for cardiac disrhythmias.
__________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
FIRES IN CONFINED SPACES SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY TRAINED PERSONNEL WEARING APPROVED
BREATHING APPARATUS.

Combustion Products
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
__________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.
Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.
Ensure good ventilation.
Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
Contain and recover spilled material using sand or other suitable inert absorbent material.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...20Fuel%20Oil%20Issue%20Date%20%2022-09-94.htm (2 of 6) [29/01/2002 08:34:21]


Sheet No: SSR2111 Material Name: Low Sulphur Fuel Oil Issue Date : 22/09/94 Revision of Sheet Dated:NA Page:

Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements etc.).
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable atmosphere is
present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover product
from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorised by the appropriate government/regulatory
authorities.
__________________________________________________________________________________
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to the
safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank atmosphere
has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability limit and an
oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to effect a
quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
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.
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.
Product soaked 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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never cut,
weld, solder or braze empty containers.
__________________________________________________________________________________
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Limits
Comply with current local occupational exposure limit.

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
May cause cancer, classified as a category 2 carcinogen.
This material may contain significant quantities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PCAs), some of which have been
shown by experimental studies to induce skin cancer.
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Harmful if swallowed - aspiration hazard.

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.
_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
Medical advice must be obtained urgently if product under high pressure has been injected through the skin.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, or coughing, remove to fresh air. If
symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...ate%20Fuels%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (2 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:34:25]

Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air
and medical assistance obtained without delay.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with H2S may reasonably be anticipated, should
be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Medical Advice
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.

Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
Ash from combustion may contain potentially harmful components such as vanadium and other heavy metal oxides.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.
Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.
Ensure good ventilation.
Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Vapour may collect in any confined space.


If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Spillages of hot product in confined spaces may be especially hazardous because highly toxic hydrogen sulphide gas
may be present. For spillages in such confined spaces the use of approved breathing apparatus by personnel specially
trained in its use may be required.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorised by the appropriate
government/regulatory authorities.
_________________________________________________________________________________

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Confined spaces contaminated with hydrogen sulphide must always be considered as constituting potentially life
threatening environments. Entry into such spaces must never be undertaken except under extreme emergency when
no alternative is possible and then only by trained operators wearing air-supplied breathing apparatus of an approved
type and following procedures strictly in accordance with the Statutory Regulations governing such entry. Please see
the comments in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) of this data sheet.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Avoid inhalation of dust from combustion/exhaust spaces.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.

Fire Prevention
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.
Will present a flammability hazard if heated above flash point but bulk liquids at normal storage temperatures will
present virtually no fire hazard. If fuel contacts hot surfaces, or leaks from high pressure fuel pipes, the vapour and/or
mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
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.
Product contaminated rags, paper or material used to absorb spillages, represent a fire hazard, and should not be

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...ate%20Fuels%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (4 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:34:25]

allowed to accumulate. Dispose of safely immediately after use.


Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
There is no appropriate occupational exposure limit for this material.
Ensure good ventilation.
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.
Relevant exposure limits are:
Hydrogen sulphide
ACGIH (USA): TLV 10 ppm (8 hr TWA); 15ppm (15 min STEL)

Protective Clothing
Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur.
If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.
Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered and
preferably starched after use.

Respiratory Protection
If operations are such that the excessive generation of vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, to which operators
may unavoidably be exposed, then suitable approved respiratory equipment should be worn. Note: Approved air-
supplied breathing apparatus must be worn where there may be potential for inhalation of hydrogen sulphide gas.
The use of respiratory equipment must be strictly in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and any statutory
requirements governing its selection and use.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Eyes
Unlikely to cause more than transient stinging or redness if accidental eye contact occurs.

Skin
Unlikely to cause harm to the skin on brief or occasional contact but prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to
dermatitis.
As with all such products containing potentially harmful levels of PCAs, prolonged or repeated skin contact may
eventually result in dermatitis or more serious irreversible skin disorders including cancer.

Ingestion
Unlikely to cause harm if accidentally swallowed in small doses, though larger quantities may cause nausea and
diarrhoea.
Will injure the lungs if aspiration occurs, eg. during vomiting.

Inhalation
May cause irritation to eyes, nose and throat due to exposure to vapour, mists or fumes.
May be toxic by inhalation when hydrogen sulphide is present in the vapour.
Hydrogen sulphide gas may in addition produce irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract.

Dusts generated during the removal of ash deposits from engine/boiler combustion surfaces or exhaust spaces, will be
harmful if inhaled and may cause nausea and eye, nose and throat irritation. Repeated contact may result in serious
irreversible disorders.

This material may contain significant quantities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PCAs), some of which have been
shown by experimental studies to induce skin cancer.
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, or coughing, remove to fresh air. If
symptoms persist obtain medical advice.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.

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.

Sheet No: STI2107 Material Name: Marine Gas Oil Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.
In the event of spillage, remove all sources of ignition and ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
Clean up spilled material immediately.
Contain and recover spilled material using sand or other suitable inert absorbent material.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorised by the appropriate
government/regulatory authorities.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.

In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...0Gas%20Oil%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 7) [29/01/2002 08:34:28]


Sheet No: STI2107 Material Name: Marine Gas Oil Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.


Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
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.
Will present a flammability hazard if heated above flash point but bulk liquids at normal storage temperatures will
present virtually no fire hazard. If fuel contacts hot surfaces, or leaks from high pressure fuel pipes, the vapour and/or
mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
There is no appropriate occupational exposure limit for this material.
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.

Protective Clothing
Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur.
If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.
Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered and
preferably starched after use.

Respiratory Protection
If operations are such that exposure to vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, then suitable approved respiratory
equipment should be worn.
The use of respiratory equipment must be strictly in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and any statutory
requirements governing its selection and use.

Sheet No: STI2108 Material Name: Residual Fuel Oil Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

Hazardous Components
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S), an extremely toxic and highly flammable gas, and other flammable light hydrocarbon gases
may collect in vapour spaces where product is stored.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons will be present, some of which have been shown by experimental studies to induce
skin cancer.

_________________________________________________________________________________
3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Contact with hot product may cause burns.
May cause cancer, classified as a category 2 carcinogen.
This material may contain significant quantities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PCAs), some of which have been
shown by experimental studies to induce skin cancer.
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.

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.

Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.
If hot material enters the eye, flood immediately with cold water to dissipate the heat, if possible, ensuring eyelids are
held open. Take the casualty to hospital for examination and treatment without delay.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
If hot product causes burns, the affected area should be flooded immediately with, or immersed in cold water for 10
minutes, or longer if pain persists. Burns should be covered with clean cotton or gauze, and the casualty taken to
hospital as soon as possible for examination and treatment.
Never use gasoline, kerosine or other solvents to remove fuel oil from skin or clothing.
Medical advice must be obtained urgently if product under high pressure has been injected through the skin.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, or coughing, remove to fresh air. If
symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:
Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air
and medical assistance obtained without delay.

Sheet No: STI2108 Material Name: Residual Fuel Oil Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with H2S may reasonably be anticipated, should
be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Medical Advice
If ingested, do not induce vomiting.
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.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
Use foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide. DO NOT USE water jets. Avoid spraying directly into storage containers
because of the danger of boil-over.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
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.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Spillages of hot product in confined spaces may be especially hazardous because highly toxic hydrogen sulphide gas
may be present. For spillages in such confined spaces the use of approved breathing apparatus by personnel specially
trained in its use may be required.
Vapour may collect in any confined space.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover

fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Avoid inhalation of dust from combustion/exhaust spaces.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
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.
Will present a flammability hazard if heated above flash point but bulk liquids at normal storage temperatures will
present virtually no fire hazard. If fuel contacts hot surfaces, or leaks from high pressure fuel pipes, the vapour and/or
mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
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.

Sheet No: STI2108 Material Name: Residual Fuel Oil Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
There is no appropriate occupational exposure limit for this material.
Ensure good ventilation.
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.
Relevant exposure limits are:
Hydrogen sulphide
ACGIH (USA): TLV 10 ppm (8 hr TWA); 15ppm (15 min STEL)

Protective Clothing
Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur.
When handling heated material suitable protective clothing of an appropriate standard should be worn to prevent
thermal burns.
If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.
Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered and
preferably starched after use.

Respiratory Protection
If operations are such that the excessive generation of vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, to which operators
may unavoidably be exposed, then suitable approved respiratory equipment should be worn. Note: Approved air-
supplied breathing apparatus must be worn where there may be potential for inhalation of hydrogen sulphide gas.
The use of respiratory equipment must be strictly in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and any statutory
requirements governing its selection and use.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY


Conditions to Avoid
Stable at ambient temperatures.
Hazardous polymerisation reactions will not occur.

Materials to Avoid
Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents.

Hazardous Decomposition Products


Thermal decomposition products will vary with conditions.
Overheating in storage may cause partial vapourisation and decomposition with the production of toxic
hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S).
Incomplete combustion will generate smoke, carbon dioxide and hazardous gases, including carbon monoxide.
Fuel oil ash/dust can be hazardous if inhaled. Before working in combustion/exhaust spaces or handling fuel oil
ash/dust the area should be thoroughly damped down with water. If this is not possible, wear full breathing apparatus
or positive pressure filter sets. Protective clothing must always be worn. When inspecting combustion/exhaust spaces,
wear full face dust respirator and protective clothing.
_________________________________________________________________________________
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Eyes
Unlikely to cause more than transient stinging or redness if accidental eye contact occurs.
Will cause burns if hot material contacts eyes.

Skin
Will cause burns if hot material contacts skin
As with all such products containing potentially harmful levels of PCAs, prolonged or repeated skin contact may
eventually result in dermatitis or more serious irreversible skin disorders including cancer.

Ingestion
Unlikely to be swallowed in view of the high handling temperatures.

Inhalation
May be irritating to eyes, nose and throat at high vapour concentrations.
May be toxic by inhalation when hydrogen sulphide is present in the vapour.
Hydrogen sulphide gas may in addition produce irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract.
Vapour, mists or fumes may contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons some of which are known to produce skin
cancer. The inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes over long periods may therefore be hazardous.

Dusts generated during the removal of ash deposits from engine/boiler combustion surfaces or exhaust spaces, will be
harmful if inhaled and may cause nausea and eye, nose and throat irritation. Repeated contact may result in serious
irreversible disorders.

OTHER TOXICITY DATA:


Specific toxicity tests have not been conducted on this product. Our hazard
evaluation is based on information from similar products, the ingredients,
technical literature, and/or professional experience.

Crude oil is a naturally occurring complex mixture of hydrocarbons whose exact


composition and physical properties can vary widely depending upon its source.

SKIN: Repeated or prolonged contact may result in defatting, oil acne, redness,
itching, inflammation, cracking and possible secondary infections.

From skin-painting studies in laboratory animals, it has been concluded that


most, if not all, petroleum crudes, regardless of source, possess carcinogenic
activity to some degree. This means that workers who practice poor personal
hygiene and who are repeatedly exposed by direct skin contact to crude oil over
many years may potentially be at risk of developing skin cancer. However,
intermittent or occasional skin contact with petroleum crude oils is not
expected to have serious health effects as long as good personal hygiene
measures such as those outlined in this material safety data sheet are followed.
Crude oil has not been identified as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC or OSHA.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas may accumulate in storage tanks of bulk transport
compartments containing this material. Contact with eyes causes painful

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...0Amendments/MSDS/Black%20Oil/SourCrudeMSDS.txt (5 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:34:41]


file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/DATA/QA%20Amendments/MSDS/Black%20Oil/SourCrudeMSDS.txt

conjunctivitis, sensitivity to light, tearing and clouding of vision. Inhalation


of low concentrations causes a runny nose with a loss of sense of smell, labored
breathing and shortness of breath. Direct contact with skin causes pain and
redness. Other symptoms of exposure include profuse salivation, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, giddiness, headache, dizziness, confusion, rapid breathing,
rapid heart rate, sweating, weakness, sudden collapse, unconsciousness and death
due to respiratory paralysis.Cardiac neurological effects have also been
reported. Prolonged breathing (greater than one hour) of concentrations of H2S
around 50 ppm can produce eye and respiratory tract irritation. Levels of 250 to
600 ppm will result in fluid in the lungs, and concentrations around 1,000 ppm
will cause unconsciousness and death in a short period oftime. Since the sense
of smell rapidly becomes insensitive to this toxic, colorless gas, odor cannot
be relied upon as an indicator of concentrations of the gas. Always exercise
caution when working around closed containers.

Aspiration of this product into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonia and can
be fatal. Aspiration into the lungs can occur while vomiting after ingestion of
this product.

Crude oils contain small, variable amounts of Benzene. Acute toxicity of benzene
results primarily from depression of the central nervous system (CNS).
Inhalation of concentrations over 50 ppm can produce headache,
lassitude,weariness, dizziness, drowsiness, or excitation. Exposure to very high
levels can result in unconsciousness and death. Long-term overexposure to
benzene has been associated with certain types of leukemia in humans. In
addition, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the National
Toxicology Program, and OSHA consider benzene to be a human carcinogen. Chronic
exposures to benzene at levels of 100 ppm and below have been reported to cause
adverse blood effects including anemia. Benzene exposure can occur by inhalation
and absorption through the skin. Inhalation and forced feeding studies of
benzene in laboratory animals have produced a carcinogenic response in a variety
of organs, including possibly leukemia, other adverse effects on the
blood,chromosomal changes and some effects on the immune system. Exposure to
benzene at levels up to 300 ppm did not produce birth defects in animal studies;
however, exposure to the higher dosage levels (greater than 100 ppm) resulted in
a reduction of body weight of the rat pups (fetotoxicity). Changes in the testes
have been observed in mice exposed to benzene at 300 ppm, but reproductive
performance was not altered in rats exposed to benzene at the same level.

_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, or coughing, remove to fresh air. If
symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:
Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air
and medical assistance obtained without delay.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with H2S may reasonably be anticipated, should
be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.

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

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My...s/MSDS/Black%20Oil/Straight-Run%20Gas%20Oil.htm (2 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:34:47]


Sheet No: STI2214 Material Name: Straight-Run Gas Oil

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.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.
In the event of spillage, remove all sources of ignition and ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
Clean up spilled material immediately.
Contain and recover spilled material using sand or other suitable inert absorbent material.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorised by the appropriate
government/regulatory authorities.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.

In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.


_________________________________________________________________________________

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My...s/MSDS/Black%20Oil/Straight-Run%20Gas%20Oil.htm (3 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:34:47]


Sheet No: STI2214 Material Name: Straight-Run Gas Oil

Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

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.
Confined spaces contaminated with hydrogen sulphide must always be considered as constituting potentially life
threatening environments. Entry into such spaces must never be undertaken except under extreme emergency when
no alternative is possible and then only by trained operators wearing air-supplied breathing apparatus of an approved
type and following procedures strictly in accordance with the Statutory Regulations governing such entry. Please see
the comments in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) of this data sheet.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with hydrogen sulphide may be reasonably
anticipated, should be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Handling Precautions
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
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.
Will present a flammability hazard if heated above flash point but bulk liquids at normal storage temperatures will
present virtually no fire hazard. If fuel contacts hot surfaces, or leaks from high pressure fuel pipes, the vapour and/or
mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.

ACGIH (USA): TLV 10 ppm (8 hr TWA); 15ppm (15 min STEL)

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My...s/MSDS/Black%20Oil/Straight-Run%20Gas%20Oil.htm (4 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:34:47]


Sheet No: STI2214 Material Name: Straight-Run Gas Oil

Protective Clothing
Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur.
If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.
Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered and
preferably starched after use.

Respiratory Protection
If operations are such that the excessive generation of vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, to which operators
may unavoidably be exposed, then suitable approved respiratory equipment should be worn. Note: Approved air-
supplied breathing apparatus must be worn where there may be potential for inhalation of hydrogen sulphide gas.
The use of respiratory equipment must be strictly in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and any statutory
requirements governing its selection and use.

OTHER TOXICITY DATA:


Specific toxicity tests have not been conducted on this product. Our hazard
evaluation is based on information from similar products, the ingredients,
technical literature, and/or professional experience.

Crude oil is a naturally occurring complex mixture of hydrocarbons whose exact


composition and physical properties can vary widely depending upon its source.

SKIN: Repeated or prolonged contact may result in defatting, oil acne, redness,
itching, inflammation, cracking and possible secondary infections.

From skin-painting studies in laboratory animals, it has been concluded that


most, if not all, petroleum crudes, regardless of source, possess carcinogenic
activity to some degree. This means that workers who practice poor personal
hygiene and who are repeatedly exposed by direct skin contact to crude oil over
many years may potentially be at risk of developing skin cancer. However,
intermittent or occasional skin contact with petroleum crude oils is not
expected to have serious health effects as long as good personal hygiene
measures such as those outlined in this material safety data sheet are followed.
Crude oil has not been identified as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC or OSHA.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas may accumulate in storage tanks of bulk transport
compartments containing this material. Contact with eyes causes painful
conjunctivitis, sensitivity to light, tearing and clouding of vision. Inhalation
of low concentrations causes a runny nose with a loss of sense of smell, labored

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...Amendments/MSDS/Black%20Oil/SweetCrudeMSDS.txt (5 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:34:51]


file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/DATA/QA%20Amendments/MSDS/Black%20Oil/SweetCrudeMSDS.txt

breathing and shortness of breath. Direct contact with skin causes pain and
redness. Other symptoms of exposure include profuse salivation, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, giddiness, headache, dizziness, confusion, rapid breathing,
rapid heart rate, sweating, weakness, sudden collapse, unconsciousness and death
due to respiratory paralysis.Cardiac neurological effects have also been
reported. Prolonged breathing (greater than one hour) of concentrations of H2S
around 50 ppm can produce eye and respiratory tract irritation. Levels of 250 to
600 ppm will result in fluid in the lungs, and concentrations around 1,000 ppm
will cause unconsciousness and death in a short period oftime. Since the sense
of smell rapidly becomes insensitive to this toxic, colorless gas, odor cannot
be relied upon as an indicator of concentrations of the gas. Always exercise
caution when working around closed containers.

Aspiration of this product into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonia and can
be fatal. Aspiration into the lungs can occur while vomiting after ingestion of
this product.

Crude oils contain small, variable amounts of Benzene. Acute toxicity of benzene
results primarily from depression of the central nervous system (CNS).
Inhalation of concentrations over 50 ppm can produce headache,
lassitude,weariness, dizziness, drowsiness, or excitation. Exposure to very high
levels can result in unconsciousness and death. Long-term overexposure to
benzene has been associated with certain types of leukemia in humans. In
addition, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the National
Toxicology Program, and OSHA consider benzene to be a human carcinogen. Chronic
exposures to benzene at levels of 100 ppm and below have been reported to cause
adverse blood effects including anemia. Benzene exposure can occur by inhalation
and absorption through the skin. Inhalation and forced feeding studies of
benzene in laboratory animals have produced a carcinogenic response in a variety
of organs, including possibly leukemia, other adverse effects on the
blood,chromosomal changes and some effects on the immune system. Exposure to
benzene at levels up to 300 ppm did not produce birth defects in animal studies;
however, exposure to the higher dosage levels (greater than 100 ppm) resulted in
a reduction of body weight of the rat pups (fetotoxicity). Changes in the testes
have been observed in mice exposed to benzene at 300 ppm, but reproductive
performance was not altered in rats exposed to benzene at the same level.

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
This product can be delivered, stored and used at temperatures above 100°C.
Contact with hot product may cause burns.
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.
_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Cold product - Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical
advice if any pain or redness develops or persists.
Hot product - Flood with water to dissipate heat. In the event of any product remaining, do not try to remove it other
than by continued irrigation with water. Obtain medical attention immediately.

Skin
Cold Product - Wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash underlying skin
as soon as reasonably practicable.
Hot Product - Flood skin with cold water to dissipate heat, cover with clean cotton or gauze, obtain medical advice
immediately.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, or coughing, remove to fresh air. If
symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:
Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air
and medical assistance obtained without delay.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Where skin burns occur the area should be immediately immersed in cold water until the bitumen is thoroughly cooled.
Do not attempt to remove the bitumen from the skin as it provides an airtight sterile covering over the burn which will
eventually fall away with the scab as the burn heals. If for any reason the bitumen must be removed, this can be done
using a slightly warmed medicinal liquid paraffin. Kerosene and other solvents should never be used. All burns should
receive medical attention. It should be noted that bitumen contracts on cooling and where a limb is encased care
should be taken to avoid the development of a tourniquet effect.
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.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Water may be used to cool nearby heat exposed areas/objects/packages. Avoid spraying directly into storage
containers because of the danger of boil-over.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
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 material and remove remainder with sand or other suitable inert absorbent material.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
The product may sink making recovery difficult.
In the case of large spills contact the appropriate authorities.
_________________________________________________________________________________

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Handling Precautions
Contact with hot product may cause burns.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Avoid skin contact.
Good working practices, high standards of personal hygiene and plant cleanliness must be maintained at all times.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
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 or other skin conditions of a serious or irreversible nature.
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.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.

Fire Prevention
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.
Product should not be over heated in storage because of the risk of fire.

Storage Conditions
Store under cover away from moisture and sources of ignition. Do not overheat in storage.
Under no circumstances should water be allowed to contact hot product because of the danger of boil-over. Particular

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...%20Residue%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 7) [29/01/2002 08:34:59]


Sheet No: STI2210 Material Name: Vacuum Residue Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/09/98 Page:

care should be taken to ensure that bulk storage tanks are watertight and that any steam heating coils are regularly
checked for leaks.
For bulk product, the storage temperature should not fluctuate above and below 100 deg C as this increases the risk of
water condensation leading to boil-over. Care must always be exercised when heating product through 100 deg C.
Highly toxic hydrogen sulphide gas may be emitted from hot product and accumulate in enclosed spaces or tanks.
Extreme care must therefore be taken during venting of tanks and enclosed spaces which have at any time contained
hot product. Under no circumstances should entry be made into small enclosures without taking full precautions.
Confined spaces contaminated with hydrogen sulphide must always be considered as constituting potentially life
threatening environments. Entry into such spaces must never be undertaken except under extreme emergency when
no alternative is possible and then only by trained operators wearing air-supplied breathing apparatus of an approved
type and following procedures strictly in accordance with the Statutory Regulations governing such entry. Please see
the comments in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) of this data sheet.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with hydrogen sulphide may be reasonably
anticipated, should be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.
Pyrophoric (self-heating) deposits, which may cause fire or explosion, may be formed in storage. Avoid exposure of
tank vapour space to fresh air, and maintain stable storage temperatures. Regular inspection for such deposits will
indicate when tank cleaning is necessary.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
Ensure good ventilation.
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.
Relevant exposure limits are:
Asphalt (petroleum) fumes
ACGIH (USA): TLV 0.5 mg/m3 (8 hr TWA) benzene-soluble aerosol
A4 - Not classifiable as a human carcinogen
Hydrogen sulphide
ACGIH (USA): TLV 10 ppm (8 hr TWA); 15ppm (15 min STEL)

Protective Clothing
When handling hot product, suitable protective clothing of an appropriate standard should be worn. Depending on the
type of operation this may include:
- Visor to protect the face and head covering with neck flap.
- Gauntlets (heat resistant and impervious to bitumen)
- Overalls, impervious to bitumen, covering full body and limbs with legs worn over boots.
- Protective boots.
Protective clothing should be regularly dry cleaned. Change heavily contaminated clothing as soon as reasonably
practicable; dry clean, launder and preferably starch before re-use. Wash any contaminated underlying skin with soap
and water.

Respiratory Protection
If operations are such that the excessive generation of vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, to which operators
may unavoidably be exposed, then suitable approved respiratory equipment should be worn. Note: Approved air-
supplied breathing apparatus must be worn where there may be potential for inhalation of hydrogen sulphide gas.
The use of respiratory equipment must be strictly in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and any statutory
requirements governing its selection and use.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...DATA/QA%20Amendments/MSDS/Gas/BP%20Butane.htm (1 of 6) [29/01/2002 08:47:11]


Sheet No: SUK2108 Date: 09/01/98 Revision of Sheet Dated: 01/09/94 (FLBU01) Name of Product: BP Butane

Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water. Obtain IMMEDIATE medical attention.

Skin
If cold burns are present drench with water and obtain immediate medical advice.
Keep contaminated clothes away from ignition sources.

Inhalation
If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or throat,
remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
__________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
These materials are delivered, stored and used at temperatures above their flash point. Avoid all naked flames, sparks,
cigarettes, etc.
IN CASE OF FIRE, IMMEDIATELY ALERT THE FIRE BRIGADE.
Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
If gas has ignited, do not attempt to extinguish but stop gas flow and allow to burn out. Use water spray to cool heat-
exposed containers, and to protect surrounding areas and personnel effecting shut-off.
Every precaution must be taken to keep containers cool to avoid the possibility of a boiling liquid expanding vapour
explosion (BLEVE).
Pressurised containers are liable to explode violently when subjected to high temperatures.

Combustion Products
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
__________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
If a leak has not ignited, stop gas flow, isolate sources of ignition and evacuate personnel.
Ensure good ventilation.
Liquid leaks generate large volumes of flammable vapour, heavier than air, which may travel to remote sources of ignition
(eg. along drainage systems).
Where appropriate, use water spray to disperse the gas or vapour and to protect personnel attempting to stop leakage.
Vapour may collect in any confined space.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable atmosphere is
present before entry.
Do not enter a vapour cloud except for rescue; self-contained breathing apparatus must be worn.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
In the event of a leak, contact the appropriate authorities.
Small quantities of spilled liquid may be allowed to evaporate. Vapour should be dispersed by effective ventilation.

Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.

Harmful if swallowed - aspiration hazard.
This material may contain significant quantities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PCAs), some of which have been
shown by experimental studies to induce skin cancer.
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, or coughing, remove to fresh air. If
symptoms persist obtain medical advice.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.

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.

Sheet No: STI2101 Material Name: Automotive Diesel Fuel Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.
In the event of spillage, remove all sources of ignition and ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
Clean up spilled material immediately.
Contain and recover spilled material using sand or other suitable inert absorbent material.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorised by the appropriate
government/regulatory authorities.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.

In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...esel%20Fuel%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 7) [29/01/2002 08:50:58]


Sheet No: STI2101 Material Name: Automotive Diesel Fuel Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.


Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
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.
Will present a flammability hazard if heated above flash point but bulk liquids at normal storage temperatures will
present virtually no fire hazard. If fuel contacts hot surfaces, or leaks from high pressure fuel pipes, the vapour and/or
mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
There is no appropriate occupational exposure limit for this material.
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.

Protective Clothing
Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur.
If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.
Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered and
preferably starched after use.

Respiratory Protection
If operations are such that exposure to vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, then suitable approved respiratory
equipment should be worn.
The use of respiratory equipment must be strictly in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and any statutory
requirements governing its selection and use.

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water
ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
In extreme situations of saturation with this product
drench with water
remove clothing as soon as possible and wash skin with soap and water. Seek medical advice if skin becomes red
swollen or painful.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs
wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act
the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur
do not induce vomiting
obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If exposure to vapour
mists or fumes causes drowsiness
headache
blurred vision or irritation of the eyes
nose or throat
remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents
and can cause severe and potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis
which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration
induction of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after
endotracheal intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...1%%20Lead)%20Issue%20Date%20%2019-06-2000.htm (3 of 10) [29/01/2002 08:51:08]


Sheet No: SAV2104 Material Name: Avgas 100/130 (>0.1% Lead) Issue Date : 19/06/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:30/03/98 Page

For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam
dry powder or water fog. DO NOT use water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity
Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems
in basements etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space
ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe
breathable atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
section 8
of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water
prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover product from the surface. Protect
environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.
_________________________________________________________________________________

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling
storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...1%%20Lead)%20Issue%20Date%20%2019-06-2000.htm (4 of 10) [29/01/2002 08:51:08]


Sheet No: SAV2104 Material Name: Avgas 100/130 (>0.1% Lead) Issue Date : 19/06/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:30/03/98 Page

atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.
Special health precautions must be taken during cleaning or maintenance operations on storage tanks which may
have contained leaded product at any time.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours
mists or fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour
mists or fumes are generated
their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut
weld
solder or braze empty containers.

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
In extreme situations of saturation with this product, drench with water, remove clothing as soon as possible and wash
skin with soap and water. Seek medical advice if skin becomes red, swollen or painful.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...igh%20Lead)%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (2 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:51:24]


Sheet No: STI2115 Material Name: Aviation Gasoline (High Lead) Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

Inhalation
If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or
throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT use water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.
Special health precautions must be taken during cleaning or maintenance operations on storage tanks which may
have contained leaded product at any time.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.
Comply with current local occupational exposure limit. Where not established, the following limits are recommended.

Sheet No: STI2114 Material Name: Aviation Gasoline (Low Lead) Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or
throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT use water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

Sheet No: STI2114 Material Name: Aviation Gasoline (Low Lead) Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.
Special health precautions must be taken during cleaning or maintenance operations on storage tanks which may
have contained leaded product at any time.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling
storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours
mists or fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour
mists or fumes are generated
their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
When the product is pumped (e.g. during filling

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...20Oil/Avtag%20Issue%20Date%20%2019-06-2000.htm (4 of 9) [29/01/2002 08:51:41]

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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut
weld
solder or braze empty containers.

Sheet No: SAV2108 Material Name: Bolivian Avgas 100 Issue Date : 14/05/2001 Revision of Sheet Dated: Page

Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling
storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.
Special health precautions must be taken during cleaning or maintenance operations on storage tanks which may
have contained leaded product at any time.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours
mists or fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour
mists or fumes are generated
their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat
drink or smoke.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut
weld
solder or braze empty containers.

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
In extreme situations of saturation with this product, drench with water, remove clothing as soon as possible and wash
skin with soap and water. Seek medical advice if skin becomes red, swollen or painful.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...(Singapore)%20Issue%20Date%20%2004-30-2001.htm (2 of 9) [29/01/2002 08:51:48]


GLIS No: SALB2101a Material Name: BP Unleaded Gasoline (Singapore) Issue Date : 04/30/2001 : Page::

Inhalation
If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or
throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT use water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...%20Gasoline%20Issue%20Date%20%2004-30-2001.htm (2 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:51:52]


GLIS No: SALB2101 Material Name: BP Unleaded Gasoline Issue Date : 04/30/2001 : Page::

failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT use water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.
_________________________________________________________________________________

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...%20Gasoline%20Issue%20Date%20%2004-30-2001.htm (3 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:51:52]


GLIS No: SALB2101 Material Name: BP Unleaded Gasoline Issue Date : 04/30/2001 : Page::

Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

C. PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY AND EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

EYE CONTACT
If splashed into the eyes, flush with clear water for 15 minutes or until
irritation subsides. If irritation persists, call a physician.

SKIN
In case of skin contact, remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin
with soap and water. Launder or dry-clean clothing before reuse. If
product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body,
regardless of the appearance of the wound or its size, the individual
should be evaluated immediately by a physician as a surgical emergency.
Even though initial symptoms from high pressure injection may be minimal
or absent, early surgical treatment within the first few hours may
significantly reduce the ultimate extent of injury.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA AND FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES


Foam, water spray (fog), dry chemical, carbon dioxide and vaporizing
liquid type extinguishing agents may all be suitable for extinguishing
fires involving this type of product, depending on size or potential size
of fire and circumstances related to the situation. Plan fire protection
and response strategy through consultation with local fire protection
authorities or appropriate specialists.

The following procedures for this type of product are based on the

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/condensate.htm (3 of 14) [29/01/2002 08:53:31]


file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/DATA/QA%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/condensate.htm

recommendations in the National Fire Protection Association's "Fire


Protection Guide on Hazardous Materials", Tenth Edition (1991):

Use dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide to extinguish the fire. "Water
may be ineffective", but water should be used to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. If a leak or spill has ignited, use water spray to
disperse the vapors and to protect persons attempting to stop a leak.
Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures. Minimize
breathing of gases, vapor, fumes or decomposition products. Use
supplied-air breathing equipment for enclosed or confined spaces or as
otherwise needed.

NOTE: The inclusion of the phrase "water may be ineffective" is to


indicate that although water can be used to cool and protect exposed
material, water may not extinguish the fire unless used under favorable
conditions by experienced fire fighters trained in fighting all types of
flammable liquid fires.

DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS


Fumes, smoke, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, hydrogen sulfide, aldehydes
and other decomposition products, in the case of incomplete combustion.

"EMPTY" CONTAINER WARNING


"Empty" containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be
dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR
EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR
OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.

Do not attempt to refill or clean containers since residue is difficult to


remove. "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and
promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. All other containers should be
disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with
governmental regulations.

For work on tanks refer to Occupational Safety and Health Administration


regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other governmental and industrial references
pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or other contemplated
operations.

E. HEALTH AND HAZARD INFORMATION

VARIABILITY AMONG INDIVIDUALS


Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons pose potential
human health risks which may vary from person to person. As a precaution,
exposure to liquids, vapors, mists or fumes should be minimized.

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE (Signs and symptoms of exposure)

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/condensate.htm (4 of 14) [29/01/2002 08:53:31]


file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/DATA/QA%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/condensate.htm

High vapor concentrations (greater than approximately 1000 ppm) are


irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract, and may cause headaches,
dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and other central
nervous system effects, including death.

Prolonged or repeated liquid contact with the skin will dry and defat the
skin, leading to possible irritation and dermatitis.

NATURE OF HAZARD AND TOXICITY INFORMATION


Prolonged or repeated skin contact with this product tends to remove skin
oils, possibly leading to irritation and dermatitis; however, based on
human experience and available toxicological data, this product is judged
to be neither a "corrosive" nor an "irritant" by OSHA criteria.

Product contacting the eyes may cause eye irritation.

Condensate may contain benzene, CAS No. 71-43-2, as a natural constituent.

Benzene can cause anemia and other blood diseases, including leukemia
(cancer of the blood-forming system) after prolonged or repeated exposures
at high concentrations (e.g. 50-500 ppm). It has also caused fetal defects
in tests on laboratory animals.

Contains light hydrocarbon components similar to gasoline. Lifetime


studies by the American Petroleum Institute have shown that kidney damage
and kidney cancer can occur in male rats after prolonged inhalation
exposures at elevated concentrations of total gasoline. Kidneys of mice
and female rats were unaffected. The U.S. EPA Risk Assessment Forum has
concluded that the male rat kidney tumor results are not relevant for
humans. Total gasoline exposure also produced liver tumors in female mice,
only. The implication of this data for humans has not been determined.
Certain components, such as normal hexane, may also affect the nervous
system at high concentrations (e.g., 1000-1500 ppm).

The presence of n-hexane in this product as a natural constituent


represents a distinct hazard of producing peripheral polyneuropathy, a
progressive disorder of the nervous system, which, with sufficient high
exposure, has the potential of becoming irreversible. This disorder has
been observed in individuals exposed repeatedly to high vapor
concentrations (1000-1500 ppm) of n-hexane over a period of several
months. Exposure to this product should be controlled to keep the maximum
level below 100 ppm, which will result in n-hexane exposure of 50 ppm or
less. The OSHA 8-hour Time Weighted Average-Permissible Exposure Limit
(TWA-PEL) is 50 ppm for n-hexane.

Simultaneous exposure to the vapors of n-hexane and methyl ethyl ketone


(MEK) or to n-hexane and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) increases the risk

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/condensate.htm (5 of 14) [29/01/2002 08:53:31]


file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/DATA/QA%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/condensate.htm

of adverse effects from n-hexane. Evidence in laboratory animals and


humans indicates that in the presence of MEK or MIBK, the neuropathy
associated with n-hexane is produced in a shorter time or at lower
exposure concentrations. This interaction has been reported when the
exposure to n-hexane is below the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) limit of 50 ppm and MEK is below the ACGIH
limit of 200 ppm or when MIBK is below the ACGIH limit of 50 ppm.

Lifetime skin painting studies conducted by the American Petroleum


Institute, Exxon and others have shown that untreated naphthas and
distillates in the same boiling range as this product usually produced
skin tumors and/or skin cancer in laboratory mice. The degree of
carcinogenic response was weak to moderate with a relatively long latent
period. The implications of these results for humans have not been
determined.

Limited studies on oils of very active carcinogens have shown that washing
the animals' skin with soap and water between applications greatly reduces
tumor formation.

Potential risks to humans can be minimized by observing good work


practices and personal hygiene procedures generally recommended for
petroleum products. (See Section I for recommended protection and
precautions.)

Product has a low order of acute oral and dermal toxicity, but minute
amounts aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause
mild to severe pulmonary injury and possibly death.

This product is judged to have an acute oral LD50 (rat) greater than 5
g/kg of body weight, and an acute dermal LD50 (rabbit) greater than 3.16
g/kg of body weight.

Concentrated, prolonged or deliberate inhalation of this product may cause


brain and nervous system damage. Prolonged and repeated exposure of
pregnant animals to high levels of toluene (levels greater than
approximately 1500 ppm) has been reported to cause adverse fetal
developmental effects. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value for toluene is 50 ppm (188 mg/m3)
as a Time Weighted Average for an 8-hour workday.

PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE


Benzene - Individuals with liver disease may be more susceptible to toxic
effects.

Hexane - Individuals with neurological disease should avoid exposure.

The following information is intended to assist the reader in


understanding the format and the material included in Exxon's Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

A. IDENTIFICATION AND EMERGENCY INFORMATION

This section includes the product name and category. Additional


information about components and CAS numbers is shown in Section B. The
"Product Code" is Exxon's internal product identification number. "Product
Appearance and Odor" includes a physical description of the product.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER - Exxon's 24-hour telephone number is


intended only for medical-related emergencies. After normal business hours
the caller should leave a short description of the emergency and the call
back number. The Exxon medical staff person on duty will respond as soon
as possible, normally within a few minutes. Routine MSDS questions should
be directed to Marketing Technical Services (713) 656-5949 during normal
business hours.

B. COMPONENTS AND HAZARD INFORMATION

COMPONENTS - The chemical or common names of the major constituents are


listed along with names of any ingredients believed to be health or
physical hazards and which are present in the product at a concentration
of 1% or more. Health effects and presence of carcinogens (at 0.1% or
greater) are discussed in Section E. The major constituents of most
petroleum products are refined petroleum fractions as defined in the
Inventory of Chemical Substances under the Toxic Substances Control Act. A
statement of U.S. TSCA inventory listing of components may be found in
this section.

CAS NUMBERS OF COMPONENTS - These are the Chemical Abstracts Service


Registry Numbers (CAS identification numbers) which are assigned to
individual component chemicals by the Chemical Abstracts Service, when
applicable. Some ingredients, particularly additives, are complex mixtures
to which single CAS numbers may not apply or for which detailed
composition information may not be available.

APPROXIMATE CONCENTRATION - This is the approximate concentration of the


component(s) in the product. In some cases, particularly where details are
proprietary, the total amount of several components is shown.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/condensate.htm (12 of 14) [29/01/2002 08:53:31]

has not been established. For vapors, exposure limits are expressed in
parts per million (ppm) and in milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) of vapor
in air. For mists and fumes the limit is given in mg/m3. As noted in the
preface to published values adopted by the ACGIH, TLVs represent
"conditions under which it is believed that nearly all workers may be
repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse effect. Because of wide
variation in individual susceptibility, however, a small percentage of
workers may experience discomfort from some substances at concentrations
at or below the threshold limit; a smaller percentage may be affected more
seriously by aggravation of a preexisting condition or by development of
an occupational illness".

C. PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY AND EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

EYE CONTACT - SKIN - INHALATION - INGESTION - These are primary routes of


entry along with recommended emergency and first aid procedures if an
individual is overexposed to the product.

D. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD INFORMATION

EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:
Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air
and medical assistance obtained without delay.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with H2S may reasonably be anticipated, should
be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
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

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.
In the event of spillage, remove all sources of ignition and ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
Clean up spilled material immediately.
Contain and recover spilled material using sand or other suitable inert absorbent material.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorised by the appropriate
government/regulatory authorities.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.

In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...Gas%20Oils%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:53:42]


Sheet No: STI2212 Material Name: Cracked Gas Oils Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:16/09/98 Page:

Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

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.
Confined spaces contaminated with hydrogen sulphide must always be considered as constituting potentially life
threatening environments. Entry into such spaces must never be undertaken except under extreme emergency when
no alternative is possible and then only by trained operators wearing air-supplied breathing apparatus of an approved
type and following procedures strictly in accordance with the Statutory Regulations governing such entry. Please see
the comments in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) of this data sheet.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with hydrogen sulphide may be reasonably
anticipated, should be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Handling Precautions
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
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.
Will present a flammability hazard if heated above flash point but bulk liquids at normal storage temperatures will
present virtually no fire hazard. If fuel contacts hot surfaces, or leaks from high pressure fuel pipes, the vapour and/or
mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.
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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/DATA/QA%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/Diesel%202.htm

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE

Acute:

Eyes: May cause irritation, experienced as mild discomfort and seen as


slight excess redness of the eye.

Skin:

Causes irritation with discomfort or pain, and seen as marked local


redness and swelling, with possible blister formation.

Other than the potential skin irritation effects noted above, acute (short
term) adverse effects are not expected from brief skin contact; see other
effects, below, and Section 11 for information regarding potential long
term effects.

Prolonged, widespread, or repeated skin contact may result in the


absorption of potentially harmful amounts of material.

Inhalation:

Vapors or mist may cause irritation of the nose and throat.

Inhalation may cause dizziness, drowsiness, euphoria, loss of


coordination, disorientation, headache, nausea, and vomiting. In poorly
ventilated areas or confined spaces, unconsciousness and asphyxiation may
result. Prolonged or repeated overexposure may result in the absorption of
potentially harmful amounts of material.

Ingestion: If more than several mouthfuls are swallowed, abdominal


discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea may occur. Aspiration may occur during
swallowing or vomiting resulting in lung damage.

Sensitization Properties: Unknown.

Chronic:

NIOSH has recommended that whole diesel exhaust be regarded as a potential


occupational carcinogen, based on findings of carcinogenic responses in
laboratory animals exposed to whole diesel exhaust. The excess cancer risk
for workers exposed to diesel exhaust has not been calculated; the
probability of developing cancer should be decreased by minimizing
exposure to the lowest feasible limits.

Repeated skin contact may cause a persistent irritation or dermatitis.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/Diesel%202.htm (5 of 16) [29/01/2002 08:53:49]


file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/DATA/QA%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/Diesel%202.htm

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Skin contact may aggravate an


existing dermatitis (skin condition).

Other Remarks: None

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Hold eyelids apart while flushing to rinse entire surface of eye and lids
with water. Get medical attention.

Skin: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Under a safety


shower, flush skin thoroughly with large amounts of running water for at
least 15 minutes. Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Get
medical attention immediately. Discard or decontaminate clothing and shoes
before reuse.

Ingestion: If person is conscious and can swallow, give two glasses of


water (16 oz.) but do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give fluids
again. Have medical personnel determine if evacuation of stomach or
induction of vomiting is necessary. Do not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious or convulsing person.

Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, clear


person's airway and give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, qualified medical personnel may administer oxygen. Get medical
attention immediately.

Other Instructions:

Remove and dry-clean or launder clothing soaked or soiled with this


material before reuse. Dry cleaning of contaminated clothing may be more
effective than normal laundering. Inform individuals responsible for
cleaning of potential hazards associated with handling contaminated
clothing.

Aspiration of this product during induced emesis may result in severe lung
injury. If evacuation of stomach is necessary, use method least likely to
cause aspiration, such as gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation.
Contact a Poison Center for additional treatment information.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to the
safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank atmosphere
has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability limit and an
oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to effect a
quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
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.
Ensure equipment is electrically bonded and earthed to prevent static accumulation.
Product soaked 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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never cut,
weld, solder or braze empty containers.
__________________________________________________________________________________
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Limits
Comply with current local occupational exposure limit.
Protective Clothing
Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur.
If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.
Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered and preferably
starched after use.

Sheet No: STI2102 Material Name: Gasoline: Leaded Grades Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT use water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...d%20Grades%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:54:03]


Sheet No: STI2102 Material Name: Gasoline: Leaded Grades Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:02/11/98 Page:

the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.


Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.
Special health precautions must be taken during cleaning or maintenance operations on storage tanks which may
have contained leaded product at any time.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.
Comply with current local occupational exposure limit. Where not established, the following limits are recommended.

atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.

_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
In extreme situations of saturation with this product, drench with water, remove clothing as soon as possible and wash
skin with soap and water. Seek medical advice if skin becomes red, swollen or painful.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or
throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:
Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air
and medical assistance obtained without delay.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with H2S may reasonably be anticipated, should
be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.

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

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...0Condensate%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (2 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:54:10]

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.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...0Condensate%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:54:10]


Sheet No: STI2213 Material Name: Hydrocarbon Condensate Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:17/09/98 Page:

Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

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.
Confined spaces contaminated with hydrogen sulphide must always be considered as constituting potentially life
threatening environments. Entry into such spaces must never be undertaken except under extreme emergency when
no alternative is possible and then only by trained operators wearing air-supplied breathing apparatus of an approved
type and following procedures strictly in accordance with the Statutory Regulations governing such entry. Please see
the comments in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) of this data sheet.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with hydrogen sulphide may be reasonably
anticipated, should be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Harmful if swallowed - aspiration hazard.
This material may contain significant quantities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PCAs), some of which have been
shown by experimental studies to induce skin cancer.
Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.
Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation to the nose or throat, or coughing, remove to fresh air. If
symptoms persist obtain medical advice.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.
In the event of spillage, remove all sources of ignition and ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
Clean up spilled material immediately.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...Gas%20Oils%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (2 of 7) [29/01/2002 08:54:13]


Sheet No: STI2221 Material Name: Hydrocracked Gas Oils Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:11/09/98 Page:

Contain and recover spilled material using sand or other suitable inert absorbent material.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorised by the appropriate
government/regulatory authorities.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.

In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Use disposable cloths and discard when soiled. Do not put soiled cloths into pockets.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
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.
Will present a flammability hazard if heated above flash point but bulk liquids at normal storage temperatures will
present virtually no fire hazard. If fuel contacts hot surfaces, or leaks from high pressure fuel pipes, the vapour and/or

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...Gas%20Oils%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 7) [29/01/2002 08:54:13]


Sheet No: STI2221 Material Name: Hydrocracked Gas Oils Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:11/09/98 Page:

mists generated will create a flammability or explosion hazard.


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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
There is no appropriate occupational exposure limit for this material.
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.

Protective Clothing
Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur.
If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.
Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered and
preferably starched after use.

Respiratory Protection
If operations are such that exposure to vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, then suitable approved respiratory
equipment should be worn.

Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If fumes are inhaled the patient should be removed to fresh air and if recovery is not immediate, medical assistance
must be called without delay. If breathing has failed respiration must be assisted, preferably by mouth to mouth
method.

Medical Advice
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.

It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorised by the appropriate
government/regulatory authorities.

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE

Acute:

Eyes: May cause irritation, experienced as mild discomfort and seen as


slight excess redness of the eye.

Skin:

Causes irritation with discomfort or pain, and seen as marked local


redness and swelling, with possible blister formation.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...MSDS/White%20Oil/Low%20Sulfur%20Diesel%202.htm (3 of 15) [29/01/2002 08:54:25]


file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/D...A%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/Low%20Sulfur%20Diesel%202.htm

Other than the potential skin irritation effects noted above, acute (short
term) adverse effects are not expected from brief skin contact; see other
effects, below, and Section 11 for information regarding potential long
term effects.

Prolonged, widespread, or repeated skin contact may result in the


absorption of potentially harmful amounts of material.

Inhalation:

Vapors or mist may cause irritation of the nose and throat.

Inhalation may cause dizziness, drowsiness, euphoria, loss of


coordination, disorientation, headache, nausea, and vomiting. In poorly
ventilated areas or confined spaces, unconsciousness and asphyxiation may
result. Prolonged or repeated overexposure may result in the absorption of
potentially harmful amounts of material.

Ingestion: If more than several mouthfuls are swallowed, abdominal


discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea may occur. Aspiration may occur during
swallowing or vomiting resulting in lung damage.

Sensitization Properties: Unknown.

Chronic:

NIOSH has recommended that whole diesel exhaust be regarded as a potential


occupational carcinogen, based on findings of carcinogenic responses in
laboratory animals exposed to whole diesel exhaust. The excess cancer risk
for workers exposed to diesel exhaust has not been calculated; the
probability of developing cancer should be decreased by minimizing
exposure to the lowest feasible limits.

Repeated skin contact may cause a persistent irritation or dermatitis.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Skin contact may aggravate an


existing dermatitis (skin condition).

Other Remarks: None

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

water (16 oz.) but do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give fluids
again. Have medical personnel determine if evacuation of stomach or
induction of vomiting is necessary. Do not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious or convulsing person.

Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, clear


person's airway and give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, qualified medical personnel may administer oxygen. Get medical
attention immediately.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable atmosphere is
present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover product
from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.

Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to the
safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank atmosphere
has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability limit and an
oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to effect a
quick rescue.
Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or fumes
which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air
should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.

greater but less than 5). ---Based on testing of similar products and/or
the components.

OTHER ACUTE TOXICITY DATA: Inhalation of vapors/mists may cause


respiratory system irritation. H2S acts as a chemical asphyxiant,
preventing the body from utilizing oxygen in the tissue. It can be
irritating to the eyes at 10 ppm and to the respiratory tract at 50-100
ppm after 1-hour exposure. Sufficiently high concentrations can result in
immediate collapse and death.

---CHRONIC TOXICOLOGY (SUMMARY)---


Recent studies with laboratory animals have shown that gasoline vapors
when administered in high concentrations over a prolonged period of time,
caused kidney damage and kidney cancer in rats and liver cancer in mice.
As far as scientists know, low level or infrequent exposure to gasoline
vapors is unlikely to be associated with cancer or other serious diseases
in humans. Prolonged repeated skin contact with low viscosity materials
may defat the skin resulting in possible irritation and dermatitis.

---OTHER TOXICOLOGY DATA---


**** Keep face clear of tank and/or tank car openings. Hydrogen sulfide
(H2S) may collect in the vapor space of tanks or other enclosed vessels.
H2S is an extremely flammable, very highly toxic gas.

Material Safety Data Bulletin

An Explanation of Terms - U.S. Products

Introduction

A Mobil Material Safety Data Bulletin (MSDB), commonly referred to as a


Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), is a compilation of health-related
information, procedures for emergency situations, physical properties, and
recommendations to help assure the safe handling of a particular Mobil
product.

The MSDB meets all of the requirements of the OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). As an additional customer service, we provide
an MSDB for our non-hazardous products as well.

Mobil provides an MSDB upon initial purchase, within 3 months of a


significant change in hazardous product MSDB information, and upon first
purchase each year for products containing a SARA 313 regulated
ingredient. An MSDB may be requested at any time by calling the MSDS
information number indicated in Section 1 of the MSDB. Some MSDBs are
available on the Internet (www.mobil.com).

The following explanations of section contents are provided, ordered as


you will find them within the U.S. MSDB. Please refer to the MSDB as you
go through the following 16 sections which conform to the ANSI Z400.1-1993
standard and international formats.

Section 1. Product and Company Identification

Indicates if MSDB is based on supplier information. Identifies the product


trade name as it appears on the product container; our address and
telephone numbers; and the date the MSDB was last revised. Please use the
Product and MSDS Information phone number to request data regarding
product applications and to obtain an MSDB. The emergency number is for
urgent health, release, and transportation situations. The CHEMTREC number
is for reporting transportation emergencies.

Section 2. Composition/Information on Ingredients

certain concentrations which either have exposure limits or have been


determined to be hazardous by Mobil. The Chemical Abstract Service (CAS)
number and approximate weight percentage is listed for each chemical. The
exposure limits for these chemicals are listed in Section 8 of the MSDB.

Other Potentially Hazardous Ingredients - Lists chemicals present above


certain concentrations which do not have regulatory exposure limits but
which are physical (combustible, flammable, etc.) or health (defat skin,
etc.) hazards. Includes CAS number and approximate weight percentage for
each chemical.

Footnotes - Provides other amplifying information.

Section 3. Hazards Identification

Summarizes key emergency response information including a statement of


whether or not the product is hazardous by the criteria in the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard; effects of overexposure to the product; physical
appearance; unusual fire and explosion hazards; DOT Emergency Response
Guide (ERG) number; and for Mobil use, a numerical Safety Equipment Code
(SEC) which indicates hazard severity for MCC-CPD materials.

Section 4. First Aid Measures

Contains recommended first aid procedures for relevant types of exposure


(e.g., eye contact, skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion). Also includes
notes to treating physicians. The information is for emergency situations
only.

Section 5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Recommends suitable extinguishing media, gives fire fighting instructions


based on criteria established by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), gives advice on any special protective equipment for fire fighters
(such as self-contained breathing apparatus), and identifies any unusual
fire and explosion hazards.

Flash Point - Temperature at which a material will generate sufficient


vapor to ignite in the presence of an ignition source. OSHA classifies a
material with a flash point below 100 Deg. F as flammable, and with a
flash point at or above 100 Deg. F and below 200 Deg. F as combustible.
The DOT defines materials with a flash point of 141 Deg. F or less as
flammable, and with a flash point between 141 Deg. F and below 200 Deg. F
as combustible. Both OSHA and DOT require that flash points be determined
using closed cup methods such as ASTM D-93 or ASTM D-56.

Flammable Limits - The range of gas and vapor concentrations (percent in

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...dments/MSDS/White%20Oil/Natural%20Gasoline.htm (11 of 19) [29/01/2002 08:54:37]


file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/DATA/QA%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/Natural%20Gasoline.htm

air) which will burn in the presence of an ignition source. Flammable


range is expressed as Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and Upper Explosive
Limit (UEL). If the flash point is above 250 Deg. F, no flammable limits
are shown on the MSDB.

NFPA Hazard ID - Coding system developed by the NFPA. Codes of 0 to 4 are

====================== HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ========================

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
-------------------
Clear Liquid With Hydrocarbon Odor. May Be Dyed For Identification.
Danger! Harmful or Fatal If Swallowed. Aspiration Hazard If
Swallowed--Can Enter Lungs and Cause Damage. May Be Irritating To the
Eyes and Respiratory Tract. Causes Skin Irritation. Vapors May Be
Harmful. Possible Cancer Hazard - Contains Material Which May Cause
Cancer Based On Animal Data. Combustible Liquid & Vapor.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:


-------------------------
SKIN:
-----
Repeated or prolonged contact may result in defatting, redness,
itching, inflammation, cracking and possible secondary infection. May
cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Absorption from
prolonged or massive skin contact may cause poisoning. High pressure
skin injections are Serious Medical Emergencies. Injury may not
appear serious at first; within a few hours, tissue will become
swollen, discolored and extremely painful (see Notes to Physician
section).

EYE:
----
Exposure to vapors, fumes or mists may cause irritation.

INHALATION:
-----------
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Exposure may cause central
nervous system symptoms similar to those listed under "Ingestion"
(see Ingestion section). Degenerative changes in the liver, kidneys
and bone marrow may occur with prolonged, high concentrations.
Repeated or prolonged exposures may cause behavioral changes.

INGESTION:
----------
Aspiration into lungs may cause pneumonitis. May cause
gastrointestinal disturbances. Symptoms may include irritation,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause harmful central nervous
system effects. Effects may include excitation, euphoria, headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, fatigue, tremors, convulsions,
loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest and death.

SPECIAL TOXIC EFFECTS:


----------------------
Based on animal studies, repeated overexposure may produce skin
tumors upon repeated and prolonged skin contact in the absence of
good personal hygiene. However, long-term dermal application studies
of similar materials, i.e. middle distillates, in animals have shown
that skin tumors are produced only when marked and prolonged skin
irritation takes place during the study. Therefore, this product
should not present a significant hazard of skin tumor formation when
the "Skin Protection" recommendations are followed. IARC has
determined that diesel engine exhaust is probably carcinogenic to
humans. (IARC Class- 2A). Lifetime exposure to whole diesel exhaust
has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. NIOSH
recommends that whole diesel exhaust be regarded as a potential
occupational carcinogen. Warning: The use of any hydrocarbon fuel in
an area without adequate ventilation may result in hazardous levels
of combustion products and inadequate oxygen levels. IARC has
determined that occupational exposures in petroleum refining are
probably carcinogenic to humans.

======================== FIRST AID MEASURES ==========================

SKIN:
-----
Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash area of contact
thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation
persists. High pressure skin injections are serious medical
emergencies. Thermal burns require immediate medical attention. Get
immediate medical attention.

EYE:
----
Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15
minutes. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeball to ensure
thorough rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Thermal burns require immediate medical attention.

INHALATION:
-----------
Remove affected person from source of exposure. If not breathing,
ensure clear airway and institute cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen if available. After
administration of oxygen, continue to monitor closely. Get medical
attention.

INGESTION:
----------
Do not induce vomiting because of danger of aspirating liquid into
lungs. Get immediate medical attention. If spontaneous vomiting
occurs, monitor for breathing difficulty.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:
-------------------
In case of ingestion, gastric lavage with activated charcoal can be
used promptly to prevent absorption. Consideration should be given to
the use of an endotracheal tube, to prevent aspiration. Individuals
intoxicated by Diesel Fuel No. 2 should be hospitalized immediately,
with acute and continuing attention to neurologic and cardiopulmonary
function. Positive pressure ventilation may be necessary. After the
initial episode, individuals should be followed for changes in blood
variables and the delayed appearance of pulmonary edema and chemical
pneumonitis. Such patients should be followed for several days or
weeks for delayed effects, including bone marrow toxicity, hepatic
and renal impairment. Individuals with chronic pulmonary disease will
be more seriously impaired, and recovery from inhalation exposure may
be complicated. In case of skin injection, prompt debridement of the
wound is necessary to minimize necrosis and tissue loss.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:


------------------------------
Combustion may produce CO, CO2 and reactive hydrocarbons.

BASIC FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:


-------------------------------
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide to extinguish
fire. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers, structures and
to protect personnel. If leak or spill has not ignited, ventilate
area and use water spray to disperse gas or vapor and to protect
personnel attempting to stop leak. Use water to flush spills away
from sources of ignition. Do not flush down public sewers or other
drainage systems. Exposed firefighters must wear MSHA/NIOSH approved
positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus with full face
mask and full protective clothing.

UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS:


---------------------------------
Irritating and/or toxic substances may be emitted upon thermal
decomposition. Dangerous when exposed to heat or flame. Runoff to
sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode in
heat of fire.

==================== ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES =====================

If your facility or operation has an "Oil or Hazardous Substance


Contingency Plan", activate its procedures. Take immediate steps to
stop and contain the spill. Caution should be exercised regarding
personnel safety and exposure to the spilled material. For technical
advice and assistance related to chemicals, contact CHEMTREC
(800/424-9300) and your local fire department. Notify the National
Response Center, if required. Also notify appropriate state and local
regulatory agencies, the LEPC and the SERC. Contact the local Coast
Guard if the release is into a waterway. Keep unnecessary people
away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of
low areas. (Also see Personal Protection Information section.)
Shut off ignition sources; no flares, smoking or flames in hazard
area. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Water spray may reduce
vapor; but it may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. Small
Spills: Take up with sand or other noncombustible absorbent material
and place into containers for later disposal. Large Spills: Dike far
ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.

When reporting a spill to the National Response Center or the Coast


Guard, you may need to supply the Coast Guard Chemical Hazard
Response Information System (CHRIS) code:

11. Toxicological information


Acute toxicity : Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 3800 mg/kg [Rat]. (Benzene).
Acute toxicity of the vapour (LC50): 10000 ppm 4 hours [Rat]. (Benzene).

Benzene: Acute toxicity of benzene results primarily from depression of the central nervous system (CNS). Inhalation of
concentrations over 50 ppm can produce headache, lassitude, weariness, dizziness, drowsiness, or excitation. Exposure to very
high levels can result in unconsciousness and death.
Chronic toxicity : Benzene: Long-term overexposure to benzene has been associated with certain types of leukemia in humans. In addition, the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the National Toxicology Program, and OSHA consider benzene to be a
human carcinogen. Chronic exposures to benzene at levels of 100 ppm and below have been reported to cause adverse blood
effects including anemia. Benzene exposure can occur by inhalation and absorption through the skin.

Inhalation and forced feeding studies of benzene in laboratory animals have produced a carcinogenic response in a variety of
organs, including possibly leukemia, other adverse effects on the blood, chromosomal changes and some effects on the
immune system. Exposure to benzene at levels up to 300 ppm did not produce birth defects in animal studies; however,
exposure to the higher dosage levels (greater than 100 ppm) resulted in a reduction of body weight of the rat pups (fetotoxicity).
Changes in the testes have been observed in mice exposed to benzene at 300 ppm, but reproductive performance was not
altered in rats exposed to benzene at the same level.
Carcinogenic effects : CANCER HAZARD
CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH CAN CAUSE CANCER Risk of cancer depends on duration and level of exposure.
Classified A1 (Confirmed for humans.) by ACGIH, 1 (Proven for humans.) by IARC, 1 (Known To Be Human Carcinogens.) by
NTP, + (Proven.) by OSHA, + (Proven.) by NIOSH, 1 (Proven for humans.) by European Union [Benzene].

Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
In extreme situations of saturation with this product, drench with water, remove clothing as soon as possible and wash
skin with soap and water. Seek medical advice if skin becomes red, swollen or painful.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or
throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:
Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air
and medical assistance obtained without delay.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with H2S may reasonably be anticipated, should
be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.
_________________________________________________________________________________

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

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

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...%20Gasoline%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:55:00]


Sheet No: STI2211 Material Name: Pyrolysis Gasoline Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:15/09/98 Page:

instruments for determining its concentration.


Confined spaces contaminated with hydrogen sulphide must always be considered as constituting potentially life
threatening environments. Entry into such spaces must never be undertaken except under extreme emergency when
no alternative is possible and then only by trained operators wearing air-supplied breathing apparatus of an approved
type and following procedures strictly in accordance with the Statutory Regulations governing such entry. Please see
the comments in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) of this data sheet.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with hydrogen sulphide may be reasonably
anticipated, should be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
In extreme situations of saturation with this product, drench with water, remove clothing as soon as possible and wash
skin with soap and water. Seek medical advice if skin becomes red, swollen or painful.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or
throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My...il/Reformate%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (2 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:55:03]

Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.


See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.
_________________________________________________________________________________

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE


Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.
Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My...il/Reformate%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:55:03]


Sheet No: STI2219 Material Name: Reformate Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:15/09/98 Page:

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.
_________________________________________________________________________________

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Exposure Limits
If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest
reasonably practicable level.
Comply with current local occupational exposure limit. Where not established, the following limits are recommended.

Gasoline
ACGIH (USA) : TLV 300 ppm (8hr TWA); 500 ppm (15min STEL)
A3 - Animal Carcinogen

Benzene
ACGIH (USA): TLV 0.5ppm (8hr TWA); 2.5 ppm (15min STEL)
A1 - Confirmed human carcinogen
Skin Notation - Can be absorbed through skin

Protective Clothing
Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur.
If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.
Protective clothing should be regularly inspected and maintained; overalls should be dry-cleaned, laundered and
preferably starched after use.

Respiratory Protection
If operations are such that exposure to vapour, mist or fume may be anticipated, then suitable approved respiratory

5.0 SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

Procedure if Material is Spilled:

Remove sources of heat or ignition; provide ventilation; contain leak.

Small Spills: Absorb released material with non-combustible absorbent.


Place into containers for later disposal. (See Waste Disposal section
below.)

Large Spills: Evacuate area in the event of significant spills. Adequately


ventilate area and determine potential exposure conditions. Exposure
potential may require the use of respiratory protection. Use protective
clothing. Contain spill in temporary dikes to avoid product migration and
to assist in recovery. Do not allow material to escape into sewers, ground
water, drainage ditches or surface waters.

Control ignition sources around spill area. Use of a fire fighting foam
blanket on spilled material will reduce vapor release and fire potential.

OSHA HAZWOPER regulations may require establishing a regulated area with


site control.

Report spills as required to appropriate federal, state and local


authorities.

Waste Disposal:

It is the responsibility of the user to determine if the material is a


hazardous waste at the time of disposal.

Recovered non-usable material may be regulated by US EPA as a hazardous


waste due to its ignitability characteristics (D001) and/or its benzene
content (D018).

Transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of waste material must be


conducted in accordance with RCRA regulations (see 40 CFR 260 through 40
CFR 271).

State and/or local regulations may be more restrictive.

Toxicity Summary:
Subchronic inhalation of a component of this material, benzene, by rats
produced decreased white blood cell counts, decreased bone marrow cell
activity, increased red blood cell activity and cataracts. Chronic
inhalation or oral administration of benzene in rats produced cancers of
the liver, mouth and glands.

In humans, acute inhalation of benzene has caused nerve inflammation


(polyneuritis), central nervous system depression and cardiac
sensitization. The anesthetic action of benzene is similar to that of
other anesthetic gases, consisting of a preliminary stage of excitation
followed by depression and, if exposure is continued, death through
respiratory failure.

A component of this material, n-hexane, may cause damage to the peripheral


and central nervous systems. This component may be absorbed through the
skin and by inhalation.

This material may contain hydrogen sulfide (H2S). At elevated


concentrations, H2S acts as a systemic poison and causes unconsciousness
and death by respiratory paralysis.

Major Route(s) of Entry: Vapor inhalation and liquid skin contact.

Acute Exposure Symptoms:

Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors above applicable workplace exposure


levels may cause respiratory irritation. Inhalation to elevated
concentrations may cause euphoria, giddiness, headache, nausea, staggering
gait, weakness, central nervous system depression, dizziness, drowsiness,
pulmonary edema, convulsions, coma and paralysis. Human exposure to very
high concentrations may be fatal.

This material contains xylene. Xylene is irritating to the eyes, skin, and
mucous membranes. Over exposure to xylene can cause shortness of breath,
loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dermatitis, fatigue, headache,
dizziness, loss of coordination, irritability, slowed reaction time,

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...MSDS/White%20Oil/Straight%20Run%20Gasoline.htm (8 of 15) [29/01/2002 08:55:07]


file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/DA...QA%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/Straight%20Run%20Gasoline.htm

sleepiness and a decrease in red blood cells. In severe cases,


unconsciousness and death can occur.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) causes respiratory irritation. At low


concentrations, H2S has an odor of rotten eggs. At high concentrations,
H2S odor is not apparent. At concentrations above 500 ppm, H2S causes
unconsciousness and death by respiratory paralysis. NIOSH has determined
that atmospheres containing 100 ppm or more of H2S are immediately
dangerous to life and health.

Dermal: This material can cause skin irritation, inflammation and


blistering. The components benzene, n-hexane and toluene can be absorbed
through the skin.

Eye: May cause eye irritation with corneal injury. Small areas of
superficial cornea necrosis may also be noted. Liquid material entering
the eye may cause clouding of the cornea.

Ingestion: Symptoms may include a burning sensation of the mouth and


esophagus, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, staggering gait, somnolence, loss
of consciousness and delirium. Central nervous system effects include
visual disturbances and convulsions, excitement and euphoria with sudden
onset of weariness, fatigue and sleepiness followed by coma.

If swallowed, this material can enter the lungs by aspiration. Aspiration


can cause severe lung damage. Cardiovascular effects include shallow rapid
pulse and pallor followed by flushing. Progressive central nervous system
depression, respiratory insufficiency and ventricular fibrillation may
result in death.

Injection: Injection under the skin, in muscle or into the blood stream
can cause irritation, inflammation, swelling, fever, and systemic effects,
including pulmonary edema, pneumonia and mild central nervous system
depression. Injection of pressurized hydrocarbons can cause severe,
permanent tissue damage.

Chronic Exposure Symptoms:

Inhalation: Chronic exposure to the component benzene may result in


adverse effects of the blood, including anemia, decreased white blood cell
count, decreased platelets, aplastic anemia and leukemia. In addition,
chronic inhalation of vapors of the component benzene may cause fatigue,
nervousness, irritability, blurred vision and labored breathing.

Inhalation of the component n-hexane may cause severe degeneration of the


peripheral nervous system.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/My%20Documents/DA...QA%20Amendments/MSDS/White%20Oil/Straight%20Run%20Gasoline.htm

This material contains toluene. Laboratory animals demonstrated limited


evidence of fetal toxicity when exposed to elevated levels of toluene
during pregnancy. These effects include decreased fetal body weight and
increased skeletal variations. Developmental effects from massive exposure
to toluene in humans has been purported in cases of substance abuse.

Skin: Prolonged and repeated contact with the skin may cause redness,
blistering, dryness and/or scaly dermatitis. Overexposure of the component
n-hexane can cause peripheral nervous system damage and central nervous
system depression.

Other Special Effects:


The component n-hexane may cause damage to the peripheral nerves from
acute and chronic exposure. This effect may be characterized by numbness
in the arms and legs.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:


Individuals with chronic skin or respiratory disorders may have their
condition aggravated by overexposure to this material.

First Aid and Emergency Procedures for Acute Effects:

Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air. If victim is not breathing,


immediately begin rescue breathing. If breathing is difficult, 100 percent
humidified oxygen should be administered by a qualified individual. Seek
medical attention immediately.

Dermal: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed skin with soap and
water. Launder clothing before use. Seek medical attention if tissue
appears damaged or if irritation persists.

Eyes: Flush eyes with cool water while occasionally lifting and lowering
eyelids. Seek medical attention if excessive tearing, irritation or pain
persists.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If spontaneous vomiting is about to


occur, place victim's head below knees. Never give anything by mouth to a
person who is not fully conscious. Seek medical attention immediately.

Injection: Injection under the skin, in muscle or into the blood stream is
a medical emergency. Seek medical attention immediately.

Notes to Physician:

Inhalation: Toxic effects are produced by vapor inhalation. Monitor for


respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty in breathing develops,
evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis.

oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to effect a
quick rescue.

Handling Precautions
Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash hands thoroughly after contact.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
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.
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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never cut,
weld, solder or braze empty containers.

_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as reasonably practicable. Remove heavily contaminated clothing
and wash underlying skin.
In extreme situations of saturation with this product, drench with water, remove clothing as soon as possible and wash
skin with soap and water. Seek medical advice if skin becomes red, swollen or painful.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or
throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE:
Casualties suffering ill effects as a result of exposure to hydrogen sulphide should be immediately removed to fresh air
and medical assistance obtained without delay.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with H2S may reasonably be anticipated, should
be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Medical Advice
Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...%20Naphtha%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (2 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:55:15]


Sheet No: STI2218 Material Name: Straight-Run Naphtha Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:22/09/98 Page:

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.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.
It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/...%20Naphtha%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (3 of 8) [29/01/2002 08:55:15]


Sheet No: STI2218 Material Name: Straight-Run Naphtha Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:22/09/98 Page:

Do not enter storage tanks without breathing apparatus unless the tank has been well ventilated and the tank
atmosphere has been shown to contain hydrocarbon vapour concentrations of less than 1% of the lower flammability
limit and an oxygen concentration of at least 20% volume.
Always have sufficient people standing by outside the tank with appropriate breathing apparatus and equipment to
effect a quick rescue.

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.
Confined spaces contaminated with hydrogen sulphide must always be considered as constituting potentially life
threatening environments. Entry into such spaces must never be undertaken except under extreme emergency when
no alternative is possible and then only by trained operators wearing air-supplied breathing apparatus of an approved
type and following procedures strictly in accordance with the Statutory Regulations governing such entry. Please see
the comments in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) of this data sheet.
It is advisable that all who are engaged in operations in which contact with hydrogen sulphide may be reasonably
anticipated, should be trained in the techniques of emergency resuscitation and in the care of an unconscious patient.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Whilst using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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.
Empty containers represent a fire hazard as they may contain some remaining flammable product and vapour. Never
cut, weld, solder or braze empty containers.

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Highly flammable
Harmful if vapour, mists or fumes generated during use are inhaled.
Harmful if swallowed - aspiration hazard.
May be irritating to eyes
May be irritating to the skin
_________________________________________________________________________________

4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Eyes
Wash eye thoroughly with copious quantities of water, ensuring eyelids are held open. Obtain medical advice if any
pain or redness develops or persists.

Skin
Wash off immediately with soap and water. Change heavily contaminated clothing and wash underlying skin.

Ingestion
If contamination of the mouth occurs, wash out thoroughly with water.
Except as a deliberate act, the ingestion of large amounts of product is unlikely. If it should occur, do not induce
vomiting; obtain medical advice.

Inhalation
If exposure to vapour, mists or fumes causes drowsiness, headache, blurred vision or irritation of the eyes, nose or
throat, remove immediately to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. If any symptoms persist obtain medical advice.
Unconscious casualties must be placed in the recovery position. Monitor breathing and pulse rate and if breathing has
failed, or is deemed inadequate, respiration must be assisted, preferably by the mouth to mouth method. Administer
external cardiac massage if necessary. Seek medical attention immediately.

Medical Advice
Product can be aspirated on swallowing or following regurgitation of stomach contents, and can cause severe and
potentially fatal chemical pneumonitis, which will require urgent treatment. Because of the risk of aspiration, induction
of vomiting and gastric lavage should be avoided. Gastric lavage should be undertaken only after endotracheal
intubation. Monitor for cardiac dysrhythmias.
_________________________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire.
There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour.
Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets.
Fires in confined spaces should be dealt with by trained personnel wearing approved breathing apparatus.
Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk.

Combustion Products
Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.
See Stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Safety Data Sheet.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a severe fire and/or explosion hazard.
Spilled material may make surfaces slippery.

file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/lanewg/M...Oil/Toluene%20Issue%20Date%20%2017-07-2000.htm (2 of 7) [29/01/2002 08:55:19]


Sheet No: STI2208 Material Name: Toluene Issue Date : 17/07/2000 Revision of Sheet Dated:28/12/95 Page:

It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage
which may be reasonably anticipated.
Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. along drainage systems, in basements
etc.).

Isolate spillage from all ignition sources including road traffic.


Evacuate all non essential personnel from the immediate area.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable
atmosphere is present before entry.
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear protective clothing. See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, section 8, of this Safety Data Sheet.
Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition.
The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe.
Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel.

Protect drains from potential spills to minimise contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system.
In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover
product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies.
Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
In the event of spillages contact the appropriate authorities.

Storage Conditions
Store and dispense only in well ventilated areas away from heat and sources of ignition.
Store and use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product.
Containers must be properly labelled and kept closed when not in use.
Do not remove warning labels from containers.
Empty packages may contain some remaining product. Retain hazard warning labels on empty packages as a guide to
the safe handling, storage and disposal of empty packaging.

Handling Precautions
Ensure good ventilation and avoid as far as reasonably practicable the inhalation and contact with vapours, mists or
fumes which may be generated during use. If such vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the
workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level.
Avoid contact with skin and observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with eyes. If splashing is likely to occur wear a full face visor or chemical goggles as appropriate.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Do not siphon product by mouth.
Take all necessary precautions against accidental spillage into soil or water.

Fire Prevention
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. 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.
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
