4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting, obtain medical attention.
Inhalation
If inhalation of mists, fumes or vapour causes irritation remove to fresh air. If casualty does not rapidly recover seek medical attention.
Skin Contact
Wash with soap and water
Eye Contact
Irrigate with copious amounts of water
Other Information
If exposed to hydrogen sulphide fumes the effects will depend on the airborne concentration - 0.02ppm odour threshold, smell of rotten eggs; 10ppm eye and respiratory tract irritation.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing equipment
Carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam or water fog. Do not use water jets
HAZCHEM
Combustion products include carbon monoxide.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Spilt product constitutes a slip hazard. Avoid contact with eyes.
Environmental precautions
Prevent entry into drains, sewers and watercourses.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up
Can be wiped from surfaces and residues cleaned with water and detergent.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with hot material to prevent burns

Engineering controls
At ambient temperature oil has very low volatility, so development of fumes is highly unlikely. At high temperatures hydrogen sulphide may be released.
Personal protective equipment
Eye and face protection
Eye washes should be available for emergency use.
Skin protection
Wash hands after use. For prolonged or repeated skin contact gloves are recommended.
Body protection
Wear coveralls.
Respiratory protection
None required
