Other hazards which do not Static accumulating flammable liquid can become electrostatically charged even in
result in classification bonded and grounded equipment. Sparks may ignite liquid and vapour may cause
flash fire or explosion.
Specific hazards arising Extremely flammable liquid and vapour. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase
from the chemical will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion.
Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Vapours can form explosive
mixtures with air. Vapours are heavier than air and can spread along the ground or
float on water surfaces to remote ignition sources. Vapours may accumulate in low
or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash
back. This product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become
electrostatically charged. If sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable
mixtures can occur. To reduce potential for static discharge, use proper bonding
and grounding procedures. This liquid may accumulate static electricity when filling
properly-grounded containers. Static accumulation may be significantly increased
by the presence of small quantities of water or other contaminants. Liquid will float
and may reignite on surface of water.
Special protective actions No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
for fire-fighters Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use
water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Special protective Fire-fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
equipment for fire-fighters (SCBA) and full turnout gear.

Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). In case of small spillages in closed waters
(i.e. ports), contain product with floating barriers or other equipment. Collect spilled
product by absorbing with specific floating absorbents. If possible, large spillages in
open waters should be contained with floating barriers or other mechanical means.
If this is not possible, control the spreading of the spillage, and collect the product by
skimming or other suitable mechanical means. The use of dispersants should be
advised by an expert, and, if required, approved by local authorities. Collect
recovered product and other contaminated materials in suitable tanks or containers
for recycle, recovery or safe disposal.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Avoid exposure -
obtain special instructions before use. Avoid exposure during pregnancy. Do not
handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Do not get in
eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not swallow. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can
enter lungs and cause damage. Never siphon by mouth. Avoid breathing vapour or
mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when
ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative
made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Store and
use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use explosion-
proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Use only non-
sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges.
Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse
container. Handling operations that can promote accumulation of static charges
include but are not limited to: mixing, filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash
filling, creating mists or sprays, tank and container filling, tank cleaning, sampling,
gauging, switch loading, vacuum truck operations. Restrict flow velocity according
to API 2003 (2008), NFPA 77 (2007), and Laurence Britton, “Avoiding Static Ignition
Hazards in Chemical Operations”. To reduce potential for static discharge, ensure
that all equipment is properly grounded and bonded and meets appropriate electrical
classification requirements.
Advice on general Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
occupational hygiene handled, stored and processed. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove
contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See
also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.
Conditions for safe storage, Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved
including any area. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
incompatibilities ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and
drink. Store locked up. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidising
materials. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Store and
use only in equipment/containers designed for use with this product. Containers
that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent
leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to
avoid environmental contamination.
Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in the headspace of tanks. These can
cause flammability/explosion hazards even at temperatures below the normal flash
point (note: flash point must not be regarded as a reliable indicator of the potential
flammability of vapour in tank headspaces). Tank headspaces should always be
regarded as potentially flammable and care should be taken to avoid static electrical
discharge and all ignition sources during filling, ullaging and sampling from storage
tanks. Do not enter storage tanks. If entry to vessels is necessary, follow permit to
work procedures. Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area
contaminated with vapour, mist or fume is extremely hazardous without the correct
respiratory protective equipment and a safe system of work. When the product is
pumped (e.g. during filling, discharge or ullaging) and when sampling, there is a risk
of static discharge. Ensure equipment used is properly earthed or bonded to the
tank structure. Electrical equipment should not be used unless it is intrinsically safe
(i.e. will not produce sparks). Explosive air/vapour mixtures may form at ambient
temperature. If product comes into contact with hot surfaces, or leaks occur from
pressurised fuel pipes, the vapour or mists generated will create a flammability or
explosion hazard. Product contaminated rags, paper or material used to absorb
spillages, represent a fire hazard, and should not be allowed to accumulate.
Appropriate engineering All activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to
controls ensure exposures are adequately controlled. Personal protective equipment should
only be considered after other forms of control measures (e.g. engineering controls)
have been suitably evaluated. Personal protective equipment should conform to
appropriate standards, be suitable for use, be kept in good condition and properly
maintained.
Your supplier of personal protective equipment should be consulted for advice on
selection and appropriate standards. For further information contact your national
organisation for standards.
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant
airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits.
The final choice of protective equipment will depend upon a risk assessment. It is
important to ensure that all items of personal protective equipment are compatible.
Environmental exposure Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Do not re-use gloves. Protective gloves must give suitable protection against
mechanical risks (i.e. abrasion, blade cut and puncture). Protective gloves will
deteriorate over time due to physical and chemical damage. Inspect and replace
gloves on a regular basis. The frequency of replacement will depend upon the
circumstances of use.
Recommended: Gloves made from fluoroelastomer resistant to hydrocarbons
and a wide range of chemicals.
Wear a chemically resistant multi-layer laminate inner glove
inside an outer nitrile glove. The purpose of the outer glove is to
protect the inner glove from cuts and mechanical damage. The
presence of aromatic hydrocarbons in the product will
significantly shorten the length of time that nitrile gloves will
provide protection. Do not re-use nitrile gloves if exposed to
aromatic hydrocarbons.
Skin protection Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist
before handling this product.
Cotton or polyester/cotton overalls will only provide protection against light
superficial contamination that will not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be
laundered on a regular basis. When the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when
Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure
Other information Gasoline - Excess exposure to vapors may produce headaches, dizziness, nausea,
drowsiness, irritation of eyes, nose and throat and central nervous system
depression. Aspiration of this material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonia
and can be fatal. Aspiration into the lungs can occur while vomiting after ingestion of
this product. Inhalation of unleaded gasoline vapors did not produce birth defects in
laboratory animals. Ingestion of this material can cause gastrointestinal irritation and
diarrhea.
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.
Toluene: Aspiration of this material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonia
and can be fatal. Aspiration into the lungs can occur while vomiting after ingestion
of this material. Deliberate inhalation of high concentrations of toluene has been
linked to damage of the brain, liver and kidney. Inhalation of very high
concentrations of toluene, such as in cases of solvent abuse, has resulted in
sudden death which may be a result of cardiac arrhythmia or central nervous
system depression. Mental and/or growth retardation has been reported in children
of women who deliberately inhale toluene during pregnancy (usually at thousands of
ppm). Foetal developmental toxicity was observed when pregnant rats were
exposed to toluene at levels of 1500 ppm. Maternal toxicity was also observed at
this concentration. Prolonged, high level exposure to toluene in laboratory animals
has resulted in hearing loss. Exposure studies in rats have resulted in adverse
effects on the kidney, liver and central nervous system. Studies in occupationally
