2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EC Classification : Not classified as dangerous under EC criteria.
Health Hazards : Not expected to be a health hazard when used under normal
conditions. Prolonged or repeated skin contact without proper
cleaning can clog the pores of the skin resulting in disorders
such as oil acne/folliculitis. High-pressure injection under the
skin may cause serious damage including local necrosis. Used
grease may contain harmful impurities.
Signs and Symptoms : Local necrosis is evidenced by delayed onset of pain and
tissue damage a few hours following injection. Oil
acne/folliculitis signs and symptoms may include formation of
black pustules and spots on the skin of exposed areas.
Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhoea.
Safety Hazards : Not classified as flammable but will burn.
Environmental Hazards : Not classified as dangerous for the environment.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General Information : Not expected to be a health hazard when used under normal
conditions.
Inhalation : No treatment necessary under normal conditions of use. If
symptoms persist, obtain medical advice.
Skin Contact : Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water
and follow by washing with soap if available. If persistent
irritation occurs, obtain medical attention. When using high
pressure equipment, injection of product under the skin can
occur. If high pressure injuries occur, the casualty should be
sent immediately to a hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to
develop. Obtain medical attention even in the absence of
apparent wounds.
Eye Contact : Flush eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent
irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.
Ingestion : In general no treatment is necessary unless large quantities
are swallowed, however, get medical advice.
Advice to Physician : Treat symptomatically. High pressure injection injuries require
prompt surgical intervention and possibly steroid therapy, to
minimise tissue damage and loss of function. Because entry
wounds are small and do not reflect the seriousness of the
underlying damage, surgical exploration to determine the
extent of involvement may be necessary. Local anaesthetics or
hot soaks should be avoided because they can contribute to
swelling, vasospasm and ischaemia. Prompt surgical
decompression, debridement and evacuation of foreign
material should be performed under general anaesthetics, and
wide exploration is essential.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel.
Specific Hazards : Hazardous combustion products may include: A complex
mixture of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases
(smoke). Carbon monoxide. Unidentified organic and inorganic
compounds.
Suitable Extinguishing
Media
: Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon
dioxide, sand or earth may be used for small fires only.
Unsuitable Extinguishing
Media
: Do not use water in a jet.
Protective Equipment for
Firefighters
: Proper protective equipment including breathing apparatus
must be worn when approaching a fire in a confined space. |
