NFPA Hazard Rating Least – 0 Slight – 1 Moderate – 2 High – 3 Extreme - 4 Health: 0 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0 Product Listed As A Carcinogen or Potential Carcinogen by: NTP: NO IARC: NO OSHA: NO SECTION 4: FIRST-AID MEASURES

Take proper precautions to ensure your own health and safety before attempting rescue or providing first aid

Inhalation Remove exposed person to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial

respiration. Get medical attention promptly. Eye Contact Immediately flush eyes for a minimum of 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the

lower and upper lids. Get medical attention promptly. Skin Contact Immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water.

Launder clothing before wearing again. Get medical attention promptly. Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Give large quantities of water. Never give anything by

mouth to an unconscious person. Call physician immediately. SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing Media Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam as extinguishing media. Water may be ineffective to extinguish flame but is to be used to keep fire

exposed containers cool. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapours and to

protect personnel attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from areas of potential exposure.

Specific Hazards Products of combustion may contain carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and

various hydrocarbon compounds. Do not enter enclosed or confined space without a self contained breathing apparatus and other protective equipment. The product is flammable when heated to high temperatures. Empty containers when heated nay pose a fire risk. Fire and container explosion hazards are serious when this product is exposed to heat or flame. Vapours may travel to some distant source of ignition and flash back.

Protection of Proper equipment (gloves, shoes, goggles or self contained breathing apparatus) Fire Fighter Other Information Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering sewers or waterways.

VACUUM GAS OIL


SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions Material is combustible. Remove all sources of ignition. Shut off leaks if possible without personal risk.

Environmental Do not allow free liquids to enter drains, sewers, ground water, drainage ditches Precautions or surface waters. Report releases in accordance with local, state and federal requirements.

Clean-up Methods Small Spill: Absorb spill with inert material. Shovel material into appropriate container for

disposal.

Large Spill: Eliminate ignition sources. Spill or leak area should be isolated immediately.

Keep upwind and out of low areas. Stop or reduce discharge if safe to do so. Prevent entry into ditches, sewers and waterways. Contain discharge by booming on water or diking on ground. Remove material with non-sparking, approved pumps, skimmers or vacuum equipment. Absorb/ adsorb residual materials with DRY earth, sand or other non-combustible materials. Soil remediation may be required.

Disposal See Section 13 of this MSDS for information concerning the disposal of this

product. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Handle in fully grounded, properly designed and approved containers and

equipment systems. Control temperature in shipping and handling to recommended levels. Keep away from welding operations, sparks, flames or other ignition sources. No smoking or open flame in storage, use or handling areas. Empty containers when heated may pose a fire risk. Provide local and general exhaust ventilation to effectively remove and prevent build up of any heated vapours or mists generated form the handling of this product. Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear suitable protective equipment including impervious gloves and eye protection. After handing, always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Storage Keep container grounded, tightly closed and away from heat and strong oxidizers

(NFPA Class III A Combustible). Do not store with strong oxidizers. Empty containers may contain product residue, which could produce flammable or explosive vapours.

Precautions While loading, unloading, tank gauging, etc., remain upwind. Request assistance

of safety and industrial hygiene personnel to determine air concentrations. Know the location of eye wash stations and safety showers.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control Parameters In the absence of any national or local regulations the following controls are recommended:

Name Type Value Reference

Petroleum PEL 500 ppm ACGIH

Petroleum TLV 100 mg/ m3 ACGIH

Personal Protection Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be selected based upon the conditions under which this material is used. A hazard assessment of the work area for PPE requirements should be conducted by qualified professional pursuant to OSHA regulations.

Body and Hand Wear protective clothing for normal operations like coveralls, flam retardant Protection clothing (with legs over boots), gloves: Nitrile, neoprene or other material resistant to fuel oil, and heavy duty boots.

Safety glasses, chemical goggles or face shield as appropriate.

Respiratory Use sufficient ventilation to maintain air concentrations below regulatory limits. Protection Select appropriate NIOSH approved respiratory protection where necessary (determined by potential exposure and published respiratory protection factors). For unknown concentration, use self-contained breathing apparatus with positive pressure. General Comments USE GOOD PERSONEL HYGIENE PRACTICES. Good personal hygiene in

respect of hands and under clothing should always be maintained in the course of work. Wash hands and other exposed skin areas with plenty of mild soap and water before eating, drinking, and smoking, use of toilet facilities or leaving work.

VACUUM GAS OIL


SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Environmental Effect Discharges of petroleum products that may cause a film or sheen upon or

discoloration of the water surface or adjoining shoreline. In ambient conditions, this product has minimal to no volatility into air. Any volatile component degrades by reaction with hydroxyl radicals, in the troposphere under the influence of sunlight with half lives less than one day. These waxy hydrocarbon mixtures are not subject to hydrolysis reactions with water. This complex mixture is expected to partition primarily to soil and/ or sediment.

Mobility Mobility in the aquatic and atmospheric environment is low due to low water

solubility and low vapour pressure. SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATION Recycle as much of the recoverable product as possible. It is the responsibility of the user to determine if the material is a hazardous waste at the time of disposal. Treatment, storage, transportation and disposal must be in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. SECTION 14: TRANSPORT INFORMATION

Conform to local requirements, if none exists recommend: Proper Shipping Name : Gas Oil Hazard Class : 3 UN Number : 1202 Placard : Combustible Packing Group : III SECTION 15: REGULATORY INFORMATION TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT, 40 CFR 710 This material is a mixture containing chemical ingredients listed on the TSCA inventory of chemical substances. RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT, 40 CFR 261 This material is not listed but is subject to characteristic testing if discarded or spilled. If it tests hazardous, 40 CFR 262-266 and 268 may apply.
