In general, emesis induction is unnecessary with high viscosity, low volatility products, i.e. most oils and greases. Injuries may not seem serious at first, but within a few hours tissue may become swollen, discoloured and extremely painful with extensive subcutaneous necrosis. Product may be forced through considerable distances along tissue planes. It is not advisable to apply this standard to oils containing unknown concentrations and types of additive. If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator.
Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas. The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective equipment required. Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks. Keep containers securely sealed. No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
