SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> G' L Diesel Fuel <br /> 4. FIRST AID MEASURES <br /> Route Measures <br /> Inhalation Remove person to fresh air.If person is not breathing,ensure an open airway and provide artificial respiration. <br /> If necessary,provide additional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so.Seek medical attention <br /> immediately. <br /> Ingestion Aspiration Hazard:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.Do not give liquids.Obtain immediate medical attention.If <br /> spontaneous vomiting occurs,lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration.Ingestion may cause <br /> gastrointestinal disturbances including irritation,nausea,vomiting,and diarrhea,and central nervous system <br /> (brain)effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases,tremors,convulsions,loss of consciousness, <br /> coma,respiratory failure,and death. <br /> Eye Contact In case of contact with eyes,immediately flush with clean,low-pressure water for at least 15 min.Hold eyelids <br /> open to ensure adequate flushing.Seek medical attention. In case of contact lenses,remove immediately. <br /> Skin Contact Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.Wash contaminated areas thoroughly with soap and water or <br /> waterless hand cleanser.Obtain medical attention if irritation or redness develops. Thermal burns require <br /> immediate medical attention depending on the severity and of the area of the body burned. <br /> Most Important Symptoms <br /> Contact with eyes and face may cause irritation. Long-term exposure may cause dermatitis(itching,irritation,pain and <br /> swelling). <br /> Inhalation may cause irritation and significant or long term exposure could cause respiratory insufficiency and pulmonary <br /> edema. <br /> Ingestion may cause aspiration,gastrointestinal disturbance,and CNS effects. <br /> • Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment <br /> For contact with skin or eyes,immediately wash or flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. If possible,irrigate each <br /> eye continuously with 0.9%saline(NS). If ingested,rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting,as this may cause chemical <br /> pneumonia(fluid in the lungs). <br /> If inhaled,administer oxygen or establish a patent airway if breathing is labored. Suction if necessary. Monitor closely, <br /> anticipate seizures. Consider orotracheal or nostracheal intubation of airway control if patient is unconscious or is in severe <br /> respiratory distress. <br /> Discard any clothing or shoes contaminated as they may be flammable. <br /> 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES <br /> Extinguishing Media <br /> Foam,carbon dioxide,dry chemical are most suitable <br /> SMALL FIRES:Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires,dry chemical,CO2,water spray,firefighting foam,or Halon. Small fires <br /> in the incipient(beginning)stage may typically be extinguished using handheld portable fire extinguishers and other firefighting <br /> equipment. <br /> LARGE FIRES:Foam,carbon dioxide,dry chemical. Water may be ineffective for fighting the fire,but may be used to cool fire- <br /> exposed containers. <br /> Specific Hazards/Products of Combustion <br /> Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame with a very low flash point. Product is flammable and easily ignited when <br /> exposed to heat,spark,open flame or other source of ignition. Flowing product may be ignited by self-generated static <br /> electricity. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source,flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in <br /> confined spaces.Being heavier than air,vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back.Runoff to sewer <br /> may cause fire or explosion hazard. <br /> Combustion may produce smoke,carbon monoxide and other products of incomplete combustion. <br /> • Special Precautions and Protective Equipment for Firefighters <br /> Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks,shells,and containers exposed to fire and excessive heat with water. <br /> Page 3 of 11 May 2016 <br />
