775429 - Polytac0 No. 2 <br />Date of Issue: 03-Feb-2009 <br />Page 3/7 <br />Status: Final <br />6. Accidental Release Measures <br />Personal Precautions: Stay upwind and away from spill/release. Notify persons and shipping down wind of the spill/release, isolate <br />immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Wear appropriate protective equipment, including respiratory protection, <br />as conditions warrant (see Section 8). See Sections 2 and 7 for additional information on hazards and precautionary measures. <br />Environmental Precautions: If spill/release in excess of EPA reportable quantity (see Section 15) is made into the environment, <br />immediately notify the National Response Center (phone number 800-424-8802). Stop spill/release if it can be done safely. Prevent <br />spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized drainage systems, and natural waterways. Use water sparingly <br />to minimize environmental contamination and reduce disposal requirements. If spill occurs on water notify appropriate authorities and <br />advise shipping of any hazard. Spills into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines that cause a sheen or <br />discoloration on the surface of the water, may require notification of the National Response Center (phone number 800-424-8802). <br />Methods for Containment and Clean-Up: Notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations. Immediate cleanup <br />of any spill is recommended. Dike far ahead of spill for later recovery or disposal. Absorb spill with inert material such as sand or <br />vermiculite, and place in suitable container for disposal. If spilled on water remove with appropriate methods (e.g. skimming, booms or <br />absorbents). <br />Handling and Storage <br />Precautions for safe handling: Use good personal hygiene practices and wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash <br />thoroughly after handling. <br />High pressure injection of hydrocarbon fuels, hydraulic oils or greases under the skin may have serious consequences even though no <br />symptoms or injury may be apparent. This can happen accidentally when using high pressure equipment such as high pressure grease <br />guns, fuel injection apparatus or from pinhole leaks in tubing of high pressure hydraulic oil equipment. <br />Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures such as ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR <br />1910.146. Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. <br />"Empty" containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such <br />containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. "Empty" drums should be <br />completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed <br />of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. Before working on or in tanks which contain or <br />have contained this material, refer to OSHA regulations, ANSI Z49.1, and other references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or <br />other contemplated operations. <br />Conditions for safe storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from <br />heat and all sources of ignition. Store only in approved containers. Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas. Keep <br />away from any incompatible material (see Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical damage. <br />0. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection <br />Component US-ACGIH. OSHA Other <br />Lubricant Base Oil (Petroleum) TWA: 5mg/m3 TWA: 5 mg/m3 --- <br /> STEL: 10 mg/m3 as Oil Mist, if generated <br /> as Oil Mist, if generated <br />Note: State, local or other agencies or advisory groups may have established more stringent limits. Consult an industrial <br />hygienist or similar professional, or your local agencies, for further information. <br />Engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established <br />exposure limits, additional engineering controls may be required. <br />Eye/Face Protection: The use of eye protection that meets or exceeds ANSI Z.87.1 is recommended to protect against potential eye <br />contact, irritation, or injury. Depending on conditions of use, a face shield may be necessary. <br />Skin/Hand Protection: The use of gloves impervious to the specific material handled is advised to prevent skin contact. Users should <br />check with manufacturers to confirm the breakthrough performance of their products. Suggested protective materials: Nitrile. <br />Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is not normally required under intended conditions of use. Emergencies or conditions <br />that could result in significant airborne exposures may require the use of NIOSH approved respiratory protection. An industrial hygienist <br />or other appropriate health and safety professional should be consulted for specific guidance under these situations.
