FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
EXTINGUISHING MEDIASMALL FIRES: Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires, dry chemical, CO2, water spray, fire fighting foam, or Halon.
LARGE FIRES: Water Spray, fog or fire fighting foam. Water may be ineffective for fighting the fire, but may be used to cool fire-exposed containers. FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONSSmall fires in the incipient (beginning) stage may typically be extinguished using handheld portable fire extinguishers and other fighting equipment.
Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high heat, smoke or toxic by-products of combustion should require NIOSH/MSHA-approved pressure-demand self-contained breathing apparatus with full-face piece and full protective clothing.
Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells and containers exposed to fire and excessive heat with water. For massive fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may require withdrawal, allowing the tank to burn. Large storage tank fires typically require specially trained personnel and equipment to extinguish fire, often including the need for properly applied fire fighting foam.
STABILITY: Stable. Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
CONDITIONS TO AVOIDAvoid high temperatures, open flames, sparks, welding, smoking and other ignition sources.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALSKeep away from strong oxidizers such as nitric and sulfuric acids.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTSCarbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and non-combustible hydrocarbons (smoke).
EYES Contact with liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation.
SKINMay cause skin irritation with prolonged or repeated contact. Practically non-toxic is absorbed following acute (single) exposure. Liquid may be absorbed through skin in toxic amounts if large areas of skin are repeatedly exposed.
INGESTIONThe major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration (breathing) of liquid drops into the lungs, particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs), severe lung damage, respiratory failure and even death.
Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and central nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors, convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur.
INHALATION Excessive exposure may cause irritations to the nose, throat, lungs and respiratory tract. Central nervous system (brain) effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, unconsciousness, coma, respiratory arrest, and death.
CHRONIC EFFECTS AND CARCINOGENICTY Similar products produced skin cancer and systematic toxicity in laboratory animals following repeated applications. The significance of these results to human exposures has not been determined.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGREVATED BY EXPOSURE Irritation from skin exposure may aggravate existing open wounds, skin disorders and dermatitis.
FIRST AID MEASURES EYES: In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open to ensure adequate flushing. Seek medical attention.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated areas thoroughly with soap and water or waterless hand cleanser. Obtain medical attention if irritation or redness develops.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Monitor for breathing difficulties. Small amounts of material that enter the mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is dissipated.
INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, ensure an open airway and provide artificial respiration. If necessary, provide additional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so. Seek medical attention immediately.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Handle as a combustible liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame! Electrical equipment should be approved for classified area. Bond and ground containers during product transfer to reduce the possibility of static-initiated fire or explosion.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS Keep away from sparks, excessive temperatures and open flames. Store in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storage near incompatible materials.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ACTIVATE FACILITY’S SPILL CONTINGENCY OR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN. Evacuate nonessential personnel and remove or secure all ignition sources. Consider wind direction; stay upwind and uphill, if possible. Evaluate the direction of material travel, diking, sewers, etc. to confirm sill areas. Spills may infiltrate subsurface soil and groundwater; professional assistance may be necessary to determine the extent of subsurface impact.
Carefully contain and stop the source of the spill, if safe to do so. Prevent spilled material entering sewers or drainage systems by using absorbents and diking around sewer openings.
Clean up with sand or other oil absorbing materials. Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep into a waste container for reclamation or disposal. CAUTION: flammable vapors may accumulate in closed containers. Response and clean-up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment (See Section VIII). Dispose in compliance with all local, state and federal regulations.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS Use adequate ventilation to keep vapor concentrations below occupational exposure and flammability limits, particularly in confined spaces.
PERSONAL PROTECTION Neoprene or PVC gloves and safety glasses with side shields or goggles are recommended. Chemical protective clothing is recommended for large spills.
A NIOSH/MSHA-approved air-purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridges may be permissible where airborne concentrations exceed exposure limits for odor or irritation. Refer to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.
PROPER SHIPPING NAME: Kerosene HAZARD CLASS & PACKING GROUP: 3, PG III DOT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: UN 1223 DOT SHIPPING LABEL: FLAMMABLE LIQUID May be reclassified for transportation as a combustible liquid under circumstances of DOT 49 CFR 173.120(b)(2).
