Contain the spilt product from spreading using soil, sand or any other absorbent material.
The contaminated zone must be degreased with solvent, taking care not to allow vapours
to form or stagnate, and the residual material from the cleaning process must be disposed
of as envisaged by law.
- Avoid contact with the skin.
- Avoid the formation or spreading of oil mists in the atmosphere.
- The following fundamental health precautions must therefore be adopted:
• protect against oil splashes (appropriate clothing, protective guards on machines);
• wash yourself frequently with soap and water; do not use cleaners or solvents that
can irritate your skin or remove its natural protective oil;
• do not dry hands with dirty or greasy rags;
• change clothing if impregnated with oil, and in any case at the end of each work shift;
• never smoke or eat with oily hands.
- Also adopt the following preventive and protective equipment:
• gloves resistant to mineral oils, with lining;
• goggles, in case of splashes;
• aprons resistant to mineral oils;
• screens to protect against oil splashes.
- Swallowing: go to Casualty with the characteristics of the type of oil swallowed.
- Inhalation: in case of exposure to strong concentration of vapours or mists, take the
affected person out into the open air and then to Casualty.
- Eyes: rinse with plenty of water and go to Casualty as soon as possible.
- Skin: wash with soap and water.
