Naphtha, (petroleum), full-range straight run

Remove to fresh air. If rapid recovery does not occur, transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment.

Symptoms: If material enters lungs, signs and symptoms may include coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest congestion, shortness of breath, and/or fever. Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression resulting in dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss of coordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness and death.

Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, and follow by washing with soap and water if available.

Symptoms: Skin irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation, redness, swelling, and/or blisters. If redness, swelling, pain and/or blisters occur, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment.

Flush eyes with water while holding eyelids open. Rest eyes for 30 minutes.

Symptoms: Eye irritation signs and symptoms may include a burning sensation and a temporary redness of the eye. If redness, burning, blurred vision, or swelling persist, transport to the nearest medical facility for additional treatment.

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting: transport to nearest medical facility for additional treatment. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration.

Symptoms: If any of the following delayed signs and symptoms appear within the next 6 hours: fever greater than 101 F (38.3C), shortness of breath, chest congestion or continued coughing or wheezing.

Use sealed systems as far as possible. Adequate explosion-proof ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended.

Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, glove thickness, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN374, US F739). When prolonged or frequent repeated contact occurs, Nitrile gloves may be suitable. (Breakthrough time of > 240 minutes.) For incidental contact/splash protection Neoprene, PVC gloves may be suitable.

Chemical splash goggles (chemical monogoggles). Approved to EU Standard EN166.

If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appropriate combination of mask and filter. Where air-filtering respirators are unsuitable (e.g. airborne concentrations are high, risk of oxygen deficiency, confined space) use appropriate positive pressure breathing apparatus. All respiratory protection equipment and use must be in accordance with local regulations. Select a filter suitable for combined particulate/organic gases and vapours [boiling point >65 C (149 F)] meeting EN14387.

Chemical resistant gloves/gauntlets, boots, and apron (where risk of splashing).

Local guidelines on emission limits for volatile substances must be observed for the discharge of exhaust air containing vapour.
