Shell Tonna Oil S 68

remove casualty to fresh air. If symptoms persist, obtain medical attention.

Symptoms: dizziness or nausea

Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected skin with soap and water.

Symptoms: persistent irritation occurs, injection of product under the skin can occur

Flush eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical attention.

Symptoms: persistent irritation

Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water and obtain medical attention.

Symptoms: There may be a risk to health where low viscosity products are aspirated into the lungs following vomiting, although this is uncommon in adults. Such aspiration would cause intense local irritation and chemical pneumonitis. Children, and those in whom consciousness is impaired, will be more at risk. rapid onset of central nervous system depression from large ingested volume

If the levels of oil mist or vapour in air are likely to exceed the occupational exposure standards then consideration should be given to the use of local exhaust ventilation to reduce personal exposure.

Chemical protective gloves are made from a wide range of materials, but there is no single glove material ( or combination of materials) which gives unlimited resistance to any individual or combination of substances or preparations. The extent of the breakthrough time will be affected by a combination of factors which include permeation, penetration, degradation, use pattern ( full immersion, occasional contacts) and how the glove is stored when not in use. Theoretical maximum levels of protection are seldom achieved in practice and the actual level of protection can be difficult to assess. Effective breakthrough time should be used with care and a margin of safety should be applied. HSE guidance on protective gloves recommends a 75% safety factor to be applied to any figures obtained in a laboratory test. Nitrile gloves may offer relatively long breakthrough times and slow permeation rates. Test data, e.g breakthrough data obtained through test standard EN374-3:1994 are available from reputable equipment suppliers.

Goggles conforming to a minimum standard of EN 166 345B should be considered if there is a possibility of eye contact with the product through splashing. Higher rated eye protection must be considered for highly hazardous operations or work areas. For example, employees involved in metalworking operations such as chipping, grinding or cutting may require additional protection to avert injury from fast moving particles or broken tools.

At standard temperature and pressure, the Occupational Exposure Standard for oil vapour is unlikely to be exceeded. Care should be taken to keep exposures below applicable occupational exposure limits. If this cannot be achieved, use of a respirator fitted with an organic vapour cartridge combined with a particulate pre-filter should be considered. Half masks (EN 149) or valved half masks (EN 405) in combination with type A2 (EN 141) and P2/3 (EN 143) pre-filters maybe considered.

Minimise all forms of skin contact. Overalls and shoes with oil resistant soles should be worn. Launder overalls and undergarments regularly.

Minimise release to the environment. An environmental assessment must be made to ensure compliance with local environmental legislation.
