First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Ensure that airways are clear and unobstructed. Keep warm and at rest. If breathing stops or shows signs of failing, apply mouth to mouth ventilation.

Symptoms: difficulty in breathing

Skin contact

Wash copiously with soap and water - remove contaminated clothing, including shoes and launder before re-use.

Symptoms: skin irritation

Eye contact

As soon as possible irrigate thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids apart.

Symptoms: irritation

Ingestion

In the event of deliberate ingestion help must be obtained urgently. Do not induce vomiting. Try to keep patient conscious and try to make certain that patient does not aspirate vomit into lungs.

Symptoms: abdominal pain, vomiting

Immediate Medical Attention

If skin irritation develops seek immediate medical attention. If in any doubt, or the irritation persists, obtain medical attention. If there is any difficulty in breathing, or vomiting has occurred obtain medical attention urgently. In the event of deliberate ingestion help must be obtained urgently. Seek prompt medical attention.

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

foam, dry powder, CO² or halons

Unsuitable media

DO NOT USE WATER

Instructions

Keep product in storage (and in use) away from sources of ignition. In the event of fire, remove all unaffected product (if possible) away from the immediate vicinity. If necessary cool stocks with water mists.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Small spill

Place cans in bags or open pail until pressure has dissipated. Wipe affected areas with white spirit or turpentine substitute and allow to dry. When dry wash affected areas with soapy water to remove any remnants of WD-40. If white spirit cannot be applied, layer with sawdust or absorbent material. Allow to dry and then sweep/shovel into refuse bins and dispose of via public or private waste disposal.

Large spill

In the event of large roadside transport spillages resulting from collision or overturned vehicles, vehicles must be kept away from contaminated roads or other surfaces. Affected areas should be covered in layers of sawdust or similarly absorbent material. Do not wash into drains, waterways or soil courses. Later remove absorbent material to waste disposal site.

Environmental

Do not wash WD-40 contamination into drains and waterways.

Cleanup methods

Wipe affected areas with white spirit or turpentine substitute and allow to dry. When dry wash affected areas with soapy water. Layer with sawdust or absorbent material. Sweep/shovel into refuse bins.

Materials: white spirit, turpentine substitute, soapy water, sawdust or absorbent material

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Respiratory protection: Advised when concentration of solvent vapour exceeds TLV. Protective gloves: Advised when skin comes into contact with WD-40 regularly or to prevent possible skin irritation. Eye protection: Factory or industrial users are advised to wear protection to guard against potential eye contact.

Storage

aerosols should be kept away from sources of ignition or ambient temperatures above 50°Celsius. Do not store large quantities of WD-40 aerosols in unventilated bunkers or enclosures. Keep out of reach of children.

Fire prevention

Do not spray on naked flame or any incandescent material. No Smoking near expelled product. aerosols should be kept away from sources of ignition
