COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTSP reparation DescriptionA Grease composed of both highly-refined mineral oil and a synthetic oil thickened with clay, Components / ConstituentsExposure limits apply to the following components: Highly refined mineral HAZARDS IDENTIFICATIONEC ClassificationNot classified as Dangerous under EC Health HazardsNo specific hazards under normal use conditions. Prolonged or repeated exposure may give rise to Grease may contain harmful HazardsNot classified as flammable, but will Grease 16 Version No.

If symptoms persist, obtain contaminated clothing and wash affected skin with soap and water. If persistent irritation occurs, obtainmedical attention. If high pressure injection injuries occur, obtain medical attention eye with copious quantities of water. If persistent irritation occurs, obtain medical out mouth with water and obtain medical attention. Do not induce to DoctorTreat symptomatically. Aspiration into the lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis. Dermatitis may result fromprolonged or repeated pressure injection injuries require surgical intervention and possibly steroid therapy to minimise tissuedamage and loss of function. Because entry wounds are small and do not reflect the seriousness of theunderlying damage, surgical exploration to determine the extent of involvement may be necessary.

3 Localanaesthetics or hot soaks should be avoided because they can contribute to swelling, vasospasm andischaemia. Prompt surgical decompression, debridement and evacuation of foreign material should beperformed under general anaesthetics, and wide exploration is 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 chemicalpneumonitis. Children, and those in whom consciousness is impaired, will be more at risk. Emesis of lubricantsis not usually necessary, unless a large amount has been ingested, or some other compound has beendissolved in the product. If this is indicated, for example, when there is rapid onset of central nervous systemdepression from large ingested volume - gastric lavage under controlled hospital conditions, with full protectionof the airway is required. Supportive care may include oxygen, arterial blood gas monitoring, respiratorysupport, and, if aspiration has occurred, treatment with corticosteriods and antibiotics.

Avoid prolonged orrepeated contact with skin. When handling product in drums, safety footwear should be worn and properhandling equipment should be used. Prevent spillages. Cloth, paper and other materials that are used to absorbspills present a fire hazard. Avoid their accumulation by disposing of them safely and immediately. In addition toany specific recommendations given for controls of risks to health, safety and the environment, an assessmentof risks must be made to help determine controls appropriate to local circumstances. Exposure to this productshould be reduced as low as reasonably practicable. Reference should be made to the Health and SafetyExecutive's publication 'COSHH Essentials'.

8 Effective protection is only achieved by correctly fitting and well maintained equipment and employers shouldensure that appropriate training is given. All personal protective equipment should be regularly inspected andreplaced if ProtectionAt standard temperature and pressure, the Occupational Exposure Standard for oil vapour is unlikely to beexceeded. Care should be taken to keep exposures below applicable occupational exposure limits. If this cannotbe achieved, use of a respirator fitted with an organic vapour cartridge combined with a particulate pre-filtershould be considered.

Effective breakthrough time should be used with care and a margin of safety should beapplied. HSE guidance on protective gloves recommends a 75% safety factor to be applied to any figuresobtained in a laboratory test. Nitrile gloves may offer relatively long breakthrough times and slow permeationrates.
