______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate respiratory protection. Give supplemental
oxygen, if available. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device.

SKIN CONTACT
Remove contaminated clothing. Dry wipe exposed skin and cleanse with waterless hand cleaner and follow by
washing thoroughly with soap and water. For those providing assistance, avoid further skin contact to yourself
or others. Wear impervious gloves. Launder contaminated clothing separately before reuse. Discard
contaminated articles that cannot be laundered. For hot product: Immediately immerse in or flush affected
area with large amounts of cold water to dissipate heat. Cover with clean cotton sheeting or gauze and get
prompt medical attention.

EYE CONTACT
Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical assistance.

INGESTION
Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
If ingested, material may be aspirated into the lungs and cause chemical pneumonitis. Treat appropriately.
This material, or a component, may be associated with cardiac sensitization following very high exposures (well
above occupational exposure limits) or with concurrent exposure to high stress levels or heart-stimulating
substances like epinephrine. Administration of such substances should be avoided.

SECTION 5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Appropriate Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish
flames.

Inappropriate Extinguishing Media: Straight streams of water

FIRE FIGHTING
Fire Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the
vapours and to protect personnel attempting to stop a leak. Prevent run-off from fire control or dilution from
entering streams, sewers or drinking water supply. Fire-fighters should use standard protective equipment and
in enclosed spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire exposed
surfaces and to protect personnel.

Unusual Fire Hazards: Highly flammable. Vapour is flammable and heavier than air. Vapour may travel
across the ground and reach remote ignition sources, causing a flashback fire danger. Exposure to fire can
generate toxic fumes. Hazardous material. Firefighters should consider protective equipment indicated in
Section 8.

Hazardous Combustion Products: Hydrogen sulphide, Incomplete combustion products, Oxides of carbon,
Smoke, Fume, Sulphur oxides

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable
regulations.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding and downwind areas if
required, due to toxicity or flammability of the material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See the
Hazard Identification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for
advice on the minimum requirements for personal protective equipment. Additional protective measures may be
necessary, depending on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency responders.

For emergency responders: Respiratory protection: half-face or full-face respirator with filter(s) for organic
vapor and, when applicable, H2S, or Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used depending on
the size of spill and potential level of exposure. If the exposure cannot be completely characterized or an
oxygen deficient atmosphere is possible or anticipated, SCBA is recommended. Chemical goggles are
recommended if splashes or contact with eyes is possible. Work gloves that are resistant to aromatic
hydrocarbons are recommended. If contact with hot product is possible or anticipated, gloves should be heat-
resistant and thermally insulated. Note: gloves made of PVA are not water-resistant, and are not suitable for
emergency use. Small spills: normal antistatic work clothes are usually adequate. Large spills: full body suit
of chemical resistant, antistatic and, if necessary, heat resistant and thermal insulated material is
recommended.

SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop leak
if you can do so without risk. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch
or walk through spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. A
vapour-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapour. Large Spills: Water spray may reduce vapour, but
may not prevent ignition in enclosed spaces.

Water Spill: Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Eliminate sources of ignition. Warn other shipping. If
the Flash Point exceeds the Ambient Temperature by 10 deg C or more, use containment booms and remove
from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents when conditions permit. If the Flash Point does not
exceed the Ambient Air Temperature by at least 10C, use booms as a barrier to protect shorelines and allow
material to evaporate. Seek the advice of a specialist before using dispersants.

Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material;
however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction
and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Large Spills: Dyke far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways,
sewers, basements or confined areas.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING
H2S is present. Avoid all personal contact. Crude oils can contain trace levels of natural impurities including
heavy metals, such as mercury, nickel or lead, as well as naturally occurring radioactive material. As the
impurity content may concentrate during refining/processing, process operations, including equipment,
materials and products should be evaluated to identify and manage any potential risks to health, safety or the
environment or regulatory concerns.
Prevent exposure to ignition sources, for example use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Potentially toxic/irritating fumes/vapour may be evolved from heated or agitated material. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Do not enter storage areas or confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. The toxic
and olfactory (sense of smell) fatigue properties of hydrogen sulfide require that air monitoring alarms and
respiratory protection be used where the concentration might be expected to reach a harmful level, such as in
an enclosed space, heated transport vessel, or in a spill or leak situation.
Material may contain trace amounts of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM), which will
accumulate in process equipment and storage vessels. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard.
Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source). Use proper
bonding and/or ground procedures. However, bonding and grounds may not eliminate the hazard from static
accumulation. Consult local applicable standards for guidance. Additional references include American
Petroleum Institute 2003 (Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents) or
National Fire Protection Agency 77 (Recommended Practice on Static Electricity) or CENELEC CLC/TR 50404
(Electrostatics - Code of practice for the avoidance of hazards due to static electricity).

Static Accumulator: This material is a static accumulator. A liquid is typically considered a nonconductive,
static accumulator if its conductivity is below 100 pS/m (100x10E-12 Siemens per meter) and is considered a
semiconductive, static accumulator if its conductivity is below 10,000 pS/m. Whether a liquid is nonconductive
or semiconductive, the precautions are the same. A number of factors, for example liquid temperature,
presence of contaminants, anti-static additives and filtration can greatly influence the conductivity of a liquid.

STORAGE
Ample fire water supply should be available. A fixed sprinkler/deluge system is recommended. The type of
container used to store the material may affect static accumulation and dissipation. Keep container closed.
Handle containers with care. Open slowly in order to control possible pressure release. Store in a cool, well-
ventilated area. Outside or detached storage preferred. Storage containers should be earthed and bonded.
Fixed storage containers, transfer containers and associated equipment should be grounded and bonded to
prevent accumulation of static charge.

OTHER INFORMATION
For the product itself:
Target Organs Repeated Exposure: Blood, Liver, Spleen, Thymus

Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from vomiting may cause chemical pneumonitis or
pulmonary edema. Exposure to this material, or one of its components, in situations where there is the potential for
high levels, such as in confined spaces or with abuse, may result in abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). High-level
exposure to hydrocarbons (above occupational exposure limits) may initiate arrhythmia in a worker that is undergoing
stress or is taking a heart-stimulating substance such as epinephrine, a nasal decongestant, or an asthma or
cardiovascular drug.
Crude oil: Contains polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs). Prolonged and / or repeated exposure by skin or
inhalation of certain PACs may cause cancer of the skin, lung, and of other sites of the body. In animal studies, some
crudes produced skin tumors in mice, while other crudes produced no tumors. Developmental studies of crude oil in
lab animals showed reduced fetal weight and increased fetal resorptions at maternally toxic levels. Repeated dermal
exposure to crude oils in rats resulted in toxicity to the blood, liver, thymus, and bone marrow.

Contains:
BENZENE: Caused cancer (acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome), damage to the blood-producing
system, and serious blood disorders in human studies. Caused genetic effects and effects on the immune system in
laboratory animal and some human studies. Caused toxicity to the fetus and cancer in laboratory animal studies.
HYDROGEN SULPHIDE: Chronic health effects due to repeated exposures to low levels of H2S have not been
established. High level (700 ppm) acute exposure can result in sudden death. High concentrations will lead to
cardiopulmonary arrest due to nervous system toxicity and pulmonary edema. Lower levels (150 ppm) may overwhelm
sense of smell, eliminating warning of exposure. Symptoms of overexposure to H2S include headache, fatigue,
insomnia, irritability, and gastrointestinal problems. Repeated exposures to approximately 25 ppm will irritate mucous
membranes and the respiratory system and have been implicated in some eye damage. NAPHTHALENE: Exposure
to high concentrations of naphthalene may cause destruction of red blood cells, anemia, and cataracts. Naphthalene
caused cancer in laboratory animal studies, but the relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain.
N-HEXANE: Prolonged and/or repeated exposures to n-Hexane can cause progressive and potentially irreversible
damage to the peripheral nervous system (e.g. fingers, feet, arms, legs, etc.). Simultaneous exposure to Methyl Ethyl
Ketone (MEK) or Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) and n-Hexane can potentiate the risk of adverse effects from n-Hexane
on the peripheral nervous system. n-Hexane has been shown to cause testicular damage at high doses in male rats.
The relevance of this effect for humans is unknown. TOLUENE : Concentrated, prolonged or deliberate inhalation
may cause brain and nervous system damage. Prolonged and repeated exposure of pregnant animals (> 1500 ppm)
