4 – First Aid Measures


Ingestion (Swallowed): Aspiration Hazard. DO NOT induce vomiting. Call physician, poison control center
or the WD-40 Safety Hotline at 1-888-324-7596 immediately.
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water. Remove contact lenses if present after the first 5 minutes and
continue flushing for several more minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. If irritation develops and persists, get medical attention.
Inhalation (Breathing): If irritation is experienced, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if irritation or other
symptoms develop and persist.

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: May cause eye and respiratory irritation. Inhalation may cause
coughing, headache and dizziness. Skin contact may cause drying of the skin.

5 – Fire Fighting Measures


Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Do not use water jet or flooding
amounts of water. Burning product will float on the surface and spread fire.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should always wear positive pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Cool fire-exposed containers with water. Use shielding to
protect against bursting containers.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Contents under pressure. Keep away from ignition sources and
open flames. Exposure of containers to extreme heat and flames can cause them to rupture often with violent
force. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along surfaces to remote ignition sources and flash back.

6 – Accidental Release Measures


Wear appropriate protective clothing (see Section 8). Eliminate all sources of ignition and ventilate area.
Leaking cans should be placed in a plastic bag or open pail until the pressure has dissipated. Contain and
collect liquid with an inert absorbent and place in a container for disposal. Clean spill area thoroughly. Report
spills to authorities as required.

7 – Handling and Storage


Handling: Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Avoid breathing vapors or aerosols.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks, pilot lights, hot surfaces and open flames.
Unplug electrical tools, motors and appliances before spraying or bringing the can near any source of
electricity. Electricity can burn a hole in the can and cause contents to burst into flames. To avoid serious
burn injury, do not let the can touch battery terminals, electrical connections on motors or appliances or any
other source of electricity. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Keep containers closed when
not in use. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not puncture, crush or incinerate containers, even when
empty.
Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials Do not store above 120F or
in direct sunlight. U.F.C (NFPA 30B) Level 3 Aerosol.
