Section 6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

For non-emergency personnel : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through
spilt material. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
For emergency responders : If specialised clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note
of any information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials.
See also the information in "For non-emergency personnel".

Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil,
waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the
product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil
or air).

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute
with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-
insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an
appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste
disposal contractor.
Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent
entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash
spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows.
Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent
material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and
place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see
Section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section
13 for waste disposal.

Section 7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Protective measures : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Advice on general occupational : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where
hygiene this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash
hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove
contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering
eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on
hygiene measures.

Conditions for safe storage, : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original
including any incompatibilities container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10)
and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until
ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in
unlabelled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid
environmental contamination.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Control parameters

Occupational exposure limits

None.
Appropriate engineering controls : Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker
exposure to airborne contaminants.
Environmental exposure controls : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be
checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of
environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers,
filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be
necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Individual protection measures

Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical
products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the
end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to
remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated
clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be
used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid
exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is
possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the

Version: 1.0 Date of issue/Date of revision: 02.04.2016 Date of previous issue: 00.00.0000
 Vaseline Petroleum Jelly – All Variants Page:6/14

assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses

with side-shields.

Skin protection

Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved

standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical
products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Body protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based
on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be
approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Other skin protection : Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures
should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks
involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this
product.
Respiratory protection : Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying
with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or
anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe
working limits of the selected respirator.
