5.5.1. Lubricating Oil Precautions - Health Hazard Information
The
Brobolube
lubricating fluid has no known adverse health effects. "
Brobolube
" is non-toxic, odourless, non-
flammable below approximately 350ºC, & non-corrosive, although it may affect some types of rubber. There are no
traces of sulfur, chlorine, phenol or nitrates found in
Brobolube
. When comes into contact with skin, the oil may be
removed by wiping away the excess, then washing the contaminated area with detergent & water. If the oil is utilized
at high temperatures, appropriate protective apparel should be worn as the oil could cause burns to skin or eyes. If
splashed by hot oil, immediately run cold water over the burn area & apply first aid burn treatment.
If the
Brobolube
delivery line breaks or becomes disconnected during operation, ensure that the air supply to the
system is disconnected before repairing the problem.
It is recommended that footwear with anti-slip soles be worn at all times. Any spills will result in potentially hazardous
slippery surfaces & should be dealt with promptly to prevent physical injury resulting from falls. Do not use coarsely,
combustible material like sawdust to soak up oil due to the potential risk of spontaneous combustion. Spilled oil
should be transferred into non-porous containers of suitable strength. Any remaining oil should be cleaned up with
sand or other non-combustible, absorbent material. Place the sand & oil mixture into containers & disposed of by
an EPA approved landfill or alternatively, by a suitable non-polluting method.
In addition, rags soaked in oil should not be burned. Do not pour oil down the drain, which would ultimately
contaminate the water supply & pollute the environment.
For firefighting purposes, either use CO2, dry chemical or foam retardant to extinguish the flames.
