Kerosene & Gas Oil Fuels (Mineral Oils)
Avoid as far as is possible any skin contact with mineral oils or with materials contaminated with
mineral oils. The effects of mineral oils on the skin may vary according to exposure:
1) May remove the protective grease normally present on the surface of the skin, rendering it dry,
liable to crack and more prone to damage caused by cuts and abrasions.
2) May result in skin rashes. Seek immediate medical attention for any rash, wart or sore
developing on any part of the body, especially the scrotum.
Never breathe any mineral oil vapours. Do not fire the burner in the open (i.e. not properly situated
in the boiler) as misfiring may result in unburned oil vapours.
When handling mineral oils, a suitable barrier cream containing lanolin is highly recommended,
along with a strict routine of personal cleaning.
Under no circumstances should mineral oils be taken internally.
