3.11.4 Ingestion
WARNING
The major health threat of ingestion
occurs from the danger of aspiration
(breathing) of liquid drops into the lungs,
particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may
result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the
lungs), severe lung damage, respiratory failure,
and even death. Ingestion will cause
gastrointestinal disturbances, including
irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and
central nervous system (brain) effects similar to
alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors,
convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma,
respiratory arrest, and death may occur.
In case of ingestion DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical
attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean
victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration.
Monitor for breathing difficulties.
Small amounts of material which enter the
mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is
dissipated.
3.11.5 Eye Protection
WARNING
Safety glasses or goggles are
recommended where there is a possibility
of splashing or spraying. Contact with
liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation.
In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush
with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15
minutes. Hold eyelids open to ensure adequate
flushing. Seek medical attention.
3.11.6
Skin Protection
CAUTION
Contact with diesel fuel may cause skin
irritation with prolonged or repeated
contact. Wearing gloves constructed of
nitrile, neoprene, or PVC are recommended
when in close contact with diesel fuel. Chemical
protective clothing should also be worn. Long-
term, repeated exposure to diesel fuel may
cause skin cancer.
In case of contact with skin, remove
contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated
areas thoroughly with soap and water or
waterless hand cleanser. Obtain medical
attention if irritation or redness develops.
3.11.7 Storage Precautions
CAUTION
Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive
temperatures, and open flame. Keep
trailer fill port closed because an empty
tank may contain explosive vapors. Do not
pressurize, cut, heat, weld, or expose tanks to
sources of ignition.
Store the trailer in a well-ventilated area.
Avoid storage near incompatible
materials.
