KEROSENE & GAS OIL FUELS (MINERAL OILS)
1.
The effect of mineral oils on the skin vary according to the duration of exposure.
2.
The lighter fractions also remove the protective grease normally present on the surface of the
skin rendering the skin dry, liable to crack and more prone to damage caused by cuts and
abrasions.
3.
Skin rashes (oil acne). Seek immediate medical attention for any rash, wart or sore
developing on any part of the body, particularly the scrotum.
4.
Avoid as far as possible any skin contact with mineral oil or with clothing contaminated with
mineral oil.
5.
Never breathe any mineral oil vapours. Do not fire the Burner in the open i.e. out of the Boiler
as a misfire will cause unburnt oil vapours.
6.
Barrier cream containing lanolin such as Rosalex Antisolv, is highly recommended together
with a strict routine of personal cleaning.
7.
Under no circumstances should mineral oils be taken internally.
