4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Hydraulic oil Hydrol L-HM/HLP 15

Page 2 of 7

Respiratory
system:

At ambient temperatures, the oil does not display harmful impact on the respiratory system
thanks to the low content of non-volatile components. The risk of inhalation exists only in
the case of the product forming a mist or being heated. Provide access of fresh air. If no
recovery is observed, ensure medical assistance.

Skin:

Wash with plenty water with soap. Should an irritation develop, ensure medical assistance.
If the skin is exposed to contact with high pressure mist, the product may penetrate into the
organism. Should this occur, contact a physician even if no negative symptoms are
observed.

Eyes:

Rinse open eyes with water for 15 minutes. Should an irritation develop, ensure medical
assistance.

Ingestion:

Due to organoleptic properties of the product, little probability of ingestion occurs. Do not
induce vomiting. Do not administer anything orally. If no recovery is observed, ensure
medical assistance.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Recommended
extinguishing media:

Foam, water mist, dry extinguishing chemical powders, CO

2

, sand or soil only in the

event of small fires.

Protective means:

Complete protective clothing with individual self-contained breathing apparatus.

Unsuitable
extinguishing media:

Do not use condensed streams of water onto the burning liquid surface. It results in
scattering the fire centres. Sprayed water or water mist may be applied for cooling.

Fire fighting hazards:

Vapours are generated in high temperatures which, when mixed with air and contact
with a source of ignition may burn in the open space or explode in a contained room.
Product vapours are heavier than air and may spread over long distances close to the
ground level and, meeting a source of ignition (flame), they may cause ignition again.
Highly dispersed product mist may ignite below the standardized flashpoint. Burning
fluid may float on water surface.

Combustion products:

Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides and other health-hazardous gases.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal (individual)
protection measures:

Avoid contact with skin and eyes, use coated clothing and rubber-soled shoes.

Environmental protection
(precautions) – large spills:

Contain large spills with sand, soil or absorbing material barriers. Collect the
released material using equipment available and place it into a sealed, properly
labelled container for further recovery or storage in a suitable place. The residue
treat as a small spill.

Environmental protection
(precautions) – small spills:

Collect the released residue having mixed the spill with soil, sand or another
absorbent, using available equipment, and place it into a sealed, properly
labelled container to be stored in a suitable place.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING PROCEDURES:
User protection:

Use adequate ventilation in the cases of conditions resulting in vapour or mist
generation. Apply all measures to limit the risk of contact, especially with used oil.
Keep away from inflammable materials, food and drinks.
During handling and storage, follow the general work safety and hygiene as well as
fire rules and regulations, the use of protective chemical goggles and suitable
protecting clothing is recommended.

Explosion or fire
protection (precautions):

Empty containers and tanks may contain inflammable or explosive vapours.
Welding, heating, cutting or drilling of tanks or containers with oil or its residue,
after emptying, is prohibited. The residue of oil left behind in containers, as a result
of high temperature, may generate explosive vapour mixture (oil mist) which may
cause explosion.
Clothing, paper and rags (cloth, lint) used to remove spilled oil, soaked with the oil,
pose a fire hazard – avoid accumulating such materials. Get them disposed of
immediately after use following adequate precautions.

Precautions:

Reduce fire hazard using machines and equipment in an appropriate way:

Hydraulic oil Hydrol L-HM/HLP 15

Page 3 of 7

-

to avoid spilling or splashing the oil over heated or live machinery parts.

-

to prevent oil mist generation especially in pressure systems, remembering that
fire hazard increases when mist concentration reaches the level of approx. 45
g/m

3

.

-

to avoid prolonged or repeated contact of skin with the oil or oil-soaked clothes.

-

In the event of skin contact immediately wash the affected (soiled) place with
plenty of water and soap.

-

Do not use abrasive (scouring) agents or kerosene solvents for body washing
purposes.

-

Immediately change the contaminated working clothing.

-

Do not inhale vapour and/or mist.

-

Avoid contact of the substance with strong oxidants.

-

When handling the product, do not eat, drink or smoke.

-

Use only hydrocarbon-resistant containers, connections and equipment.

STORAGE

Conditions:

Store in room temperature, protect from contact with water or moisture, keep away
from sources of ignition.
Keep containers legibly labelled and sealed.
Make efforts to prevent the release of the product to the ground and water.

Contraindications:

Avoid contact with oxidants.
Store away from heating devices.

Packaging:

Use hydrocarbon-resistant packaging (containers). Use of original manufacturer’s
containers is recommended.

SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS: -

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

Use well-ventilated rooms, if there is a risk of oil mist generation, use closed
circulation systems and good ventilation.

Skin protection:

Requires no special protection, though to minimise the potential risk, the use of
protective clothing and oil resistant protective gloves is recommended.

Eyes protection:

Requires no special protection, though the use of protective chemical goggles is
a good practice.

Respiratory system
protection:

In normal conditions it does not require special protection.
If there is a risk of exceeding the permissible concentration limits or of oil mist
generation, protective masks should be used.
