FOREWORD
The Oil Industry in India is more than 100 years old. As such, a variety of practices
have been in vogue because of collaboration / association with different foreign companies
and governments. Standardisation in design philosophies and operating and maintenance
practices at a national level was hardly in existence. This, coupled with feed back from some
serious accidents that occurred in the recent past in India and abroad, emphasised the need for
the industry to review the existing state-of-the-art in designing, operating and maintaining oil
and gas installations.
With this in view, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in 1986 constituted a
Safety Council assisted by the Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) staffed from within the
industry for formulating and implementing a series of self regulatory measures aimed at
removing obsolescence, standardising and upgrading the existing standards to ensure safer
operations. Accordingly, OISD constituted a number of technical committees comprising of
experts nominated from the industry to draw up standards and guidelines on various subjects.
The present document Safe Handling of Hazardous Chemicals was prepared by the
Committee constituted for this purpose. This document was prepared based on the
accumulated experience and knowledge of industry members, and various national and
international codes and practices.
This document will be reviewed periodically for improvements based on the new
experiences and better understanding. Suggestions from industry members may be addressed

INTRODUCTION
In the Petroleum and Natural Gas Production and Processing Industry, a number of hazardous
chemicals are required to be stored and handled in appreciable quantities. In view of the
stringent product quality requirement, various complex processes are introduced involving
the handling of hazardous chemicals. Some additives are sometimes introduced to meet the
quality requirement of various petroleum products. These chemicals pose various types of
hazards like flammability, toxicity, explosivity, corrosivity etc.
Inadequate awareness about the hazardous properties of these chemicals and products may
lead to serious accidents which will affect the men at work and the environment . The present
standard will help in facilitating the safe storage and handling of hazardous chemicals and in
avoiding accidents and occupational diseases.
2.0
SCOPE
This standard deals with the hazardous chemicals used in Petroleum and Natural Gas
exploration, production, processing, storage and transportation facilities, petrochemicals
manufacturing and additives for lubricating oil blending & markers for checking the
adultration in products like kerosene in motor spirit etc. This standard does not include
hazardous chemicals namely chemical dust, laboratory chemicals and radioactive materials
and also hazardous waste generated during the process of manufacture. The safety data
sheets appended as schedule 1 have been prepared as per the proforma given in Schedule 9 of
Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989.
3.0
DEFINITION
3.1
SYNONYMS: For common chemicals, several chemical names and numerous trade
names may be applied to describe the chemical in question In synonyms field, many of these
names are identified to aid users on the range of names which have been used to describe
each substance.
3.2 CAS NO. : Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a numeric designation
assigned by American Chemical Societys Chemical Abstracts Service and uniquely
identifies a specific chemical compound. This entry allows one to conclusively identify a
material regardless of the name or naming system used.
3.3 UN NUMBER: The united nations number is a four figure code used to identify
hazardous chemicals and is used for identification of chemicals transported internally by
road, rail and by air.
3.4 Hazardous Waste ID. No. : This means the categories of wastes specified in the
schedule in The Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement)
Rules, 2008.
3.5 FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS
(i)
Flammable Gases : Gases which at 20oC and at standard pressure of 101.3 KPa are:
10
(a) ignitable when in a mixture of 13 percent or less by volume with air, or ;

(b) have a flammable range with air of at least 12 percentage points regardless of the
lower flammable limits.
Note: The flammability shall be determined by tests or by calculation in accordance
with methods adopted by International Standards Organisation ISO Number 10156 of
1990 or by Bureau of Indian Standard ISI Number 1446 of 1985.
(ii)
Extremely flammable liquids : Chemicals which have been flash point lower than
or equalt to 23oC and boiling point less than 35oC.
(iii)
Very highly flammable liquids : Chemicals which have a flash point lower than or
equal to 23oC and initial boiling point higher than 35oC.
(iv)
Highly flammable liquids : Chemicals which have a flash point lower than or equal
to 60oC but higher than 23oC.
(v)
Flammable liquids : Chemicals which have a flash point higher than 60oC but lower
than 90oC.
3.6 FLAMMABLE (EXPLOSIVE) LIMIT AND RANGE

In the case of gases or vapour, which form flammable mixtures with air, there is a minimum
concentration of vapour in air below which the propagation of flame does not occur in
contact with a source of ignition. This is called Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). Similarly,
there is a maximum concentration of vapour above which the propagation of flame does not
occur on contact with a source of ignition. This is called Upper Explosive Limit (UEL). This
range of minimum to maximum concentration is termed as Flammable (Explosive) range.
The flammable limits are not appreciably changed by normal variations in atmospheric
pressure and temperature. However, at high temperatures, the upper limit is raised and the
lower limit lowered, resulting in greater flammable or explosive range. The effect of high
pressures on the limits is different for each gas or vapour depending upon its nature.
3.7 TDG FLAMMABILITY
Transport of dangerous goods flammability is used in Canada and is based on Classification
of dangerous goods by UN Committee of experts on transport of danger goods. The classes
indicated are 2, 3, 4 and 5 which are same as indicated in The Central Motor Vehicle Rules
1989.
3.8 FLASH POINT
The minimum temperature at which the liquid gives so much vapour that this vapour, when
mixed with air, forms an ignitable mixture and gives a momentary flash on application of a
small pilot flame under specified conditions of test.
11
3.9 AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE

The lowest temperature at which ignition occurs in a mixture of explosive gas and air when
the method specified in IS: 7820-1975 is followed.
3.10 EXPLOSIVES
Explosives mean a solid or liquid or pyrotechnic substance (or a mixture of substances) or an
article.
(a) Which is in itself capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such a temperature
and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings.
(b) which is designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a
combination of these as the result of non-detonative self sustaining exothermic chemical
reaction.
3.11 CORROSIVE CHEMICALS
Chemicals, which will cause damage to the living tissue and/or chemically attack metallic
containers and structures are corrosive chemicals.
3.12 OXIDISING SUBSTANCES (OXIDISER):
Oxidising substances are those substances which readily give of oxygen or other oxidiging
substances (such as bromine, chrolone or florine). They also include materials that react
chemically to oxidize combustible materials; this means that oxygen combines chemically
with the other material in a way that increases the chance of fire or explosion. This reaction
may be spontaneous at either room temperature or may occur under slight heating. These
materials can be severe fire and explosion hazards.
3.13 PYROPHORIC SUBSTANCES
Chemicals which are so reactive that on contact with air and its moisture, oxidation/
hydrolysis occurs at such a rate so as to cause ignition, i.e. its auto ignition temperature is
below the room temperature. Some of these reactions liberate flammable gases.
3.14 ORGANIC PEROXIDES
Organic peroxide means an organic compound that contains the bivalent o-o- structure and
which may be considered to be a structural derivative of hydrogen peroxide where one or
both of hydrogen atoms has been replaced by an organic radical.
3.15 TOXIC CHEMICALS
Toxicity is the degree to which a substance is able to damage an exposed organism.
Chemicals having the following values of acute toxicity and which owing to their physical &
chemical properties, are capable of producing major accident hazards :
12
ORAL TOXICITY
Medium lethal dose
by oral route (oral toxicity)
LD50 (mg/kg body
weight of test animals)
1. Extremely toxic
2. Highly toxic
3. Toxic
DERMAL TOXICITY
INHALATION TOXICITY
Medium lethal dose
Medium lethal concentration

> 40 - 200
>200 1000
< 0.5
0.5-2.0
> 2 - 10
3.16 INCOMPATIBLE CHEMICALS

These are chemical substances which in contact with each other cause hazardous reactions
which may be violent or produce toxic materials.
3.17
TLV (THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE)
The term refers to concentrations of air contaminants in the working environment to which it
is believed, nearly all workers may be exposed repeatedly day after day without adverse
effect. Normally, it is the time weighted average concentration in ppm or gm/m3 for a normal
8-hour work day or 40 hour workweek. Excursions above this limit may occur if they are
compensated during the workday, by equivalent excursion below the limit.
3.18 STEL (SHORT TERM EXPOSURE LIMIT)
It is defined as a 15 minutes time weighted average exposure, which should not be exceeded
at any time during a workday even if the 8 hours time weighted average is within the TLV.
Exposure at the STEL should not be longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more
than four times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes interval between successive
exposures at the STEL. An averaging period other than 15 minutes may be recommended
when this is warranted by observed biological effects.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
4.1 NFPA (704M) PICTORIAL REPRESENTATION OF HAZARD
NFPA pictorial representations consist of a diamond as shown in the figure below, divided
into 4 parts. These parts, starting from left block (in clockwise direction), represent Health
Hazard, Flammability Hazard, Reactivity Hazard and Space for additional information such
as water reactivity, oxidant and radiation hazard. The colour codes for these hazards are :
blue for health, red for flammability, yellow for reactivity and colourless for additional
information.
These are rated on a scale of 0 (no hazard) to 4 (extreme hazard). The ratings
for individual substances can be found in the NFPA Fire Protection Guide to
Hazardous Materials.
13
4.1.1
HEALTH
Rating 4 : A few whiffs of the gas or vapour could cause death or the gas, vapour or liquid
could be fatal on penetrating the fire fighters normal full protective clothing which is
designed for resistance to heat. For most chemicals having a Health 4 rating, the normal full
protective clothing available to the average fire department will not provide adequate
protection against skin contact with these materials. Only special protective clothing
designed to protect against the specific hazard should be worn.
Rating 3 : Materials extremely hazardous to health, but areas may be entered with extreme
care. Full protective clothing, including self- contained breathing apparatus, rubber gloves,
boots and bands around legs, arms and waist should be provided. No skin surface should be
exposed.
Rating 2 : Materials hazardous to health, but areas may be entered freely with self-contained
breathing apparatus.
Rating 1 : Materials only slightly hazardous to health. It may be desirable to wear selfcontained breathing apparatus.
Rating 0 : Materials which on exposure under fire conditions would offer no health hazard
beyond that of ordinary combustible material.
4.1.2 FLAMMABILITY
Rating 4 : Very flammable gases, very volatile flammable liquids, and materials that in the
form of dusts or mists readily form explosive mixtures when dispersed in air. Shut off flow
of gas or liquid and keep cooling water streams on exposed tanks or containers. Use water
spray carefully in the vicinity of dusts so as not to create dust clouds.
Rating 3 : Liquids, which can be ignited under almost, all normal temperature conditions.
Water may be ineffective on these liquids because of their low flash points.
14
Solids which form coarse dusts, solids in shredded or fibrous form that create flash fires,
solids that burn rapidly, usually because they contain their own oxygen, and any material that
ignites spontaneously at normal temperatures in air.
Rating 2 : Liquids which must be moderately heated before ignition will occur and solids that
readily give off flammable vapours. Water spray may be used to extinguish the fire because
the material can be cooled to below its flash point.
Rating 1 : Materials that must be pre-heated before ignition can occur. Water may cause
frothing of liquids with this flammability rating number if it gets below the surface of the
liquid and turns to steam.
However, water spray gently applied to the surface will cause a frothing which will
extinguish the fire. Most combustible solids have flammability rating of 1.0 Materials that
will not burn.
4.1.3 REACTIVITY
Rating 4 : Materials which in themselves are readily capable of detonation or of explosive
decomposition or explosive reaction at normal temperatures and pressures. Includes
materials, which are sensitive to mechanical or localized thermal shock. If a chemical with
this hazard rating is in an advanced or massive fire, the area should be evacuated.
Rating 3 : Materials which in themselves are capable of detonation or of explosive
decomposition or of explosive reaction but which require a strong initiating source or which
must be heated under confinement before initiation. Includes materials which are sensitive to
thermal or mechanical shock at elevated temperature and pressure or which react explosively
with water without requiring of confinement. Fire fighting should be done from an
explosion-resistant location.
Rating 2 : Materials which in themselves are normally unstable and readily undergo violent
chemical change but do not detonate. Includes materials which can undergo chemical change
with rapid release of energy at normal temperatures and pressures or which can undergo
violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures. Also includes those
materials which may react violently with water or which may form potentially explosive
mixtures with water. In advanced or massive fires, fire fighting should be done from a
protected location.
Rating 1 : Materials which in themselves are normally stable but which may become
unstable at elevated temperature and pressure or which may react with water with some
release of energy but not violently. Caution must be used in approaching the fire and
applying water.
Rating 0 : Materials which are normally stable even under fire exposure conditions and
which are not reactive with water. Normal fire fighting procedures may be used.
Explanation for bottom space (Colourless) : The bottom space is primarily used to identify
unusual reactivity with water. With a line through its centre alerts fire fighting personnel to
the possible hazard in use of water. This bottom space may also be used to identify a
15
radiation hazard by the symbol. Oxidising chemicals are identified in the bottom space, as
OXY.
4.2 HAZCHEM CODE: Hazchem code provides vital information to fire brigade and other
emergency services on the action to be taken to combat spilage, leakage or fire in an
emergency involving hazardous substance.
The Central Motor Vehicle Rules requires that the vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals
to display Emergency Information Panel (EIP). The EIP requires display of Hazchem code
(also called the emergency action code).
The Hazchem code consistst of a number from 1-4
(A) and any one of the letters P, R. S,
T, W, X, Y, Z (B) followed by at times by the letter E .
A
The number (in place of A above) signify extinguishing medium to be employed as

given below :
1. JETS 2. FOG 3. FOAM 4. DRY AGENT
The letters ( in place of B above) signify three aspects viz.

1. Method of controlling spillage (a) By diluting
or
(b) By containing
2. Personnal protective equipment to be worn by the fire fighters
3. Reactive nature of chemicals
If letter E exists then, need for equacuation E exist
16
The fire service personnel should carry the hazchem code scale and the notes for
guidance as given below :
Example :
The Hazchem code for motor spirit (Petrol ) is 3YE as shown above.
3 use foam only
Y can be violently (V) reactive. Breathing apparatus + Protective Gloves to be used in case
of fire. PPE is not a requirement in case of spillage. Any spillage of the substance should be
contained.
E Consider evacuation as a first priority.

Utmost care is necessary in ensuring proper and safe storage facility for
hazardous chemicals. The following points should be given due weightage to
avoid any mishap.
(i)
Attempt should be made to find suitable less hazardous alternate

chemicals, to replace the hazardous chemical. The inventory of all
hazardous chemicals for that matter must be kept as minimum as
possible.
(ii)
The tanks should be located so as not to pose safety problems due to

leakage and reaction with other chemicals stored nearby. The
environment at the location should be suitable for the chemical stored.
The storage area should be declared as a prohibited area and should be
provided with fencing having at least two exits / No Smoking and/or
Prohibited Area display boards, as applicable should be provided at
site.
(a)
Oxidising Agents : Oxidising substances must be stored away

from all flammable materials even if they are only slightly
flammable. Oxidising material must be kept away from
substance which are reducing agents.
(b)
Water Sensitive Substances : These substances react with water

or steam to produce flammable or explosive gases and evolve
heat, eg.. Conc. acids like sulphuric acid, glacial ethnoic acid
etc. Conc. Alkali like sodium hydroxide react with water later
to evolve heat. Such materials must not be stored in areas
where water flooding from pipe leakages or leaky roofs can
happen.
(c)
Toxic Substances : These substances must be stored in well

ventilated areas, preferably cool and certainly away from direct
sun rays. Periodic checks should be organised for all parts of
storage areas. Extremely toxic substances like TEL (Tetra
19
Ethyl Lead) must be stored separately under strict security.

(d)
Incompatible Chemicals : Incompatible chemicals should not be

stored near each other.
(e)
Corrosive Chemicals : The flooring of the area where corrosive

chemicals are stored, shall be impervious and made of corrosion
resistant materials.
(iii)
The storage tank and foundation should be of suitable material of

construction to prevent corrosion.
(iv)
The connections and openings to the tank should be as minimum as

possible so that the possibility of leakage and maintenance hazards are
minimized.
(v)
The tanks should be fitted with vents/relief systems of adequate capacity

discharging to a safe height. Capacity requirement in case of high
vapour evolution resulting from heating due to fire of adjacent tank
also should be considered. Wherever atmospheric release of the
vapour is not advisable, the relief should be routed to a neutralising
system. Flame arrestors are recommended for the vents of atmospheric
storage tanks containing Class A (flash point less than 23 degree
centigrade) chemicals. The location of flame arrestor must be easily
accessible for periodic inspection to ensure that flame arrestor is free
of any choking.
(vi)
The tank should have provision for emergency evacuation of its stock
to a safer location in case of emergency like fire, tank failure etc. using
suitable pump out system. Use of double isolation valve gate and
globe valve in series on the drain-out line is recommended.
(vii)
Each storage tank should have necessary instruments to monitor its

level, pressure and temperature preferably with remote indications at
control room or field operators cabins. Abnormal rise in level /
pressure / temperature should alert control room by alarm. Quite often,
the level gauges pose problems of choking, leakage from drain
connections, leakage from broken gauge glasses leading to accidents.
Hence, it is suggested to have guarded, illuminated level gauges.
Level gauges should have provision for in-situ cleaning.
Wherever possible any leakage of hazardous chemicals must be
detected and alarm should be annunciated at control room.
(viii) The tank should have a dyke of suitable material (compatible with the
chemical) of volume equal to the volume of the larger storage tank. The
dyke should have facility to:
(a)
(b)
drain off rain water into storm water channel ;

route high volume spillage / leakage to suitable neutralizing pit
20
(c)
nearby ;
discharge safe effluent to oily water system, as applicable.
The isolation valves on dyke drains should be located outside the dyke.
(ix)
Fire access roads should be provided to storage area. The storage tanks
/ area should have suitable fire protection and fire fighting facility.
(x)
Adequate communication facility like public address / telephone must be

made available for interacting with control room, fire stations, medical
units etc.
(xi) The name of chemical, type of hazard, emergency operational

instructions, antidote, first aid etc. should be displayed near each tank.
(xii) Electrical Safety : All cables and electric fittings shall be constructed,
installed, protected, operated and maintained in such a manner so as to
prevent risk of open sparking.
6.1.2
STORAGE OF CHEMICALS IN DRUMS / OTHER CONTAINER

This section has to be read in continuation with previous section (6.2.1) as
most of the above guidelines for bulk storage apply to drums / others
containers storage. In fact, drum storage of hazardous chemicals (liquids)
pose potential hazard compared to bulk storage in that
(a) each drum of a cluster of drum can become a source of leakage;
(b) the drums normally being less resistant to fire would collapse faster
escalating and spreading of fire to other drums of the stack. Hence following
guidelines Shall be considered in addition to those discussed in 6.2.1 :
(i)
The drums should never be filled full with the liquid chemical. There
should be sufficient ullage to take care of thermal expansion.
(ii)
The drums should preferably be stored in a well ventilated shed

(preferably away from process units) with impermeable floor sloping
away from drums.
(iii)
There should be provision to collect accidental spills for safe disposal.
(iv)
The drums should be stacked in a single tier with lid position as

recommended by manufacturer for safe storage.
(v)
Empty drums should be removed away and made free of its contents
before being kept in safe place.
(vi)
Periodic site inspection should be carried out to ensure that there is no

leakage from any of the drums.
(vii)
Where combustible solid materials are stored, the dust content of the
air must be kept below the lower explosive limit. Efficient dust
21
collection system and good house keeping should be ensured.

6.1.3
STORAGE OF COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS

The nature of chemical gas apart, the high pressure of storage amplifies the
hazard of the storage gas cylinders. Following are the recommended
guidelines for storage of cylinders :
(i)
Cylinders should be protected adequately from variation in

temperatures. They should be stored in cool, dry, well ventilated and
covered place away from steam pipes, furnace, boilers or any other
potential source of heat. Cylinder should not be kept near gangways /
elevators to avoid any hard object striking them.
(ii)
Cylinders containing flammable gases and toxic gases shall be kept

separated from each other and from cylinders containing other types of
gases be an adequate distance or by a suitable partition wall.
(iii)
Cylinders should be properly stacked taking care to prevent knocking,

dropping or rolling of cylinders.
(iv)
Cylinder nozzle should be suitably protected against damage. Oil or

similar lubricant should not be used on valves or other fittings of
cylinders containing gas.
(v)
In case of liquefied gas like liquid nitrogen, the cylinders should be

stacked vertical so that in case of defective regulator only gas would
escape.
(vi)
The cylinder valves should be provided with security cap on the outlet
to act as a secondary means of safeguard. If there is a leak in the valve
which cannot be rectified by tightening the gland nut or spindle, the
cylinder should be removed to an open space where it is less
dangerous to life & property and necessary remedial measures should
be taken.
(vii)
It is necessary that a) name of chemical ; b) state of chemical as to gas

or liquid ; c) pressure of the contents ; d) date of filling and e) name
and address of the source (manufacturer) should be labelled on the
cylinders.
(viii) The due date of test for cylinder should be marked on the metal ring
inserted between the cylinder valve and cylinder neck. If this date is
over, the cylinder should not be accepted.
(ix)
For inflammable gases, the cylinder storage area should be made of

non combustible materials and flame proof fittings should be used.
(x)
The floor level at storage area should be sufficiently above ground

level to prevent water logging and corrosion. Flooring of the storage
22
area should not be wet or muddy.

(xi)
Filled and empty cylinders should be tagged and kept separately.
(xii)
The storage area should be fenced and marked as Prohibited Area with
NO SMOKING WARNINGS and should have at least two exits.
(xiii) Periodic inspection of cylinders for ascertaining leakage should be

made. Automatic gas detectors where applicable should be provided at
suitable points so that in case of leakage, alarm is hooted at control
room.
(xiv)
Emergency kit, safety protective equipment and clothing should be

available in close vicinity to storage area.
(xv)
Adequate and suitable fire extinguishers must be available at site.
(xvi)
For proper identification of the chemical all cylinders shall have the
proper colour as Rule 8 of The Gas Cylinders Rules 1981.

Neutralize small liquid spillage with soda ash & drain
with abundant water. Cover pool with protein foam,
so that the release of vapour to atmosphere is low and
under control
In case of large gas escapes, the presence of cloud can be marked with Ammonia with which it will turn into a mist. Run
away from the gas clouds in a direction perpendicular to the wind direction. Avoid liquid chlorine from leaking and body
contact. Persons with pulmonary diseases should avoid the exposure. A concentration of 3.5 ppm produces a detectable
odour. 15 ppm causes immediate irritation of the throat. Concentration of 50 ppm are dangerous for even short exposures.
1000 ppm is fatal. Can react to cause fires/explosion on contact with Turpentine, illuminating gas, Polypropylene, Rubber,
Sulfamic Acid, Acetaldehyde, Alcohols. Bring the leaking portion of the cylinder to the uppermost position, so that only the
gas escapes and not the liquid.

HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry
Inhalation: The major effects of acute exposure to HCL are usually limited to upper
Respiratory tract. Exposure to the gas causes cough, burning of the throat and larynx and
Choking feeling, inflammation and ulceration of the nose, throat and larynx. Exposure to
Higher concentration may cause laryngeal spasm, and oedema of the lungs and vocal
Cords. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause dental decolouration and erosion.
Gastritis and chronic bronchitis have also been reported in exposed workers.
Giddiness, Mental confusion and nausea.
Skin contact: Cause skin burns and may produce keloid and rectile scarring. Facial burns
May result in serious and disfiguring scars. Frequent contact with dilute acid may cause
Dermatitis and photo-senstisation may result from industrial contact.
Eye Contact: Hydrochloric acid is a strong eye irritant and contact with the acid may
Cause burns, reduced vision and total blindness.
Ingestion: Ingestion of HCL causes severe burns and corrosion of mouth esophagus and
Stomach. Symptom include dysphasia, pain, nausea, vomiting , Diarrhea and thirst.
Circulatory collapse may occur and ingestion may lead to fatal effects from esophageal
Or gastric necrosis.
Symptoms
Emergency Treatment
Eye: Wash eye with flowing water for 10 minutes.

Lung: Remove casualty from area of exposure. If unconscious, do not give anything to
Drink, give artificial ventilation, chest compression or place in the recovery position, if
Conscious give oxygen if available.

A powerful Oxidising and Corrosive material. Although many mixture H2O2 and Organic Materials do not
explode upon contact, the resultant combination is detonable either upon catching fire or by impact. That
detonation velocity of aqueous solution of H2O2 have been found to be about 8500m second for between 95wt.
% and 100wt.
H2O2 Another source of H2O2 explosion is from sealing the material in strong containers.
Under such condition, even gradual decomposition of H2O2 to H2O O2 can cause large pressures to build up in
the containers which may then burst explosively. A solution of H2O2 of 35wt.% and over can cause blistering
of the skin. The eyes are particularly sensitive to this material. It is use as a general purpose food additive. It
migrates to food from packaging materials.
Service/location: Used in waste water treatment plant for neutralizing sulphides.

TCLO 30 mg/m3 (ihe hmm). The most valuable commercially is the Gamma form, which has a strong tendency to
polymerise to straight chain Beta form & subsequently to the cross-linked Alpha form. When Beta or Alpha form
melted, they tend to revert to Gamma form - liquid or ice-cold crystals. The difference in vapour pressure explains the socalled Alpha explosion. Heating of high melting SO3 in glass vessels should be avoided to prevent possible shattering of
the containers. Absolutely dry SO3 is not corrosive to metals. On exposure to air, it absorbs moisture rapidly, emitting
dense white fumes. Combines with water with high explosive violence forming H2SO4.

person handling this. Potassium Permanganate in water is
the preferred reagent.
An experimental carcinogen and teratogen - particularly toxic to CNS. Being a lipoid solvent, it can cause intoxication by
inhalation as well as absorption through skin. Decomposition or exposure to sun light or on evaporation from TEL which is
also a poisonous compound. May cause lead exposure intoxication by coming in contact with skin. A gasoline additive to
prevent knocking in motors. This compound explodes if confined at high temp. It is much more toxic compaired to

FIRE
EXPOSURE
SPILLS

Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical extinguishers, 'Purple K, Met-L-KYL' or equivalent.
Use large quantities of powder. Do not use water.
Unusual Hazards:
Extremely Pyrophoric liquid. Reacts violently with water, spraying
material around. In a closed system it can rupture vessel.
Hazards:
The TLV-C for hydrogen chloride is 5 PPM. Exposure to levels

above this ceiling is acutely irritating to the respiratory system.
Excessive exposure to aluminium oxide smoke may lead to metal
fume fever. The condition is transient and not serious. It usually
lasts less than 36 hours.
Steps to be taken:
Steps to be taken: If undiluted, the spill will ignite spontaneously. See section IV. Diluted
solutions may not ignite. However, the heat generated from the air
DEAC reaction will accelerate the vaporization of the solvent
created a greater hazard than an equivalent spill of solvent.
Waste Disposal Method: Disposal of waste will be carried out only under specific
instruction from the polymer area supervision.

HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry
Effects of Exposure
Inhalation:
Parathern NF has a low vapor pressure and is not

expected to present an inhalatin hazard at ambient
conditions. Caution should be taken to prevent
aerosolization or misting. The prmissible exposure
limit (PEL) and threshold limit valve (TLV) for the
fluid as oil mist is 5 mg/m3. Exposures below 5 mg/m3
appear to be without significant health risk.
Ingestion:
Ingestin is relatively non-toxic unless aspiration occurs,

Parathern NF has laxative properties and may result in
abdominal cramps and diarrhea. See personal health
protection section below.
Skin Contact:
Parathem NF is not expected to cause any skin irritation

hower, similar chemical compositon products applied to
the skin of laboratory animals resulted in minimal to
slight dermal irritation.
Skin Absorption:
Eye Contact:
Paratherm NF is non irritating to the eyes upon direct

contact.
Symptoms

TLV (ACGIH)
NFPA Hazard Signals
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water and

continue flushing for 15 minutes. If fluids is hot, treat for
thermal burns and take victim to hospital immediately.
Skin Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing. If fluid is hot, submerge

injured area in cold water. If victim is severely burned, take
to a hospital immediately.
Inhalation:
Paratherm NF has a low vapour pressure and is not expected

to prevent an inhalation hazard at ambient conditons. If
vapour or mist is generated when the fluid is heated or
handled, remove victim from exposure. If breathing has
stopped or is irregular, administer artificial respiration and
supply oxygen if it is available. If victim is unconscious
remove to fresh air and seek medical attention. Do not use
compressed oxygen in hgydrocarbon atmospheres.
Ingestion:
May act as a laxative. Do not induce vomiting due to

possible aspiration. If vomiting occurs, lower head below
knees to avoid aspiration. Seek immediate medical
attention.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Eye protection I s not required under conditions of normal use. If the fluid
is handled such tht it could be splashed into eyes, wear plastic face shield or
splash-proof safty goggles. No skin protection is required for single, short
duration exposure. For prolonged or repeated exposures, use impervious
synthetic rubber clothing (boots glves, aprons, etc.) over parts of the body
subject to exposure. If handling hot fluid, use insulated protective clothing
(boots glves, aprons, etc.) Respiratory protectin is not required under
conditions of normal use. If vapour or mist is generated when the fluid is
heated or handled, use an organic vapour respirator with a dust and mist
filter. Do not use compressed oxygen in hydrocarbon atmospheres. If
vapour or mist is generated when the fluid is heated or handled, adequate
ventilation in accordance with good engineering practice must be provided
to maintain concentrations below the specified exposure or flammable
mimits. Consumption of food and beverages should be avoided in work
areas where hydrocarbons are present. Always wash hands and face with
soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking.
Handling and Storage Precautions: Do not transfer to unmarked containers. Store in closed containers away
from heat, sparks, open flame, or oxidizing materials paratherm NF is not
classified as hazardous under DOT regulations. Fire extinguishers shoul
be kept readily available.

Routes of Entry
Effects of Exposure
Skin:
Moderate irritant effect, repeated skin exposure to

largequantities may result in absorption of harmful
amounts. The dermal LD50 has not been determined.
Eyes:
May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation,

Corneal injury is unlikely. Vapors or mists may irritate
Inhalation:
At room temperature, vapors are minimal due to low

vapor pressure. If heated or sprayed as an aerosol,
concentrations may be attained that are sufficient to
cause irritation and other effects.
Ingestion:
Single dose oral toxicity is moderate. Excessive

exposure may cause central nervous system effects,
cardiopulmonary effects (metabolic acidosis), and
kidney failure. The estimated lethal dose for an
average person is 100 ml. The oral LD50 for rats is in
13,000 ng/kg range. Amounts ingested incidental to
industrial handling are not likely to cause injury;
however ingestion of larger amounts could cause
serious injury, even death.
Symptoms
Emergency Treatment
L.D50 (Oral-Rat)
Skin: Wash off in flowing water or shower

Eyes: Irrigate immediately with water for at least 5 minutes
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air if effects occur, Consult a physician
Ingestion: If swallowed, induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical
personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

The most accepted system is Dry Chemical Powder

Which works as effectively on Ethanol fire as being
used for MS fire.
Ethanol comes under Class A hence all safety precautions
need to be taken as required for Class A products.

Do not allow entering sewers where vapours may get ignited ,
incinerate. Follow local regulations.
Presently as per MOPNG guidelines 5% Ethanol is blended with Motor Spirit which reduces the exhaust
emissions. At operating temperature, the catalytic converter in an Ethanol Doped Motor Gasoline vehicle is very
efficient at breaking down aldehydes in to less harm full chemicals.
