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.

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
Extremely flammable liquids : Chemicals which have been flash point lower than
or equalt to 23oC and boiling point less than 35oC.

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
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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/REFERENCES
LC50 (rat): 1807 ppm/4H acute case of poisoning resulting from brief exposure to high concentrations seldom results in any
permanent disability if recovery takes place. Auditory disturbances and contractions of the visual fields have been
demonstrated. Glycosuria does occur and heart irregularities have been reported. Repeated exposure to low concentrations
of the gas upto 100 ppm in air is generally believed to cause no signs of poisoning or permanent damage can cause
asphyxiation by preventing hemoglobin from binding O2. After being removed from exposure the half life of its elimination
from the blood is one hour. A very dangerous explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Mixture of liquid CO with
liquid di-nitrogen-oxide is a rocket propellant combination. Ignites on contact with cesium oxide and water. Potentially
explosive reaction with iron (3) oxide between O-150oC. Exothermic reaction with ClF3, (Li+H2O), NF3, OF2, (K+O2),
Ag2O, (Na+NH3)
Generated at crackers and hydrogen generation units and used in CO boiler and reformer
furnace.

A suspected human carcinogen. Violent or explosive reaction on contact with fluorine. Potentially explosive reaction on
contact with boranes. Potentially dangerous reaction with dimethylene formamide, 1,2,3,4,5,6 - hexachloro-cyclohexane or
dimethylacetamide, when iron is present as catalyst. This has narcotic action similar to that of chloroform though not as
strong. Concentration of the order of 1000-1500 ppm is sufficient to cause symptoms if exposure continues for several
hours. Repeated daily exposure to such concentrations may result in poisoning. CC14 has caused explosions when used as
fire extinguisher on a wax fires and uranium fires.

shall be directed towards leaking containers.
Poisonous gases are produced in fire.
If inhaled, move the victim to fresh air area. If
chlorine comes in contact with eyes or skin, wash
with plenty of water under quick opening safety
shower and eye wash fountain. Seek medical aid
immediately for all types of exposures.
Not available.
Shut off leaks if without risk, Contain liquid with earth
or sand. Prevent the liquid from entering the sewer.
Vapours create toxic atmosphere. Knock down vapours
with water spray.
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
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/REFERENCES
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.

Routes of Entry
Effects of Exposure/
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.

is spilled, the first priority is to contain by dyking and dilute with water spray to reduce
fuming before neutralisation.
Waste Disposal Method: Ventilate the area and wear personal protective equipment. Add slowly to a
large amount of soda ash and slaked lime by stirring. Discharge the solution
with large amount of water into a sink lined with protective matting and
filled with chipped marbles. Carefully scoop up and wash down the drain
with plenty of running water. Allow 2-3 minutes between each stage as heat
is generated by neutralisation.

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.

Steps to be taken
Shut off leaks if without risk. For small spills, absorb with
Sand or other absorbent material for disposal. For larger
spills, dyke far ahead of spill. No smoking, flames or flares
in hazard area. Keep unnecessary people away from hazard
area and deny entry.
Shut off all sources of ignition, wear eye skin protection and
have breathing apparatus available. Small quantities may be
absorbed on paper and evaporated on a fume cupboard (do
not pour into drains as explosive concentrations may
develop). Large quantities should be absorbed on to sand and
taken to safe area for evaporation or burial. Ideally, the
solvent should be disposed of in a chemical incinerator with
appropriate precautions.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/REFERENCES
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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/REFERENCES
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
inorganic lead, close supervision because personality changes may occur and be manifested in suicidal attempt. Relapses
during recovering are common.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective respiratory equipment is not necessary under normal condition. A respirator
with an organic vapour acid gas cartridge may be used for short periods with small
spills. A self-contained pressure demand respirator is preferred. Splash goggles and
aluminized protective hood. Aluminized gauntlet type gloves with leather palms.
Aluminiumized smock and leggings. All protective clothing must be worn when
sampling, connecting and disconnecting cylinders.
Handling and Storage Precautions: Diethyl aluminium chloride cylinders are to be stored on a concrete pad,
isolated from other process equipment by 50-150 ft.
Drainage should be away from other process equipment or flammables.
Storage must be in open well-ventilated area.

EXPOSURE
SPILLS
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.

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.

An organic vapour acid gas air-purifying respirator can be used when small
leaks of dilute material occur, generating 5 ppm HCl in air but less than the
level, which irritates the eyes. At all other times, a self-contained pressure
demand air supplied respirator must be used. Splash goggles must be worn
anywhere titanium tetrachloride is in use. An acid hood must be when taking
samples. Gloves from the acid suit must be worn when taking samples of
diluted material. When working with concentrated material, the full acid suit
must be worn, i.e. hood, gloves, pants and boot.
Handling and Storage Precautions: Store containers of concentrated material on a concrete pad away from other
equipment and flammables. Avoid contact with water. Vessel
containing titanium tetrachloride must be kept blanket of dry nitrogen to
avoid deactivation of titanium tetrachloride and corrosion of lines and
vessels.
