HEALTH HAZARDS
Health Hazard Low toxicity. Avoid eye contact, prolonged and repeated skin contact and vapour or mist inhalation. The mineral oil
Summary contained within this product is solvent refined and therefore occupational cancers associated with chronic exposure
to less refined mineral oils are not anticipated. Solvent or highly refined mineral oils are not classifiable as to their
carcinogenicity (IARC Group 3).
Eye Low to moderate irritant. Direct contact may result in lacrimation, pain, redness and conjunctivitis.
Inhalation Low irritant. Over exposure may result in mucous membrane irritation of the nose and throat with coughing.
Skin Low irritant. Prolonged and repeated contact may result in irritation, skin rash and dermatitis.
Ingestion Low toxicity. Ingestion of large doses may result in nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and drowsiness.
Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary oedema.
PRECAUTIONS
Flammability Combustible. May evolve toxic gases (carbon oxides, hydrocarbons) when heated to decomposition.
Reactivity Incompatible with oxidising agents (eg. hypochlorites, peroxides), acids (eg. sulfuric acid), alkalis (eg. hydroxides),
heat and ignition sources.
Ventilation Do not inhale vapours. Use in well ventilated areas. In poorly ventilated areas, mechanical extraction ventilation is
recommended.

Chem Alert Report
Product Name ALL FLEET EXTRA SAE 15W40
FIRST AID
Eye Flush gently with running water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
Inhalation If over exposure occurs leave exposure area immediately. If other than minor symptoms are displayed seek
immediate medical attention.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing and gently flush affected areas with water. Seek medical attention if irritation
develops. Maintain good personal hygiene standards. Launder clothing before reuse.
Ingestion If poisoning occurs, contact a Doctor or Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia Wide). Do not induce
vomiting. Give a glass of water to drink. Seek urgent medical attention.
SAFE HANDLING
Storage Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from oxidising agents (hypochlorites), acids (sulfuric acid), alkalis
(hydroxides), direct sunlight, heat or ignition sources and foodstuffs. Ensure containers are adequately labelled,
protected from physical damage and sealed when not in use. Check regularly for leaks or spills. Large storage areas
should have appropriate fire protection.
Waste Disposal Reuse where possible or return to manufacturer/supplier. May be recycled. Do not release to drains or waterways.
Contact Risk Management Technologies (08) 9322 1711 for additional information.
EMERGENCY
Spillage If spilt (bulk), clear area of all unprotected personnel and ventilate area. Wear splash-proof goggles, nitrile/viton
gloves, a Type A (Organic vapour) respirator (where an inhalation risk exists), coveralls and boots. Absorb residues
with sand or similar and place in clean containers for disposal.
Environment Mineral oils biodegrade slowly and should not be released to waterways or soil. They can float on water, restricting
oxygen exchange with possible asphyxiation of aquatic life.
Fire and Combustible. Evacuate area and contact emergency services. Toxic gases (hydrocarbons, carbon oxides) may be
Explosion evolved when heated. Remain upwind and notify those downwind of hazard. Wear full protective equipment including
Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) when combating fire. Use waterfog to cool intact containers and nearby
storage areas.
Extinguishing Dry agent, carbon dioxide or foam. Prevent contamination of drains or waterways. Absorb runoff with sand or similar.
