4. FIRST AID MEASURES

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New Zealand 0800
764 766).

Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and
loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until
fully recovered. Seek medical advice if effects persist.

Skin Contact: Effects may be delayed. If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush
skin and hair with running water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance.

Eye contact: If in eyes wash out immediately with water. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible
precaution to seek medical advice.

Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water to drink.
Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious patient. If vomiting occurs give further water. Seek medical
advice.

Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically. Effects may be delayed.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Hazchem Code: Not applicable.

Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray),
alcohol resistant foam, standard foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).

Specific hazards: Combustible material.

Fire fighting further advice: On burning or decomposing may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of
combustion or decomposition.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of vapours or dust. Wipe up
with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal.

LARGE SPILLS
Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear
protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and the inhalation of vapours. Work up wind or
increase ventilation. Contain - prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert
material). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. If contamination of crops,
sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.

Dangerous Goods – Initial Emergency Response Guide No: Not applicable

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Avoid eye contact and skin contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from foodstuffs. Store
away from incompatible materials described in Section 10. Store away from sources of heat and/or ignition.
Keep container standing upright. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

National occupational exposure limits:

TWA STEL NOTICES

ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3

Oil mist, refined mineral 8012-95-1 - 5 - - -

As published by Safe Work Australia.

TWA - The time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day working
week over an entire working life.

STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne concentration over a 15 minute period which should not
be exceeded at any time during a normal eight-hour workday.

These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept too as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as
fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative
toxicity.

If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of individuals using the product should not
exceed the above standard. The standard was created for workers who are routinely, potentially exposed during
product manufacture.

Biological Limit Values: As per the “National Model Regulations for the Control of Workplace Hazardous
Substances (Safe Work Australia)” the ingredients in this material do not have a Biological Limit Allocated.

Engineering Measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure
Standards. Use only in well ventilated areas. Use with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing appropriate
respirator.

Personal Protection Equipment: SAFETY SHOES, OVERALLS, GLOVES, SAFETY GLASSES.

Product Name: Volvo Super Wet Brake Transaxle Oil Reference No: CAL0005501
Issued: 2017-02-07 Version: 2.0 Page 3 of 7
Safety Data Sheet
Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, safety glasses.Available information suggests that gloves made from nitrile
rubber should be suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations in glove construction and local
conditions, the user should make a final assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or
using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.

Hygiene measures: Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. When using do not eat, drink or
smoke. Wash hands prior to eating, drinking or smoking. Avoid contact with clothing. Avoid eye contact and skin
contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close
to the workstation location.
