Risk Of Injury If Oil Comes Into Contact With Eyes And Skin

Danger of injury!

Contact with eyes or skin may result in injury!

Possible symptoms are:

  • Impaired sight
  • Irritation of the eyes
  • Reddening of the skin
  • Rough and cracked skin

Protective measures/rules of conduct

  • Wear safety goggles
  • Wear oil-resistant protective gloves
  • Observe country-specific safety regulations

First aid measures

  • Eye contact: Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; if available, use an eye-rinsing bottle. If irritation of the eyes persists, consult a doctor.
  • Skin contact: Wash off with soap and water immediately. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.

NOTE: Do not use solvents/thinners.
