diesel vapors
Diesel Fuel Precautions
Diesel vapors can irritate eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Excessive short term exposure can lead to dizziness, drowsiness, loss of coordination, blood pressure elevation, headaches, nausea, asphyxiation and lung damage. Breathing diesel vapors for long periods of time can cause kidney damage and reduce the clotting ability of blood.
diesel fuel
minimize exposure
Diesel fuel can irritate the skin and aggravate any existing skin condition. A large skin exposure can lead to severe redness, pain and chemical burn blisters. If the fuel is not cleaned from the skin quickly, it is absorbed into the blood stream where it can cause symptoms identical to inhalation exposure.
Wearing gloves may also help to reduce exposure. However, diesel fuel can easily penetrate most glove material. Gloves made of nitrile or viton have been shown to be the most effective barrier against penetration of diesel fuel. Neoprene gloves may also provide some limited protection. Vinyl gloves or butyl rubber gloves provide little or no protection.
Adequate first aid procedures are essential to minimize the health effects of exposure. If a worker gets diesel fuel on skin and/or clothing, he or she should flood the affected skin with water and remove and isolate all contaminated clothing (in a sealed plastic bag). The skin should be gently and thoroughly washed with soap and water. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, the worker should see a physician immediately.
Diesel Fuel Precautions (con’t)
If fuel is splashed into eyes, remove contact lenses. Flush eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20-30 minutes; at the same time contact the nearest hospital or poison control center.
When a worker is overexposed to the vapor, he or she should leave the contaminated area immediately and take deep breaths of fresh air. If the worker experiences symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath or burning in the mouth, throat or chest, the worker should immediately contact a physician and/or go to the hospital.
For additional information specific to diesel fuel safety please refer to the diesel fuel MSDS sheet No.9909. spills additional information
