Hazard First Aid Measures
Engine Oil When hot may burn the skin but not

cause an allergic skin reaction in sensitive
individuals. Continuous skin exposure
may give rise to dermatitis.
Gloves, overalls and eye protection
should be worn when handling this
product.
Do not burn old oil as a method of
disposal as combustion is likely to
give rise to a complex mixture of
airborne solids, liquid particulates and
gases including carbon monoxide and
unidentied organic and inorganic
compounds .
Old engine oil has potential health
implications and should not come into
contact with the skin.

ile pad and obtain medical assistance.
