MSDS USED Lubricating Oil
1. PRODUCT AND CO MPANY IDENTIFICATION
Trade name: Used Oil
APPLICATION:
Used lubr icating oil or waste oil typically from the crankcase of internal combustion
engines (mainly run on petrol or diesel).Used oil is also produced and collected from
other operating equipment and includes products such as hydraulic oils, gear and
transmission oils. t is not recommended that used oils from transformers and
switchgear be mi!ed with other waste oils but this "#$# also accommodates the
possibility of unw anted dumping of used transformer oils.

2. COMPOSITION
"aterial is of 6ariable composition depend ing on the composition of the original
oil and the degree of degradation.
This material is a comple! mi!ture of paraffinic, naphthenic and aromatic petroleum
hydrocarbons that may contain one or more of the follow ing: carbon deposits,
sludge, aromatic and non8aromatic sol6ents, w ater (as a water8in8oil emulsion),
glycols, wear metals and metallic salts, silicon8based antifoaming compounds, fuels,
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ((70<=s) and miscellaneous lubricating oil
additi6e materials. n the unlikely e6ent that used transformer oils are mi!ed with
other waste oil then polychlorinated biphenyls and terpenyls ((7>=s4(7T=s) may also
be present.

;. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEAS URES
t may be necessary to e6acuate the contaminated area in case of serious spills
or leaks,
Methods for cleaning up
7ontain and reco6er spilled mater ial using sand or other suitable inert material.
Precautions
t is ad6ised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities
sufficient to deal with any spillage which may be reasonably anticipated. #pilled
material may make surfaces slippery.
Environmental Precautions
(rotect drains from potential spills to minim i;e contaminat ion. $O ?OT wash
product into drainage system. 7ontact the appropriate authorities in all cases
where the consequences cannot be quickly and effecti6ely controlled.
n the case of spillage on w ater, pre6ent the spread of product by
the use of suitable barrier equipment. %eco6er product from the
surface. (rotect en6ironmentally sensiti6e areas and water
supplies.
n the case of spillage at sea appro6ed dispersants may be used
where authori;ed by the appropriate go6ernmental4regulatory
authorities. %egular sur6eillance on the location of the spillage
should be maintained.
In Case o Spill
#top the source of the leak or release and contain spill if possible.
Centilate area. Use respirator and protecti6e clothing as discussed
in this "#$#. 7o6er spill with a generous amount of inert
absorbent. Use a stiff broom to mi! thoroughly.
#weep up and place in a disposable container. #crub contaminated area with
detergent and water using a stiff broom. (ick up liquid with additional absorbent
and place in a disposable container. (re6ent contamination of groundwater or
surfacewater.

Handling and Precautions
06oid contact with eyes. f splashing is likely to occur wear a full face 6isor or
chemical goggles as appropriate.
f skin contact is likely, wear imper6ious protecti6e clothing and4or glo6es. <igh
standards of personal hygiene and plant cleanliness must be maintained. 5ash
hands thoroughly after use, and always wash hands before eating, drinking and
smoking, and before and after using the toilet.
7hange hea6 ily contaminated cloth ing as son as reasonably practicable and
launder before re8use. 5ash any contaminated underly ing skin with soap
andwater.
The application of barrier cream on the hands before commencing
work may be helpful. 0fter washing, the application of a suitable conditioning
cream may help pre6ent cracking, fissuring or dryness of the skin.
06oid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalat ion of mists, fumes, or 6apour
generated during use.
Take particular care to a6oid prolonged skin contact with used engine oils.
Storage Conditions
:eep out of reach of children. #tore under co6er aw ay from heat and sources of
ignition. :eep containers tightly closed. Used lubricating oil should be stored in
accordance with local regulations and should be separated from other waste
streams such as coolants, brake fluids, degreasers and sol6ents.
Handling and Storage
"inimum feasible handling temperatures should be maintained. (eriods of
e!posure to high temperatures should be minimi;ed. 5ater contamination should
be a6oided. "isuse of empty containers can be ha;ardous. $O ?OT cut, weld, or
drill containers. %esidue may ignite with e!plosi6e 6iolence if heated sufficiently.
$o not pressuri;e or e!pose to open flames or heat. :eep container closed and
drum bungs in place and label correctly with appropriate ha;ardous waste signage
where applicable

Eyes
?o special eye protection is mandated but safety glasses with side shields can be
recommended when handling used oils.
Skin
&!posed employees should e!ercise reasonable personal
cleanlinessD this includes cleansing e!posed skin se6eral times
daily with soap and water, and laundering or drycleaning soiled
work clothing at least weekly.
0ny routine contact with used motor oil should require the use of protecti6e
clothing such as glo6es or apron made of neoprene, nitrile, or n8butyl rubber
suitable for the application.
Inhalation
%espiratory protection is normally not required. <owe6er, if operating
conditions create airborne concentrations which e!ceed the recommended
e!posure standard(s), the use of an appro6ed respirator is recommended.
5ear appro6ed respiratory protection such as to!ic dust, mist and fume
respirator.
!entilation
Use adequate 6ent ilation to keep the airborne concentrations of this
material below the 07@ < TEC for mineral oil mists. Eocal e!hausts
6entilation and4or enclosure of the process is preferred in these cases.
Exposure "imits
$ue to possible carcinogenic effects, e!posure should be reduced to the
lowest feasible le6el.

$sed motor oils
7ombustion products resulting from the operation of internal combustion engines
contaminate engine oils during use. Used motor oil may contain ha;ardous components
which ha6e been shown to cause skin cancer in mice following repeated application and
continuous e!posure. 'requent or prolonged contact with all types and makes of used
engine oil must therefore be a6oided and high standard of personal hygiene maintained.
>rief or intermittent skin contact with used motor oil is not e!pected to ha6e serious
effects in humans if the oil is thoroughly remo6ed by washing w ith soap and water.
