Marine Gas Oil (Low Sulfur)
Specific hazards arising : Flammable liquid and vapor. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. This
from the chemical product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become electrostatically charged. If
sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can occur. To reduce
potential for static discharge, use proper bonding and grounding procedures. This liquid
may accumulate static electricity when filling properly grounded containers. Static
accumulation may be significantly increased by the presence of small quantities of water
or other contaminants. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the
container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier
than air and will spread along the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined
areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. This
material is toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Fire water contaminated with
this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway,
sewer or drain.
Hazardous thermal : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
decomposition products carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
Diesel engine exhaust
Special protective actions : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
for fire-fighters there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
equipment for fire-fighters apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Head spaces in tanks and other containers may contain a mixture of air and vapor in
the flammable range. Vapor may be ignited by static discharge. Storage area must
meet OSHA requirements and applicable fire codes. Additional information regarding
the design and control of hazards associated with the handling and storage of
flammable and combustible liquids may be found in professional and industrial
documents including, but not limited to, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
publications NFPA 30 ("Flammable and Combustible Liquid Code"), NFPA 77
("Recommended Practice on Static Electricity") and the American Petroleum Institute
(API) Recommended Practice 2003, (“Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static,
Lightning, and Stray Currents").

Marine Gas Oil (Low Sulfur)
Appropriate engineering : Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
controls other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any
recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,
vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, vapor controls, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will
be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Possibility of hazardous : Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous reactions will not occur.
reactions
Conditions to avoid : Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat or sources of ignition. Do not
allow vapor to accumulate in low or confined areas. Do not store with strong oxidizing
agents.
Hazardous decomposition : Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products should
products not be produced.
