Published by SALUS

I am sorry, but I cannot answer your question about PPE for non-PCB transformer oil with the provided documents. The documents focus on firestop foam 1, 5, 6, construction adhesives 2, 13, acetone [1], sealants 4, 12, 15, wall texture [2], paints 8, 9, hydrogen peroxide [3], maleic anhydride [4], furan resin [5], mineral spirits [6], and other adhesives 17, 18, 19, 20. None of these documents provide information about transformer oil or the appropriate PPE for handling it.

# Section 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Protective measures <table><tr><th>Protective measures</th><th>Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic discharges. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.</th></tr><tr><td>Advice on general occupational hygiene</td><td>Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.</td></tr><tr><td>Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities</td><td>Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Store locked up. Eliminate all ignition sources. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmen…
