4 – First Aid Measures
Ingestion (Swallowed): Aspiration Hazard. DO NOT induce vomiting. Call physician, poison control center
or the WD-40 Safety Hotline at 1-888-324-7596 immediately.
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water. Remove contact lenses if present after the first 5 minutes and
continue flushing for several more minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. If irritation develops and persists, get medical attention.
Inhalation (Breathing): If irritation is experienced, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if irritation or other
symptoms develop and persist.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: May cause eye and respiratory irritation. Inhalation may cause
coughing, headache and dizziness. Skin contact may cause drying of the skin.
Indication of Immediate Medical Attention/Special Treatment Needed: Immediate medical attention is
needed for ingestion.
5 – Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable (and unsuitable) Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Do
not use water jet or flooding amounts of water. Burning product will float on the surface and spread fire.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: Combustible liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier than air
and may travel along surfaces to remote ignition sources and flash back. Combustion will produce oxides of
carbon and hydrocarbons.
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-Fighters: Firefighters should always wear positive
pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Cool fire-exposed containers with
water.
6 – Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: Wear appropriate protective
clothing (see Section 8). Eliminate all sources of ignition and ventilate area.
Methods and Materials for Containment/Cleanup: Contain and collect liquid with an inert absorbent and
place in a container for disposal. Clean spill area thoroughly. Report spills to authorities as required.
7 – Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Avoid breathing
vapors or aerosols. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks, hot surfaces and open
flames. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Keep containers closed when not in use. Keep
out of the reach of children.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials. NFPA
