13. RECOMMENDATIONS To minimise occupational exposure to Gulftene 16-18 the following guidelines and precautions should be observed: • Workers should be advised of the potential for occupational dermatoses following repeated skin exposure to Gulftene 16-18 and to report any skin changes to the occupational health and safety officer at their workplace. When an occupational skin disease occurs, the employer should review work practices and opportunities for contact with the substance and instigate preventive measures to ensure other workers do not develop the same condition. Further guidance on preventing the occurrence of occupational skin diseases can be found in the NOHSC guide Occupational Diseases of the Skin (NOHSC 1990). • Safety goggles should be selected and fitted in accordance with Australian Standard (AS) 1336 (Standards Australia 1994) to comply with Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS) 1337 (Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand 1992); • Industrial clothing should conform to the specifications detailed in AS 2919 (Standards Australia 1987) and AS 3765.1 (Standards Australia 1990); • Impermeable gloves should conform to AS/NZS 2161.2 (Standards Australia 1998). Nitrile, Viton, polyurethane, or chlorinated polyethylene gloves are recommended by the notifier; • All occupational footwear should conform to AS/NZS 2210 (Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand 1994); • Where exposure to airborne material may occur an organic vapour (Type A) filter respirator should be used. Respiratory protection should conform to AS 1715 (Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand 1994), and AS 1716 (Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand 1994); • Gulftene 16-18 is identified as a Class 1 combustible liquid and should be stored, handled and used in accordance with AS 1940 (Standards Australia 1993); • Spillage of Gulftene 16-18 should be avoided. Spillages should be cleaned up promptly and in accordance with the instructions on the notifiers MSDS; • Good personal hygiene should be practised to minimise the potential for ingestion; • A copy of the MSDS should be easily accessible to employees. If the conditions of use are varied, then greater exposure of the public may occur. In such circumstances, further information may be required to assess the hazards to public health. This assessment report be included in environmental management submissions where required under State or Commonwealth petroleum (submerged lands) legislation.
