Inhalation: Move to fresh air if inhaled, though inhalation risk is negligible
Ingestion: Swallowing is not dangerous in food-level amounts; large quantities can cause digestive upset, so consult a physician
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and warm water; allergy extremely rare
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water for several minutes; remove contact lenses, consult physician if irritation persists
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide fire extinguishers; water mist for small fires
Combustion Products: Produces carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, minor organic vapors when burned
Protective Gear: Standard fire-fighting apparel including gloves, goggles, self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Measures: Keep containers cool with water in case of fire nearby; avoid direct water stream on hot oil to prevent splattering and spread
Personal Precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation, avoid walking on spilled oil due to slip risk
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways or drains in excessive amounts
Clean-up Methods: Absorb spill with sand, earth, or inert absorbent material; collect into containers for disposal; clean area with soap and water
Handling: Use with good workplace hygiene; avoid spills that create slippery floors; close container after use
Storage: Store in cool, dry place away from heat, strong odors, or light to prevent rancidity; food-grade containers such as glass, stainless steel, or food-safe plastic recommended
