EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:

COLOR: colorless to yellow

PHYSICAL FORM: liquid

ODOR: hydrocarbon odor

SIGNAL WORD: WARNING!

MAJOR HEALTH HAZARDS: Causes skin irritation on prolonged or repeated contact. Harmful or fatal if liquid is aspirated into lungs.

PHYSICAL HAZARDS: flash back hazard. Combustible liquid and vapor.

COMPREHENSION CHECK

Look at your MSDS. In what area does JP-8 pose the lowest risk?


Hazards Identification (Continued)


POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:

INHALATION:

No significant health hazards identified. See Toxicological Information section (Section 11).

SKIN CONTACT:

Causes skin irritation on prolonged or repeated contact. Prolonged or repeated contact can defat the skin and lead to irritation and/or dermatitis. See Toxicological Information Section (Section 11).

EYE CONTACT:

No significant health hazards identified.

INGESTION:

Harmful or fatal if liquid is aspirated into lungs. Ingestion causes gastrointestinal irritation and diarrhea. See Toxicological Information Section (Section 11).

COMPREHENSION CHECK

First Aid Measures


SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Get medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT: Wash exposed skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and thoroughly clean and dry before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with plenty of water.

INGESTION: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.

COMPREHENSION CHECK

1. Look at your MSDS. What actions should you take if you spill JP-8 on your pants?

2. What should you NOT do if you accidentally swallow JP-8?


Fire Fighting Measures


SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Moderate fire hazard. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive above flash point.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical, regular foam, water

FIRE FIGHTING: Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Flood with fine water spray. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Water or foam may cause frothing.

Fire Fighting Measures (Continued)


FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Firefighters should wear full bunker gear, including a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.

FLASH POINT: >100 F (>38 C) (TCC)

LOWER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: >0.7% by volume

UPPER FLAMMABLE LIMIT: <5% by volume

AUTOIGNITION: 410 F (210 C)

FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION: Combustible Liquid

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:

Thermal decomposition products or combustion: oxides of carbon, hydrocarbons

COMPREHENSION CHECK

Look at your MSDS. What are the fire and explosion hazards for JP-8?


SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Cover with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading and protect from contact with water. Prevent spreading by diking, ditching, or absorbing on inert materials. Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee or State Emergency Response Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U>S> SARA Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA).

Accidental Release Measures

Handling and Storage


SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

ST0RAGE: Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Store in combustible

liquids storage area. Store away from heat, ignition sources, and open flame in accordance with applicable regulations. Subject to storage regulations: U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106. Grounding and bonding required. See original container for storage recommendations. Keep separated from incompatible substances.

HANDLING: Keep away from all ignition sources. Keep container tightly closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Ground and bond containers when transferring materials. Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas of use or storage. Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. Remove contaminated clothing and thoroughly clean and dry before reuse. Wash thoroughly after work using soap and water. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Empty containers may contain toxic, flammable/combustible or explosive residue or vapors. Do not cut, grind, drill, weld, reuse or dispose of containers unless adequate precautions are taken against these hazards.
