With good standards of personal and industrial hygiene marine fuel oils, properly used for their intended
purpose,
should
not present any significant health hazards. However prolonged exposure and inhalation of
fuel oils
should
be avoided. Direct skin contact with fuel oils as this can produce dermatitis and skin cancer.
x
Unnecessary or prolonged contact with fuel oils
should
therefore be avoided;
x
Contact with fuel oils which have been contaminated by mixing with lubricating oils, chemicals waste
or other products
should
be avoided;
x
For all fuel and oils a typical MSDS sheet
should
be kept onboard.
