Keep at rest. Do not induce vomiting but seek prompt medical attention. Observe patient in case abdominal pain develops, or patient starts to vomit. Try to keep patient conscious and try to make certain that patient does not aspirate vomit into lungs.

Keep product in storage (and in use) away from sources of ignition. In the event of fire, remove all unaffected product (if possible) away from the immediate vicinity. If necessary cool stocks with water mists. Extinguish burning material with foam, dry powder, CO2 or halons. DO NOT USE WATER.

Small Scale Spillages:
In the unlikely event of spillages from aerosol cans, place cans in bags or open pail until pressure has dissipated. Aerosol cans must not be punctured or incinerated but disposed of in land fill or in accordance with local regulations. Do not wash WD-40 contamination into drains and waterways. Instead wipe affected areas with white spirit or turpentine substitute and allow to dry When dry wash affected areas with soapy water to remove any remnants of WD-40. If white spirit cannot be applied, layer with sawdust or absorbent material. Allow to dry and then sweep/shovel into refuse bins and dispose of via public or private waste disposal.
Large Scale Spillages:
In the event of large roadside transport spillages resulting from collision or overturned vehicles, vehicles must be kept away from contaminated roads or other surfaces. Affected areas should be covered in layers of sawdust or similarly absorbent material. Do not wash into drains, waterways or soil courses. Later remove absorbent material to waste disposal site. Marine spillages should be dealt with in accordance with pollutant procedures which are relevant to the product classification and IMDG codes.

Special Handling Information:
Ventilation:
Must be sufficient to keep solvent vapour less than TLV.
Ventilation:
Advised when concentration of solvent vapour exceeds TLV.
Protective gloves:
Advised when skin comes into contact with WD-40 regularly or to prevent possible skin irritation.
Eye protection :
Factory or industrial users are advised to wear protection to guard against potential eye contact.
Other protection equipment:
None required.
