Handling and Storage Guidance for diesel fuel
diesel fuel is a flammable liquid (flash point below 60 °C, Category 3). Store in a dedicated flammable storage cabinet, away from oxidisers and ignition sources. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment in storage areas. Containers must be kept tightly closed and grounded during transfer to prevent static discharge.
diesel fuel is classified as potentially carcinogenic. Exposure must be minimised using engineering controls (local exhaust ventilation, closed systems). Biological and medical monitoring may be required. Refer to the full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Section 8 for occupational exposure limits.
