Fuel oil, residual; Heavy Fuel oil; [The liquid product from various refinery streams, usually residues. The composition is complex and varies with the source of the crude oil.]

Fuel oil, residual; Heavy Fuel oil; [The liquid product from various refinery streams, usually residues. The composition is complex and varies with the source of the crude oil.] 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.

This substance carries the signal word DANGER, indicating the more severe hazard categories under GHS/CLP. Facilities handling Fuel oil, residual; Heavy Fuel oil; [The liquid product from various refinery streams, usually residues. The composition is complex and varies with the source of the crude oil.] should ensure a written hazard communication programme, including current SDS, employee training records, and GHS-compliant labelling on all containers.
