Is transformer oil toxic and what precautions are needed?

Transformer oil is generally considered toxic due to its petroleum-based composition, which can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. Precautions include using personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and masks when handling, ensuring proper ventilation in work areas, and following local regulations for disposal. Additionally, avoid skin contact and wash thoroughly after handling to minimize exposure risks. Regular training on safety protocols is also essential for personnel working with transformer oil.
