          SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

 

Emergency Overview:  This product is non-hazardous under normal conditions of use.  Airborne particulate created during cutting and handling is considered nuisance dust and should be minimized through the use of good work practices and adequate ventilation. 

 

HMIS Rating:                Health:  1                 Fire:  0                 Physical Hazard:  0       Personal  Protection:  B

WHMIS Class:              Not regulated under WHMIS.

 

Primary Routes of Entry:  Via respirable dust to the lungs and respiratory system and via coarse dust and particulate to the eyes.

Primary Target Organs:  Lungs, respiratory system and eyes.

Potential Health Effects:

      Inhalation:  Irritating to the mucous membranes and respiratory tract.  Excessive exposures to dust may cause sore throat, coughing or upper respiratory irritation.

      Skin Contact:  Possible dryness or irritation resulting from long term exposures to product dust.   

      Eye Contact:  A mechanical irritant which can cause moderate to severe eye irritation.

 

 

          SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

 

Potential Health Effects:

      Ingestion:  Non-hazardous when ingested.  Potentially a mild irritant to the GI tract if excessive quantity is ingested. 

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:  Pre-existing chronic upper respiratory and lung diseases such as, but not limited to, bronchitis, emphysema and asthma.

Carcinogenicity:  This product is not classified by IARC, NTP or OSHA.

 

          SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES

 

Inhalation:  Remove to fresh air.  Drink water to clear throat and blow nose to evacuate dust.  If coughing and irritation develop, call a physician.

Eye Contact:  Flush with large amounts of water until irritation subsides, as least 15 minutes.  See a physician if irritation persists.

Skin Contact:  Normal good personal hygiene practices.  Wash with mild soap and warm water after each exposure. 

Ingestion:  Emergency procedures not normally required.  May be a temporary irritant to the GI system.

 

          SECTION V - FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

 

NFPA Rating:                Health:  0                     Fire:  0                   Reactivity:  0                            Other:  0

Flashpoint and Method:  This is a non-flammable product                           LEL:  N/Ap                           UEL:  N/Ap

Extinguishing Method  Not applicable.  Product will not burn.

Special Firefighting Procedures:  Not applicable.

Fire or explosion Hazards:  None

 

          SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

 

Clean-up Procedures:  Pick up or shovel material into waste container taking care to minimize dust.  Wet down if necessary to control dust.  Vacuum clean dust with equipment fitted with an efficient secondary filter

Personal Precautions:  If dusty conditions exist, wear a face mask approved for use with dusts such as 3M 8511 N-95 or equivalent.

Environmental Precautions:  None normally required.  Product contains naturally occurring minerals.

 

          SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE

 

Storage Requirements:  Store in dry area.  Always segregate materials by major hazard class.

Special Sensitivity or Incompatibility:   Avoid contact with strong acids.

Handling Precautions:  Assure proper respiratory protection if dust potential exceeds PEL/TLV.

 

          SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

 

Respiratory Protection:  When over PEL/TLV wear an approved face mask such as 3M 8511 N-95 or equivalent, to protect against dust. 

          SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

 

Eye Protection:  To protect eyes against dust and particulate, wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles when cutting material with mechanical equipment

Skin Protection:  Under normal conditions the wearing of protective gloves and clean, body-covering clothing should be adequate.

Engineering Controls:  Maintain sufficient mechanical or natural ventilation to assure dust concentrations remain below PEL/TLV.  Use local exhaust if necessary.  Power equipment should be equipped with properly designed dust collection devices.
