3 Hazards identification

Effects of overexposure : Inhalation of dust particles may cause silicosis.

4 First-aid measures

Eye contact : Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, call a doctor.

Skin contact : Wash contact areas with soap and water

Inhalation : Remove from further exposure. If respiratory irritation, dizziness,

nausea or unconsciousness occurs, seek medical assistance and call

an ambulance. If breathing has stopped, use mouth to mouth

resuscitation.

Ingestion : Not expected to be a problem. However, if greater than ½ litre

(pint) is ingested or if feeling uncomfortable, give 1 to 2 glasses of

water and obtain medical attention or call an ambulance for

assistance. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING or give anything by

mouth to an unconscious person.

5 Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media : Not applicable

Special fire fighting procedures : This material will not burn, however, use standard chemical

fire-fighting procedures and consider the hazards of other

involved materials. Prevent run off from fire control or dilution

from entering waterways or drinking water supply.

Special protective equipment : For fires in enclosed areas, fire-fighters must use self-contained

breathing apparatus.

Unusual fire and explosion hazards : None

Flash point : NA

Flammable limits : LEL - NA; UEL - NA

NFPA Hazard ID : Health: 0, Flammability: 0, Reactivity: 0

Hazardous decomposition products : Silicon dioxide

6 Accidental release measures

Notification procedures : Report spills as required to appropriate authorities such as the

local Environmental Health Officer or Fire Brigade. If spills are

likely to enter any drain, waterway or groundwater, contact the

Area Authority. In case of accident or road spill, contact the

Police and Fire Brigade and, if appropriate, the Area Water

Authority.

Procedures if material is

released or spilled : Shovel up and dispose of at an appropriate licensed waste

disposal site in accordance with current applicable laws and

regulations and product characteristics at time of disposal.

Environmental precautions : Prevent spills from entering storm sewers or drains and contact

with soil.

Personal precautions : See section 8

7 Handling and storage

Handling : No special precautions are necessary beyond normal good

hygiene practices. See section 8 for additional personal

protection advice when handling this product.

Storage : Do not store in open or unlabelled containers. Store away from

strong oxidizing agents or combustible material.

8 Exposure controls/personal protection

Ventilation : Use in well ventilated area

Respiratory protection : Approved dust respirators must be used for dusty conditions

or if dust levels exceed exposure limits.

Eye protection : Normal industrial eye protection practices should be employed.

Skin protection : No special equipment required. However, good personal

hygiene practices should always be followed.
