SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: This product is non-flammable.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: As needed for surrounding fire conditions. Any
extinguishing media may be used as required. Waterfog may be used to cool intact
containers and nearby storage areas.
Hazards From Combustion Products: Rockwool / Insulation is non-flammable, but
the plastic wrapping, resin binder, may decompose, smolder or burn in a fire or when
heated above 250o c. If product is present in a fire, toxic gasses or smoke may be
evolved depending on surrounding fire conditions.
Fire Fighting Procedures: As needed for surrounding fire conditions. If required,
evacuate area and contact emergency services; remain upwind and notify those down
wind of fire hazard; and wear protective equipment including self contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA).
HAZCHEM Code: None allocated.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Containment Procedure: If product is torn or loose, cover or reseal to minimize
fibre release. Reuse where possible or place in a sealable plastic bag for disposal
according to local authority guidelines.
Clean Up Procedure: Personnel directly involved in clean up of loose material
should wear personal protective equipment as described in Section 8. Clean area so as
to avoid dispersion of loose material or fibres using wet sweep methods or vacuum
cleaner.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: These are safe in use. Once installed, the product does not release dust or
fibres. Handling, installing or removing the product may result in some dust and
airborne fibre. Minimise eye or skin contact and inhalation during handling
installation and removal (see Section 8). Observe good personal hygiene, including
washing hands before eating. Remove personal protective equipment before entering
eating areas.
Storage: Store in sealed container in cool, dry area, removed from foodstuffs. Ensure
packages are adequately labeled protected from physical damage, and sealed when not
in use. Avoid packaging being stored under UV light (direct sunlight) for long periods.
Incompatibilities: None.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

National Exposure Standards: None allocated for Rockwool Insulation products,
which may be regarded as nuisance dusts. The supplier / distributor recommends
following the National Occupational Exposure Standard (NES) Australian Safety and
Compensation Council ASCC (formerly NOHSC) general guide to keep all
occupational exposures to dust and other atmospheric containments to as low a level
as workable. For non-hazardous nuisance dusts: 2.0mg/m3 TWA for inspirable dusts
and / or 10mg/m3 TWA for total dust (of any type or particle size).
Notes on Exposure Standards: Exposure standard (TWA) is the time weighted
average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day
working week over an entire life. According to current knowledge this concentration
should not impair the health or cause undue discomfort to nearly all workers.
Biological Limit Value: N/A
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Ventilation: During most installations no special ventilation will be required.
However, if installing in dusty or poorly ventilated areas, or during the first heat-up
cycle in high temperature industrial application, local exhaust ventilation should be
considered. Work practices should aim to minimise the release of and exposure to
fibres and dust. Hand tools generate the lease amount of dust and fibres. If power
tools are used directly on the product appropriate dust collection systems are
recommended.
Special Consideration for Repair and/or Maintenance of Contaminated
Equipment: Work areas should be cleaned regularly and vacuuming or wet sweeping
is suggested. Use of personal protective equipment as outlined below is recommended
during work in areas or on equipment where this product has been installed.
Personal Protection Equipment

Personal Hygiene: Personal hygiene; washing of exposed skin with soap and water at
the end of a shift or as required is recommended as a comfort measure
Skin Protection: Direct skin contact can be minimized by wearing long-sleeved
shirts and trousers, a hat and standard duty gloves conforming to Australian Standard
AS2161. Work clothes should be washed regularly and separately from other clothes.
Eye Protection: When handling these products especially overhead or in enclosed or
poorly ventilated areas such as ceiling spaces, eye contact with dust or fibres can be
avoided by wearing ventilated non-fogging dust resistant goggles
Respiratory Protection: A class P1, P2, N95 respirator is, in all but the most dusty or
poorly ventilated locations, sufficient to minimise irritation of the respiratory tract
when installing this product.
Smoking and Other Dusts: Inhalation of airborne particles from other sources,
including cigarette smoke, may increase the risk of lung disease. We recommends that
all work and storage areas should be smoke free zones and other airborne
contaminants be kept to a minimum.

may cause discomfort of nose, throat, lower and upper respiratory tract. In particular
to persons suffering from asthma, bronchitis, hay fever and other such chest
complaints.
