Summary In the wet state, this product does not present an inhalation hazard. Silica
quartz can cause silicosis (lung disease) with chronic over exposure.

Eye Corrosive. Severe irritant upon contact with powder/ dust. Over exposure
may result in pain, redness, corneal burns and ulceration with possible
permanent damage

Inhalation Slightly corrosive. Over exposure may result in severe mucous membrane
irritation & bronchitis. Hexavalent chromium is reported to cause respiratory
sensitisation, however due to the trace amount present, a hazard is not
anticipated under normal conditions of use.

Skin Slightly corrosive. Prolonged and repeated contact with powder or wetted
form may result in skin rash, dermatitis and sensitization.

Ingestion Slightly corrosive. Ingestion may result in burns to the mouth and throat,
with vomiting and abdominal pain. Due to product form, ingestion is not

oesophagus plenty of water. Rinse mouth with


water immediately

Spillage - If spilt (bulk), contact emergency


services if appropriate. Wear
dust-proof goggles, PVC/rubber
gloves, a Class P1 (Particulate)
respirator (where an inhalation
risk exists), coveralls and rubber
boots. Clear area of all
unprotected personnel. Prevent
spill entering drains or
waterways. Collect and place in
sealable containers for disposal or
reuse. Avoid generating dust.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE


General Keep bulk and bagged cement dry until used. Stack bagged material in a
secure manner to prevent falling. Bagged cement is heavy and poses risks
such as sprains and strains to the back, arms, shoulders and legs during
lifting and mixing. Handle with care and use appropriate control measures

Engulfment hazard. To prevent burial or suffocation, do not enter a


confined space, such as a silo, bin, bulk truck, or other storage container or
vessel that stores or contains cement. Cement can buildup or adhere to the
walls of a confined space. The cement can release, collapse or fall
unexpectedly

Properly ground all pneumatic conveyance systems. The potential exists for
static buildup and static discharge when moving cement powders through a
plastic, non-conductive, or non-grounded pneumatic conveyance system.
The static discharge may result in damage to equipment and injury to
workers.

Usage Cutting, crushing or grinding hardened cement, concrete or other crystalline


silica-bearing materials will release respirable crystalline silica. Use all
appropriate measures of dust control or suppression, and Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) described in Section PPE

.Housekeeping Avoid actions that cause the cement to become airborne during clean-up
such as dry sweeping or using compressed air. Use HEPA vacuum or
thoroughly wet with water to clean-up dust. Use PPE described in Section
PPE.
