4. First-aid measures
Inhalation Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen by
trained personnel. If a problem develops or persists, seek medical attention.
Skin contact Wash skin with warm water and mild soap. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. If a
problem develops or persists, seek medical attention.
Eye contact IMMEDIATELY flush with plenty of water. Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses.
Hold eyelids apart to rinse properly. If a problem develops or persists, seek medical attention.
Ingestion DO NOT induce vomiting, unless recommended by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth if
victim is unconscious or convulsing. If ingestion of a large amount does occur, seek medical attention or
contact a Poison Centre immediately.
Other Grinding may create elevated sound levels (during grinding) which may affect hearing and pre-existing
hearing condition(s). If a problem develops or persists, seek medical attention.
Symptoms Dust and powder may irritate throat and respiratory system and cause coughing. Dusts from this product
may cause mechanical irritation to skin and eyes.

and emergency
procedures
Do not touch spilled material. Make sure to wear personal protective equipment mentioned in this
Safety Data Sheet.
Environmental
precautions
Methods and
materials for
containment and
cleaning up
DO NOT throw dust into drains or waterways.
Ventilate the area well. Vacuum or sweep up dust and place in an appropriate waste disposal
container. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe
handling
Handle abrasive cutting off wheels and grinding wheels carefully to prevent damage from shock, heat,
etc. Use all abrasive cutting off wheels and grinding wheels in accordance with all applicable federal
and state safety codes and as directed in ANSI B7.1: Safety Requirements for the Use, Care, and
Protection of Abrasive Wheels. Also consult ANSI B.1: Safety Requirements for the Use, Care, and
Protection of Abrasive Wheels. Use only in well ventilated area. Avoid breathing dust. Use in a maner
that avoids generating dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear eye protection, gloves and other protective
clothing that are adapted to the task being performed and the risks involved. Do not eat, do not drink
and do not smoke during use. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling this
compound. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Conditions for safe
storage, including any
Store in dry protected area free from humidity, freezing temperatures or extreme temperature
changes.

Appropriate
engineering controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) to keep the airborn concentrations of
dust below their respective occupational exposure limits. It is recommended to reduce the sound
level in order not to exceed the standards OSHA 29CFR 1910.95, ANSI S3.19 and/or CSA Z94.2
(Canada) for hearing protection devices. In addition, the hearing protection devices must be selected
based to the sound spectrum emitted in the workplace.
Individual protection measures
Eye Wear safety glasses. If risk of contact with eyes or the face, wear a face shield.
Hands Wear leather gloves.
Skin Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed
and the risks involved. Wear normal work clothing covering arms and legs as required by employer
code. If necessary, wear an apron or long-sleeve protective coverall suit.
Respiratory A respirator is not required in a well-ventilated area. Where the conditions in the workplace require a
respirator, it is necessary to follow a respiratory protection program. Moreover, respiratory protection
equipment (RPE) must be selected, fitted, maintained and inspected in accordance with regulations
and standard 29 CFR 1910.134 (OSHA), ANSI Z88.2 or CSA Z 94.11 (Canada) and approved by
NIOSH/MSHA. For nuisance exposures use type N95 particle respirator.
Feet Wear safety shoes.
Leather Glove Safety glasses
