| 3. Hazards Identification |
| HMIS RATINGS |
Health:1, Flamability:0, Reactivity:0 |
| Emergency Overview |
No Unusual fire or spill hazard. low health risk by inhalation. May be subject to slow oxidation if stored at temperatures above 140F |
| Potential Health Effects: Eyes |
May cause mechanical irritation |
| Potential Health Effects: Skin |
None |
| Potential Health Effects: Inhalation |
Low Health Risk by inhalation. Treat as Nuisance Dust |
| Potential Health Effects: Oral LD50 |
Greater than 10 g/kg (RAT) |
| Effects of Overexposure: Acute |
Causes mechanical skin and eye irritation |
| Effects of Overexposure: Chronic |
Prolonged inhalation of iron oxide dust is known to produce a condition known as siderosis. On X-Rays it appears to be
benign pneumoconiosis and is not associated with pulmonary fibrosis or disability unless there is concurrent exposure to other fibrosis producing materials such as silica.
The TLV is set to protect against siderosis. |
| Carcinogenity |
Not lsted with NTP, IARC or OSHA as a known or suspected carcinogen. |
| 4. First Aid Measures |
| INHALATION |
Remove to fresh air. Call a physician.. |
| INGESTION |
If conscious give large amounts of water to induce vomiting. Get medical attention. |
| EYE CONTACT |
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician if irritation persists. |
| SKIN CONTACT |
Wash with soap and water |

| FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS |
Fire fighters should wear NIOSH approved, positive pressure, self contained breathiing apparatus and full protective
clothing when appropriate. |
| UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS |
None |
| 6. Accidental Release Measures |
| Small/large spills |
Clean up using dry procedures: avoid dusting. |
| 7. Handling and Storage |
| Handling |
Good industral hygiene practice requires that employee exposure be maintained below TLV. This is preferably achieved through the provision
of adequate ventilation where necessary. Where dust cannot be controlled in this way, personal respiratory protection should be employed. |
| Storage |
Store in a clean, dry area at ambient temperatures in original unopened containers. Conditions of high humidity may require
storage in a controlled envirnment. Store at temperatures well below 140F |
| 8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection |
| Engineering Controls |
Use with adequate ventilation to meet exposure limits listed in section 2 |
| RESPIRATORY CONTROL |
MSHA/NIOSHA approved filter type respirator used in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.134 |
| Skin Protection |
Leather or rubber gloves |
| Eye Protection |
Safety glasses/goggles or face shield recommended. |
