Section 4: First Aid Measures
Eye: If wet concrete is splashed in to the eyes flush thoroughly with flowing water until advised to stop by a poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
Inhalation: Remove from dusty area to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Skin: Remove heavily contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off skin thoroughly with water. A
shower may be required. Seek medical attention for persistent irritation or burning of the skin.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth and lips with water. Do not induce vomiting. Give water to drink to dilute stomach
contents. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Advice to Doctor: Treat symptomatically.
First Aid Facilities Eye wash station.
Additional Aggravated Medical Conditions
Information
Inhalation Over exposure resulting from prolonged and repeated inhalation of dust containing crystalline
silica can cause bronchitis, silicosis (scarring of the lung). It may also increase the risk of
scleroderma (a disease affecting the connective tissue of the skin. Joints, blood vessels and
internal organs) and lung cancer. Epidemiological studies have shown that smoking increases
the risk of bronchitis, silicosis (scaring of the lung) and lung cancer in persons exposed to
crystalline silica.
Skin Prolonged and repeated skin contact with cement in wet concrete, mortars and slurries may
result in irritant dermatitis or alkaline burns.
Eye Irritating to the eye. If wet cement is splashed in to the eye, alkaline burns can cause permanent
damage.
Section 5: Fire Fighting
Flammability: Not flammable. Does not support combustion of other materials.
Fire and Explosion: No fire or explosion hazard exists.
Extinguishing: Non-flammable; use suitable extinguishing agent for surrounding fire

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spillage: If spill (bulk), contact emergency services if appropriate. Wear dust proof goggles, PVC/rubber gloves, a Class P2 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.
Emergency Follow safety requirements for personal protection under Section 8
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection.
Procedures
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling: Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating, drinking and smoking in contaminated areas.
Storage: Store off the floor in the original bags in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from
excessive moisture and heat. Ensure packages are adequately labelled, protected from
physical damage and sealed when not in use.
Property/Environmental Refer to Section 13.
Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Ventilation Do not inhale dust/powder. Use with adequate ventilation. Where a dust inhalation hazard
exists, mechanical extraction ventilation is recommended. Maintain dust levels below the
recommended exposure standard.
Exposure Standards Crystalline Silica (Quartz) (14808-60-7)
ES-TWA: 0.1 mg/m3 (Respirable Dust)
Portland Cement (65997-15-1)
ES-TWA: 10 mg/m3 (Respirable Dust)
PPE Wear dust proof goggles/safety glass and rubber or PVC gloves. Where an inhalation risk exists,
wear clear P2 respirator. If there is potential for prolonged and/or excessive skin contact, wear
overalls. At high dust levels, wear a Class P3 respirator or a Powered Air Purifying
Respirator (PAPR) with class P3 filter. Check site’s specific safety assessment.

Chemical Stability: Chemically Stable
Conditions to Avoid: Keep free of moisture
Incompatible Materials Incompatible with oxidizing agents (e.g. hypochlorite), ethanol, acids (e.g. hydrofluoric acid) and
Interhalogens (e.g. chlorine trifluoride). Water contact may increase the temperature of product
(2-3°C).
Decomposition Products: Unlikely to evolve toxic gases when heated to decomposition.
Hazardous Reactions: None
Section 11: Toxicological Information
Acute Toxicity
No known toxicity data for this product.
Eyes
Irritant upon contact with powder/dust. Over exposure may result in pain, redness, corneal burns and ulceration with possible permanent damage.
Inhalation
Slightly corrosive. Irritating to the respiratory system, causing coughing and
sneezing. Over exposure may result in severe mucous membrane irritation and bronchitis. Crystalline silica can cause silicosis (lung disease) with chronic over exposure, however due to low levels present and product application, adverse health effects are not anticipated.
Skin
Irritating to the skin. Prolonged and repeated contact with powder or wetted form may result in skin rash, dermatitis and sensitisation.

Ingestion
Ingestion may result in burns to the mouth and throat, with vomiting and abdominal pain. Due to product form, ingestion is not considered a likely exposure route.
Mutagenicity
Insufficient data available for this product to classify as a mutagen.
Carcionogenicity
Concrete is not classified as a carcinogen by NOHSC. Crystalline silica is classified as carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1), however due to low levels present and product application, the criteria for classification is not met.
Section 12: Ecological Information
Toxicity
Product forms an alkaline product when mixed with water. This product is nontoxic to aquatic life forms when present in cured solid form.
Persistence and Degradability
Product is persistent and would have a low degradability.
Mobility in Soil
A low mobility would be expected in a landfill situation.
Section 13: Disposal Considerations
Waste Disposal
Reuse or recycle where possible. Alternatively, ensure product is covered with moist soil to prevent dust generation and dispose of to an approved landfill site. Contact the manufacturer for additional information.
Legislation
Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation. Keep out of sewer stormwater drains.
Section 14: Transport Information
Not classified as a dangerous good by the criteria of the ADG code.
Transport is by rail or road in bulk or bag form.
Drivers of trucks transporting bagged products should ensure that the bags are properly restrained.

Section 16: Other Information
Additional Information
CEMENT CONTACT DERMATITIS: Individuals using wet cement, mortar, grout or concrete could be at risk of developing cement dermatitis. Symptoms of exposure include itchy, tender, swollen, hot, cracked or blistering skin with the potential for sensitization. The dermatitis is due to the presence of soluble (hexavalent) chromium.
IARC – GROUP 1 – PROVEN HUMAN CARCINOGEN. This product contains an ingredient for which there is sufficient evidence to have been classified by the International Agency for Research into Cancer as a human carcinogen. The use of products known to be human carcinogens should be strictly monitored and controlled.
RESPIRATORS: In general, the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken. Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES: The Recommendation for protective equipment contained within this SDS report is provided as a guide only. Factors such as method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is made.
HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE: It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to prepare an SDS report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.
