SKIN:
PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. WHEN THE PRODUCT IS USED AS
INTENDED, IT IS UNLIKELY TO CAUSE DISCOMFORT.
INGESTION:
INGESTION OF LARGE AMOUNTS MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION. INGESTION

ENVIRONMENTS.
INHALATION:
MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. WHEN THE PRODUCT IS USED AS
INTENDED, IT IS UNLIKELY TO CAUSE DISCOMFORT.
CHRONIC:
REPEATED AND PROLONGED INHALATION EXPOSURE TO CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST ABOVE
EXPOSURE LIMITS MAY CAUSE DELAYED, CHRONIC LUNG INJURY (SILICOSIS).
PROLONGED INHALATION OF IRON OXIDE DUST IS KNOWN TO PRODUCE A BENIGN LUNG
CONDITION KNOWN AS SIDEROSIS. WHEN THE PROJECT IS USED AS INTENDED, DUST
LEVELS SHOULD NOT EXCEED EXPOSURE LIMITS. SEE SECTIONS 8 AND 11.

| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION:
REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND MOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY.
ENCOURAGE THE PATIENT TO BLOW NOSE TO ENSURE CLEAR BREATHING PASSAGES.

GIVE OXYGEN.
GET MEDICAL AID IF COUGH OR OTHER SYMPTOMS APPEAR.
SKIN CONTACT:
WET CLOTHING FIRST TO MINIMIZE DUST GENERATION, THEN; REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING AND SHOES. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE WEARING AGAIN.
WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH WATER (AND SOAP IF AVAILABLE)
GET MEDICAL AID IN THE EVENT OF IRRITATION.
EYE CONTACT:
DO NOT RUB EYES, RUBBING MAY CAUSE ABRASIONS. FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING THE UPPER AND LOWER
EYELIDS. GET MEDICAL AID.
