LEL: 35 gm/m3 UEL: 1400 gm/m3
Flammable Limits:
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Dust suspended in air is readily ignited by flame, static electricity,
or friction spark. Every reasonable step must be taken to minimize dust formation. Dust tight casings
should be equipped with explosion relief vents. Sparkless electrical equipment is recommended. Handling
equipment must be grounded or bonded to avoid static electricity. Keep away from sources of flame or
sparks. Detailed recommendations in Manufacturing Chemists Association SD-74 and National Safety
Council 612 Bulletins covering 鈥淪ulphur鈥? should be followed when handling this product.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Because burning sulphur creates sulphur dioxide, breathing
apparatus or gas masks approved for use in acid-gas atmosphere should be used. Fumes from
unprotected sulphur fires shall be avoided, if possible, by approaching from the upwind side.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Hoses and extinguishers with pressure streams should be avoided where
solid sulphur is dusty or where it may create a further hazard by raising more dust clouds.
Fire Fighting Equipment: A fine water spray or fog is recommended
CO2 or dry chemical
Small fires may be smothered with sand or solid sulphur

settings. Prolonged dermal exposure may cause skin irritation. Ingestion may cause stomach upset.
Target Organs: Eyes, Skin, respiratory system.
Acute Effects
Inhalation: Occasional mild irritation effects to the nose and throat may occur from inhalation.
Eye: Irritation may occur.
Skin: Irritation may occur
Ingestion: Stomach upset may occur.
Chronic Effects: Same as acute.
Eye Effects: Not Determined
Oral: Not Determined
Dermal: Not determined
Inhalation Human, inhalation,TCL0: Not determined
Chronic/Carcinogenicity Not Determined
Teratology: Not Determined
Mutagenicity: Not Determined
SECTION VII EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: None
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations
below OSHA PELs (Sec.2). Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents contaminant
dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its source.
Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use, and, if
necessary, wear a MSHA/NIOSH-approved respirator. Select respirator based on its suitability to provide
adequate worker protection for given working conditions, level of airborne contamination, and presence of
sufficient oxygen.
Protective Clothing/Equipment: Wear protective gloves, boots, and aprons to prevent prolonged or
repeated skin contact. Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety glasses. Contact lenses are not
eye protection devices. Appropriate eye protection must be worn, or in conjunction with contact lenses.
Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, and washing facilities available in work area.
Small Spills: Sweep up and try to keep dust to a minimum.
Large Spills: Sweep up and try to keep dust to a minimum.
Containment: Do not release into sewers or waterways.
Handling Precautions: None
Storage Requirements: Store in a dry location.
Regulatory Requirements: None
Disposal: Contact your supplier or a licensed contractor for detailed recommendations. Follow applicable
Federal, state, and local regulations. This product has been evaluated for RCRA characteristics and
should not meet the criteria of a hazardous waste if discarded in its purchased form. Under RCRA, it is
the responsibility of the user of the product to determine at the time of disposal, whether the product
meets RCRA criteria for hazardous waste. This is because product uses, transformations, mixtures,
processes, etc., may render the resulting materials hazardous.
Disposal Regulatory Requirements: Follow applicable Federal, state, and local regulations.
Container Cleaning and Disposal: Wipe containers clean.
