HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

HEALTH EFFECTS

Swallowed : Mild corrosive action.

Eye : Short-term exposure, irritating. Long-term exposure, irritating may cause inflammation of the
cornea.

Skin : Short-term exposure, irritating. Long-term exposure, wet cement, especially as an ingredient in
plastic (unhardened) concrete, mortar or slurry, is slightly caustic and can dry the skin. There are also
trace amounts on water-soluble hexavalent chromium present in cement (0-20ppm ) and in some
individuals may cause allergic dermatitis.

Inhaled : Short-term exposure, irritating. Long-term exposure may cause inflammation of lining of the
respiratory system.

FIRST AID

Swallowed : Brush material from face and wash with copious amounts of clean water. Do not induce
vomiting, give water containing sugar or milk to drink. Seek medical attention.

Skin : Wash with clean running water. A shower may be required.

Eyes : Immediately irrigate with copious amounts of clean running water for at least 15 minutes. Do not
rub eyes. Seek medical attention.

Inhaled : Move to fresh air, wash with water and seek medical attention if affects persist.

Advice to Doctor : Contact a poisons information centre.


PRECAUTIONS FOR USE


Page 2 of 4
Exposure Limits : Cement is classified as an inert nuisance dust.

TLV : 5mg/m3 for respirable dust and 10mg/m3 for total dust.

Wet cement, particularly in plastic (unhardened ) concrete, mortar or slurry, can dry the skin and cause
alkali burns. Continued exposure to individuals who are allergic to chromium, may cause severe allergic
dermatitis.

Ventilation : Where practical, suitable means of dust collection / suppression should be applied as
necessary to maintain acceptable air borne dust levels

Persons with a history of respiratory illness or reduced pulmonary function should avoid work places
with high dust levels.

Personal Protection : In dust environments, the use of filter masks as in AS1716, Class L ( in
accordance with AS1715) and tight fitting goggles is advised.

Use of impervious gloves, boots and clothing to protect the skin from contact with dust and wet cement
is recommended. Barrier creams may also be used.

Following work with cement, a shower with soap and water is recommended.

Flammability : Cement is non-combustible.


SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION

Handling and Storage : Cement should be stored away from moisture, steam, acid or acid fumes, in
containers that prevent ingress of moisture as this will cause it to set and hardened in storage.

Concrete or steel bins and silos or plastic lined paper sacks are the most usual forms of storage.

Transportation is usually in bulk rail or road tankers, or in paper sacks.

Spills and Disposals : Spills may be cleaned up by any dry method such as, broom, shovel or vacuum
device, with care taken to minimise dust evolution into the worker environment.

Clean up personnel should wear full cover clothing, gloves, boots, dust masks and goggles.

Carefully dispose of excess product and packaging by collecting for disposal as a trade waste in
accordance with local authority guidelines.
