Section 3 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview

Portland cement is a light gray powder that poses little immediate hazard. A single short-term exposure to the dry powder is not
likely to cause serious harm. However, exposure of sufficient duration to wet portland cement can cause serious, potentially
irreversible tissue (skin or eye) destruction in the form of chemical (caustic) burns. The same type of tissue destruction can occur
if wet or moist areas of the body are exposed for sufficient duration to dry portland cement. Potential Health Effects

Relevant Routes of Exposure:

Eye contact, skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion.

Effects Resulting from Eye Contact:

Exposure to airborne dust may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation. Eye contact by large amounts of dry
powder or splashes of wet portland cement may cause effects ranging from moderate eye irritation to chemical burns or
blindness.
Such exposures require immediate first aid (see Section 4) and medical attention to prevent significant damage to the eye.
Effects Resulting from Skin Contact:
Discomfort or pain cannot be relied upon to alert a person to hazardous skin exposure. Consequently, the only effective means
of avoiding skin injury or illness involves minimizing skin contact, particularly with wet cement. Exposed persons may not
feel discomfort until hours after the exposure has ended and significant injury has occurred.

Dry portland cement contacting wet skin or exposure to moist or wet portland cement may cause more severe skin effects
including thickening, cracking or fissuring of the skin. Prolonged exposure can cause severe skin damage in the form of (alkali)
chemical burns.

Some individuals may exhibit an allergic response upon exposure to portland cement, possibly due to trace elements of
chromium. The response may appear in a variety of forms ranging from a mild rash to severe skin ulcers. Persons already
sensitized may react to their first contact with the product. Other persons may first experience this effect after years of contact
with portland cement products.

Effects Resulting from Inhalation:

Portland cement may contain trace amounts of free crystalline silica. Prolonged exposure to respirable free silica can aggravate
other lung conditions and cause silicosis, a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease.

Exposure to portland cement may cause irritation to the moist mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and upper respiratory
system. It may also leave unpleasant deposits in the nose.

Effects Resulting from Ingestion:

Although small quantities of dust are not known to be harmful, ill effects are possible if larger quantities are consumed. Portland
cement should not be eaten.

Carcinogenic potential:
Portland cement is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, OSHA, or IARC. It may however, contain trace amounts of substances
listed as carcinogens by these organizations.

Crystalline silica, a potential trace level contaminate in Portland cement, is now classified by IARC as known human carcinogen
(Group I). NTP has characterized respirable silica as "reasonably anticipated to be [a] carcinogen".

Medical conditions which may be aggravated be, inhalation or dermal exposure:

Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases.
Unusual (hyper) sensitivity to hexavalent chromium (chromium +6) salts.

Section 4 - FIRST AID

Eyes
Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water. Continue flushing eye for at least 15 minutes, including under lids, to remove
all particles. Call physician immediately.

Skin
Wash skin with cool water and pH-neutral soap or a mild detergent. Seek medical treatment in all cases of prolonged exposure
to wet cement, cement mixtures, liquids from fresh cement products, or prolonged wet skin exposure to dry cement.

Inhalation of Airborne Dust

Remove to fresh air. Seek medical help if coughing and other symptoms do not subside.

Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, have the victim drink plenty of water and call a physician immediately.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Collect dry material using a scoop. Avoid actions that cause dust to become airborne. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with
skin. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as described in Section 8.

Scrape up wet material and place in an appropriate container. Allow the material to "dry" before disposal. Do not attempt to wash
portland cement down drains.

Dispose of waste material according to local, state and federal regulations.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

Keep portland cement dry until used. Normal temperatures and pressures do not affect the material.

Promptly remove dusty clothing or clothing which is wet with cement fluids and launder before reuse. Wash thoroughly after
exposure to dust or wet cement mixtures or fluids.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Skin Protection
Prevention is essential to avoiding potentially severe skin injury. Avoid contact with unhardened portland cement. If contact
occurs, promptly wash affected area with soap and water. Where prolonged exposure to unhardened portland cement products
might occur, wear impervious clothing and gloves to eliminate skin contact. Wear sturdy boots that are impervious to water to
eliminate foot and ankle exposure.

Do not rely on barrier creams: barrier creams should not be used in place of gloves.

Periodically wash areas contacted by dry portland cement or by wet cement or concrete fluids with a pH neutral soap. Wash
again at the end of work. If irritation occurs, immediately wash the affected area and seek treatment. If clothing becomes
saturated with wet concrete, it should be removed and replaced with clean dry clothing.

Respiratory Protection
Avoid actions that cause dust to become airborne. Use local or general exhaust ventilation to control exposures below
applicable exposure limits.

Use NIOSH/MSHA approved (under 30 CFR 11) or NIOSH approved (under 42 CFR 84) respirators in poorly ventilated areas,
if an applicable exposure limit is exceeded, or when dust causes discomfort or irritation. (Advisory: Respirators and filters
purchased after June 10, 1998 must be certified under 42 CFR 84.)

Ventilation
Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to control exposure within applicable limits.

Eye Protection
Where potentially subject to splashes or puffs of cement, wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles. In extremely dusty
environments and unpredictable environments wear unvented or indirectly vented goggles to avoid eye irritation or injury.
Contact lenses should not be worn when working with portland cement or fresh cement products.

Other important information

Portland cement should only be used by knowledgeable persons. A key to using the product safely requires the user to recognize
that portland cement chemically reacts with water, and that some of the intermediate products of this reaction (that is those present
while a portland cement product is "setting") pose a more severe hazard than does dry portland cement itself.

While the information provided in this material safety data sheet is believed to provide a useful summary of the hazards of portland
cement as it is commonly used, the sheet cannot anticipate and provide the all of the information that might be needed in every
situation. Inexperienced product users should obtain proper training before using this product.
