4. FIRST AID MEASURES.

4.1 EYE CONTACT.

Gentle irrigate with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Move eyeball and keep eyelids wide open and apart whilst irrigating. Obtain medical attention immediately.

4.5. PROTECTION OF FIRST AIDERS

No special protective equipment required

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES.

5.1 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA.

Is not flammable therefore not applicable.

5.2 HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS.

Not applicable.

5.3. PROTECTION MEASURES.

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES.

6.1 PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS.

Ensure adequate ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory protection

6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS.

Prevent further leakage or spillage. See section 12 for additional information.

6.3 CLEANING UP.

Avoid creating dust. Collect dry material by vacuum cleaning. Wear protective clothing stated in section 8.3

7. STORAGE AND HANDLING

7.1 STORAGE.

Both machined and un-machined items should be packed to prevent movement, abrasion during movement and absorption of water. Otherwise normal safe precaution for handling can be employed. To avoid damage and distortion, store on a smooth level foundation.

7.2 RECOMMENDED SHELF LIFE.

Mineral fibre products are chemically stable and their life is no hazard under normal storage conditions

7.3 HANDLING.

A small proportion of personnel may be sensitive to the dust and develop a skin irritation when in contact with it. All machining will create dust, a portion of which may be in the form of respirable fibres. Where the amount of dust produced is likely to exceed the control limit, approved extraction equipment must be used and if this is not adequate, approved dust respirators used in the vicinity.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION.

11.1 SHORT TERM EFFECTS.

EYE CONTACT. Irritation.

SKIN CONTACT. Slight irritation may occur.

INGESTION. Not expected route of exposure. Product does not present any acute toxicity hazard based on known information.

INHALATION. Product does not present any acute toxicity hazard based on known information.

11.2 CHRONIC EFFECTS

Experiences in human studies: large morbidity and mortality studies of both European and North American mineral wool (rock stone) manufacturing workers have been conducted with the traditional mineral wools. The studies have found no significant evidence of non-malignant lung disease (e.g. Fibrosis). The exonerated mineral wool has not been subject to epidemiological studies but consists of the less bio persistent fibres, which will disappear even faster from the lung than the rock (stone) wool fibres.
