   Special Fire-Fighting Procedures:  Water to wet dust and reduce likelihood

             of ignition or dispersion of dust into the air.

   Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard:  Wood dust is strong to severe explosion hazard if dust cloud contacts an ignition source.

            Spill/Leak Procedures:  Sweep or vacuum spills.  Avoid creating dust conditions.  Provide good ventilation where dust may accumulate.  Place recovered wood dust in disposal containers.

            Handling Precautions:  Handle in accordance with traditional hygiene and safety practices.  These include the avoidance of unnecessary exposure to chips and dust from machine operation, paying particular attention to protection of eyes, skin and clothing.  Wash thoroughly after handling.  Always use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

            Storage Requirements:  Store flat, supported and protected from contact with ground.  Store in well- ventilated location away from incompatible materials.  Store in cool and dry location.

            Engineering Controls:  Provide exhaust ventilation or other controls to prevent accumulation of airborne concentrations of dust above the recommended exposure limits.  Locate eye wash station near the work station.

            Respiratory Protection: Dust mask.

            IARC has classified wood dust as a carcinogen to humans.  (Group One).  This classification is based primarily on IARC’s evaluation of increased risk in the occurrence of adenocarcinomas of the nasal cavities and para nasal sinuses associated with exposure to wood dust.  IARC did not find sufficient evidence to associate cancers of the oropharynx, hypopharynx, lung, lmphatic and hematopoietic systems, stomach, colon or rectum with exposure to wood dust. 

Section Twelve:  Ecological Information.  No known evidence of adverse effects.

Section Thirteen:  Disposal Considerations:
