Section 03 Hazards Identification : Emergency Overview
Solid sheet(s) of varying colour(s), Dust(s) generated during machining may cause mechanical
irritation to the skin Eyes, and respiratory system.
Routes of Entry Inhalation (dust during machining). Eye contact/skin contact.
Potential ACUTE The product will not easily enter the human body. As received the
Health effects product is a solid sheet. As such, there would not be any health
hazards with it however, if any cutting, sanding or routing takes
place, dust may be generated that may cause mechanical irritation
to the eyes and respiratory tract.
Eyes: Dust generated during fabrication may irritate the eyes.
Skin: Any sharp edge will cut or abrade the skin. Dust generated by fabri-
cation may cause skin sensitization. Methacrylate has been shown
to cause allergic responses at high concentrations.
Respiratory Tract: Dust generated during fabrication may cause irritation to respira-
tory tract, characterized by sneezing and coughing. May cause
headache in case of long term exposure.

Section 04 First Aid Measures
Eye Contact Upon contact with nuisance dust particles, flush eyes
immediately with large amounts of water for a minimum
of 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact Not expected to be a problem. May cause skin sensiti-
zation. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated
skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. If irri-
tation persists, seek medical attention.
Inhalation Repeated or prolonged inhalation of dust may lead to
chronic respiratory irritation. Allow the victim to rest in
a well ventilated area. Oxygen may be administered if
breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion Not applicable
