OSHA Hazard
possible respiratory irritant.
Classification:
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, skin, eyes, ingestion
Chemical Interactions: No known or reported interactions.
Medical Conditions Aggravated: Inhalation of the dust from this material at concentrations above the TLV
can aggravate pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases such as
bronchitis, emphysema and asthma., Skin diseases including eczema and
sensitization

HMIS 2 1 0
NFPA 2 1 0
Immediate (Acute) Health Effects
Inhalation: Airborne treated or untreated wood dust may cause nose, throat or lung
irritation.
Skin Irritation: Handling of wood may result in skin exposure to splinters. Prolonged and/or
repeated contact with treated or untreated wood dust may result in mild
irritation.
Eye Irritation: Treated or untreated wood dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Ingestion: Not expected to be a route of exposure in normal industrial use.
Acute Target Organ Toxicity: Skin, Eyes, Respiratory Tract
Prolonged (Chronic) Health Effects
Carcinogenicity: IARC has classified untreated hardwood and hardwood/softwood mix wood dust as a
Group 1 human carcinogen. The wood dust classification is based primarily on
IARC's evaluation of increased risk in the occurrence of adenocarcinomas of the
nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses associated with occupational exposures to
untreated wood dust. NTP has classified all untreated wood dust as a carcinogen.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: IF INHALED: Remove individual to fresh air. Seek medical attention if breathing
becomes difficult or if respiratory irritation develops. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. Call for medical assistance.
Skin Contact: IF ON SKIN: Flush skin with water for 15 minutes. Take off all contaminated clothing.
Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: IF IN EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention if irritation develops.
Ingestion: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately drink water to dilute. Seek medical attention if
symptoms develop. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Summary (OSHA): Product is not known to be flammable, combustible, pyrophoric or
explosive.
Fire / Explosion Hazards: If the product is involved in a fire, toxic smokes could develop. Dust may
be ignitable if mixed with air in the presence of an ignition source.
Extinguishing Media: Water spray

MATERIAL SAFETY
DATA SHEET
Fire Fighting Instructions: In case of fire, use normal fire-fighting equipment and the personal
protective equipment recommended in Section 8 to include a NIOSH
approved self-contained breathing apparatus.
Hazardous Combustion During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by
Products: thermal decomposition or combustion., Hazardous combustion and/or
decomposition products may include but are not limited to: Copper
Fumes, Copper metal and copper oxides
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Protection for No extra protection required beyond that listed in Section 8. In case of
Emergency Situations: fire, use normal fire fighting equipment.
Spill or Leak Procedures: Not applicable
Waste Disposal: See Section 13.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: DO NOT BURN TREATED WOOD. Whenever possible, sawing or machining
treated or untreated wood should be performed outdoors to avoid accumulations of
airborne wood dust. Wear gloves, eye protection, dust mask and protective
clothing. Do not use treated chips or sawdust as mulch. Wash hands thoroughly
before eating, drinking, using tobacco products, and/or using restrooms.
Storage: Keep away from unguarded flame, sparks, and heat sources. Protect from physical
damage. Maintain good housekeeping.
Incompatible Materials: Oxidizers strong acids and bases
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation: Whenever possible, sawing or machining treated or untreated wood should be
performed outdoors or in well ventilated areas to avoid accumulations of airborne
wood dust. Ventilation should be sufficient to maintain exposures below the
recommended exposure limits.
Protective Equipment for Routine Use of Product
Respiratory Protection : When sawing or cutting treated or untreated wood, wear a NIOSH approved P95
or P100 Particulate filter respirator.
FOR PLYWOOD PRODUCTS ONLY: If formaldehyde vapor levels exceed the recommended
exposure limits, wearing a NIOSH approved respirator is required. Formaldehyde is a by-product of
the untreated plywood article and not the result of this treatment.
Respirator Type : For plywood products only: A NIOSH approved full-face air purifying respirator
with combination formaldehyde/organic vapor cartridge and a P100 filter. (Air
purifying respirators should not be used in oxygen deficient or IDLH atmospheres or if exposure
concentrations exceed ten (10) times the published limit.)
Skin Protection : Wear leather gloves. Wear long sleeve shirt, pants, and steel-toed shoes when
handling treated or untreated wood.
Eye Protection: Use safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles when sawing or cutting
treated or untreated wood.
