Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE
If this product comes in contact with eyes:
?Wash out immediately with water.
?If irritation continues, seek medical attention.
?Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
?Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
?Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
?If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
?Other measures are usually unnecessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
?There is no restriction on the type of extinguisher which may be used.
Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding area.
FIRE FIGHTING
?Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
?Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves for fire only.
?Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water
courses.
?Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding area.
?DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot.
?Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
?If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
?Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
?Solid which exhibits difficult combustion or is difficult to ignite.
?Avoid generating dust, particularly clouds of dust in a confined or
unventilated space as dusts may form an explosive mixture with air, and any
source of ignition, i.e. flame or spark, will cause fire or explosion. Dust
clouds generated by the fine grinding of the solid are a particular hazard;
accumulations of fine dust may burn rapidly and fiercely if ignited
?Dry dust can also be charged electrostatically by turbulence, pneumatic
transport, pouring, in exhaust ducts and during transport.
?Build-up of electrostatic charge may be prevented by bonding and grounding.
?Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may
require additional protection measures such as explosion venting.
Decomposition may produce toxic fumes of.
carbon dioxide (CO2).
other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material.
May emit poisonous fumes.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids,
chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
TLV TWA: 4 mg/m?(oat, wheat, barley) (total dust/particulate)
ES TWA: 4 mg/m?(oat, wheat, barley)
MEL TWA: 10 mg/m?(oat, wheat, barley, maize, rye) sensitiser
Exposure to grain dusts affects the upper and lower respiratory tract. Symptoms
include running nose and bronchitis. Irritant action, allergic reaction, or
both, are thought to produce these symptoms. High concentrations of the dusts
are irritating to both eyes and skin and may produce "grain fever" characterised
by chest tightness and flu-like symptoms. Studies show a decline in lung
function, in grain workers, exposed to the dust over a period of six years.
Inhalation of grain dusts may result in serious health effects including
occupational asthma, extrinsic alveolitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease. The nature of the chemical agent(s) producing these effects is unknown
but might include soils, microorganisms, pesticide residues, naturally occurring
toxins, insect parts, animal hairs, other proteins, and even small amounts of
free silica. [EH64 Summary Criteria for Occupational Exposure Limits- Health and
Safety Executive, UK].
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
?Safety glasses with side shields
?Chemical goggles.
?Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them.
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
OTHER
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE:
?Overalls.
?Barrier cream.
?Eyewash unit.
GLOVE SELECTION INDEX
Glove selection is based on a modified presentation of the:
"Forsberg Clothing Performance Index".
The effect(s) of the following substance(s) are taken into account in the
computer-generated selection:
Protective Material CPI *.
________________________________
________________________________
* CPI - Chemwatch Performance Index
A: Best Selection
B: Satisfactory; may degrade after 4 hours continuous immersion
C: Poor to Dangerous Choice for other than short term immersion
NOTE: As a series of factors will influence the actual performance of the glove,
a final selection must be based on detailed observation. -
* Where the glove is to be used on a short term, casual or infrequent basis,
factors such as "feel" or convenience (e.g. disposability), may dictate a choice
of gloves which might otherwise be unsuitable following long-term or frequent
use. A qualified practitioner should be consulted.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
?Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or
crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will
be powdered by mutual friction.
?If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air
could occur, respiratory protection should be considered.
Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption
cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification
systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating
animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of
the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g
liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic
substances are generally based on doses producing mortality rather than those
producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may
produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of
insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.
EYE
The dust may produce eye discomfort causing transient smarting, blinking.
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,
may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the
use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and
inhalation of generated dusts. Exposure by all routes is considered to be
practically non harmful.
