accidental ingestion likely to occur during normal handling by workers, Absorption lo larger
amounts may cause irritation due to abrasiveness, first aid unlikely to be required, but if necessary
wash mouth with clean water and ensure it is not swallowed, Contact a qualified medical
practitioner immediately if any problem develop.

Skin: There are no known adverse health effects from sin contact that may happen during normal
handling. Contact a qualified medial practitioner, if any problem develops. Contact under pressure,
during blasting will damage skin. Gently remove the contaminated clothing to avoid dust, and then
wash the skin. If irritation is persists, contact a qualified medical practitioner immediately.

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
______________________________________________________________________________________

Eye Solid or dust is moderate eye irritant due to its abrasive action.
Inhalation May be regarded as nuisance dust but can be irritating if inhaled at high
concentrations and may cause symptoms such as coughing and sneezing. The TLV
3
(TWA) for occupational exposure nominate 10 mg/ m as total dust and
3
5 mg/m as a respirable dust.
Skin Non hazardous.
Ingestion There are no known hazards caused by accidental ingestion of small amount such as
might occur during normal handling. Ingestion of larger quantities might cause
irritation of the gastro-intestinal system as a result of abrasive action.
Radiation Garnet contains trace (ppm level) amount of the naturally occurring radioactive
substances such as Uranium & Thorium. However the concentration of the Uranium
and Thorium are not sufficient for garnet to be classified as a radioactive substance
under International Atomic Energy Agency Regulation for the safe transport of
radioactive material.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Hold eye as open and rinse continuously with a gentle stream of clean running water
for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if any irritation or soreness of eye
persists.
Inhalation Remove from source of exposure into fresh air and seek medical attention if any
symptoms persist.
Skin No specific first aid is required for skin contact. Remove clothing &wash skin with soap
and /or water. Seek medical attention if any irritation or soreness of the skin develops.
Ingestion First aid is unlikely to be required but if necessary rinse mouth with water ensuring that
mouth wash is not swallowed and seek medical attention as a precautionary measure if
 large amounts have been ingested.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

This is a non-combustible material. Use whatever protective equipment and extinguishing agent are
suitable for the primary cause of fire.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:

Wear safety equipment for normal handling, avoid generating dust, sweep or vacuum up, recycle/ reuse
or dispose to landfill subject to local regulations. Transport is not regulated and no specific storage
requirements.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Storage Transport is not regulated and there is no specific storage requirement but
storage should be designed to minimize creation of the dust.
Spillage Wear protective equipment as specified for handling. Sweep or vacuum up and
reuse or dispose. Avoid generation of dust.
Waste disposal Disposal to land fill such a way as to prevent generation of dust and subjected to
local regulations.
Fire explosion Incombustible
Fire extinguishing Use whatever protective equipments and extinguishing agent that are suitable
for primary cause of fire.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Ventilation Ventilation requirement will depend upon handling methods and amount in use
but extraction or make up air may be required to minimize dust layers/levels
below exposure limits.
Protective Safety goggles or glasses. A dust type respirator may be required to prevent
equipments ingestion.
3
TLV ( TWA ) 10 mg/m as total dust.
