3 Hazards Identification

 Hazards designation:
Potential acute health effects: slightly hazardous in case of skin
contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant, of ingestion, of
inhalation)

Potential chronic health effect:

 Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal tract discomfort
  Inhalation: Inhalation may cause irritation to nose and throat
 Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation

 Skin Contact: Prolonged contact to charcoal dust may cause mild

irritation to skin

4 First Aid Measures

 INHALATION: Move to an area free from risk of further exposure,
intentional sneezing or coughing can provide comfort. No adverse
effects anticipated by this route of exposure incidental to proper
handling.
 EYE CONTACT: Flush with clean, lukewarm water raising upper and
lower eyelids at low pressure for 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention if no relief.
 SKIN CONTACT: Wash affected areas with soap and water.

 INGESTION: If eaten and victim complains of discomfort, induce

vomiting. Lower the head when person is vomiting to minimize entry
into throat and lungs.

breakage. Use outdoors with good ventilation.

 Handling and storage precautions: Use with adequate ventilation and

do not breathe dust or vapor. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Keep away from
heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store
in cool, dry place. Store in tightly closed container. Keep from
contact with oxiding materials.
8 Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

 Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering control to keep airborne levels below recommended
exposure limit.
 Eye protection: Use safety glasses or goggles, there is potential
for dust exposure that may cause injury to the eyes.
 Skin protection: Wear fabric gloves.
 Respiratory protection: A dust respirator may be used.
 Engineering controls: Product is used outdoors, avoid breathing the
burning vapors.
