Ready Mix Concrete <br /> Safety Data Sheet <br /> According To Federal Register/Vol.77,No.58/Monday,March 26,2012/Rules And Regulations And According To The Hazardous Products Regulation (February 11,2015). <br /> Methods for Cleaning Up:Cautiously neutralize spilled liquid. Clean up spills immediately and dispose of waste safely. Avoid actioi <br /> that cause dust to become airborne during clean-up such as dry sweeping or using compressed air. Use HEPA vacuum or thoroughly <br /> wet with water to clean-up dust. Use PPE described in Section 8.Transfer spilled material to a suitable container for disposal. <br /> Contact competent authorities after a spill. <br /> 6.4. Reference to Other Sections <br /> See Section 8 for exposure controls and personal protection and Section 13 for disposal considerations. <br /> SECTION-7: • <br /> 7.1. Precautions for Safe Handling <br /> Additional Hazards When Processed:Wet cement is corrosive.Take appropriate precautions to prevent unnecessary contact. <br /> Cutting,crushing or grinding hardened cement,concrete or other crystalline silica-bearing materials will release respirable <br /> crystalline silica. Use all appropriate measures of dust control or suppression, and Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) described in <br /> Section 8 below. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. May release corrosive vapors. <br /> Precautions for Safe Handling: Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking <br /> and when leaving work. Handle empty containers with care because they may still present a hazard. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or <br /> on clothing. Do not breathe dust, mist, and spray. <br /> Hygiene Measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. <br /> 7.2. Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities <br /> Technical Measures:Comply with applicable regulations. <br /> Storage Conditions: Keep/Store away from direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures and incompatible materials. Keep <br /> container closed when not in use.Store in a dry,cool place. Store in original container or corrosive resistant and/or lined container. <br /> Incompatible Materials:Wet cement is alkaline and is incompatible with acids,ammonium salts and aluminum metal. Cement <br /> dissolves in hydrofluoric acid, producing corrosive silicon tetrafluoride gas. Cement reacts with water to form silicates and calcium <br /> hydroxide.Silicates react with powerful oxidizers such as fluorine, boron trifluoride,chlorine trifluoride, manganese trifluoride,and <br /> oxygen difluoride. <br /> 7.3. Specific End Use(s) <br /> Ready Mix Concrete is used in the construction of various structures and objects. <br /> 'SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLSPERSONAL PROTECTION <br /> 8.1. Control Parameters <br /> For substances listed in section 3 that are not listed here, there are no established Exposure limits from the manufacturer,supplier, <br /> importer, or the appropriate advisory agency including:ACGIH (TLV),AIHA(WEEL), NIOSH (REL),OSHA(PEL),Canadian provincial <br /> governments, or the Mexican government. <br /> Cement,Portland,chemicals(65997-15-1) <br /> Mexico OEL TWA(mg/m3) 10 mg/m3 <br /> Mexico OEL STEL(mg/m3) 20 mg/m3 <br /> USA ACGIH ACGIH TWA(mg/m3) 1 mg/m3(particulate matter containing no asbestos and<1% <br /> crystalline silica, respirable particulate matter) <br /> USA ACGIH ACGIH chemical category Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen <br /> USA OSHA OSHA PEL(TWA)(mg/m3) 15 mg/m3 (total dust) <br /> 5 mg/m3 (respirable fraction) <br /> USA NIOSH NIOSH REL(TWA) (mg/m3) 10 mg/m3(total dust) <br /> 5 mg/m3(respirable dust) <br /> USA IDLH US IDLH (mg/m3) 5000 mg/m3 <br /> Alberta OEL TWA(mg/m3) 10 mg/m3 <br /> British Columbia OEL TWA(mg/m3) 1 mg/m3(particulate matter containing no Asbestos and<1% <br /> Crystalline silica-respirable particulate) <br /> Manitoba OEL TWA(mg/m3) 1 mg/m3(particulate matter containing no Asbestos and<1% <br /> Crystalline silica-respirable particulate matter) <br /> New Brunswick OEL TWA(mg/m3) 10 mg/m3(particulate matter containing no Asbestos and<1% <br /> Crystalline silica) <br /> Newfoundland&Labrador OEL TWA(mg/m3) 1 mg/m3 (particulate matter containing no Asbestos and<1% <br /> Crystalline silica-respirable particulate matter) <br /> Nova Scotia OEL TWA(mg/m3) 1 mg/m3 (particulate matter containing no Asbestos and<1% <br /> 04/13/2017 EN(English US) 4/10 <br />
