5/15

6.3 Measures and materials for containment and cleaningSpillage should be cleaned up using dry methods.

Dry cementPrefer dry clean-up methods and avoid spreading the dust (for example use an industrial vacuum cleaner equipped with appropriate filters (EPAand HEPA), or make it wet and remove applying wet cement techniques.

Wet cementWet cement should be removed mechanically, wait until it sets and hardens on a plastic foil or in a special container and dispose as described in Section 13.

6.4 Reference to Sections7., 8. and 13. for further information.

SECTION 7:HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 Precautions for safe handlingCannot be stored or used around food, beverages or tobacco products.Additionally, the regulations of Section 8 must be followed. Avoid formation of dust. In case of bagged product or open mixing equipment alwaysadd water first, and mix in cement carefully. Keep the filling height as low as possible. Slowly speed up the mixer. Please see section 6.3 regarding clean-up methods for spillage. Lifting cement bags may increase muscle rigidity, and may lead to muscle strain in your lower back, arms, shoulders and legs. Be careful at all times, lift in an adequate and suitable manner.

7.2 Conditions for safe storageStore in the original package.Bulk cement should be stored in a silo, which is dry (internal condensation to be minimized), waterproof, clean and protected against dirt.Entering a place used for bulk cement storage, like a silo, a tanker truck or other container without adequate safety preparations is prohibited,since there is a risk of burial and suffocation. Cement might form barricades and sludges, which can slide unexpectedly. To preserve the product,unopened bags should be stored on the floor in a dry and cold place protected from wind. The bags should be stored securely.

7.3 Specific end-use Checking of water soluble chromium (VI) content:Please keep in mind that in case of cements treated with chromium-reducing agents the effect of the agent decreases with time. For this reason, there is a best before date indicated on the cement bags / delivery documents. Until this date, the water soluble chromium (VI) content remains under 0.0002% (in accordance with the provisions of the REACH Regulation). The manufacturer’s instructions for storage must be observed. Inadequate (wet) or too long storage might decrease or terminate the effect of the chromium-reducing agent, which might result in irritation in case of skin contact.

A For each individual PROC, users can choose from either option A) or B) in the table, according to what is best suited to their specific situation. If one option is chosen, then the same option has to be chosen in the table from section “8.2.2 Individual protection measures such as personal protection equipment” - Specification of respiratory protective equipment.

An overview of the APFs of different RPE (according to EN 529:2005) can be found in the glossary of MEASE (16). Any RPE as defined above shall only be worn if the following principles are implemented in parallel: The duration of work (compare with “duration of exposure” above) should reflect the additional physiological stress for the worker due to the breathing resistance and mass of the RPE itself, due to the increased thermal stress by enclosing the head. In addition, it shall be considered that the worker’s capability of using tools and of communicating are reduced during the wearing of RPE. For reasons as given above, the worker should therefore be (i) healthy (especially in view of medical problems that may affect the use of RPE), (ii) have suitable facial characteristics reducing leakages between face and mask (in view of scars and facial hair). The recommended devices above which rely on a tight face seal will not provide the required protection unless they fit the contours of the face properly and securely. The employer and self-employed persons have legal responsibilities for the maintenance and issue of respiratory protective devices and the management of their correct use in the workplace. Therefore, they should define and document a suitable policy for a respiratory protective device programme including training of the workers.

8.3 Environmental exposure controls

Emissions from the work process equipment should be checked to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Technicalmodifications to the process equipment will be necessary in some cases in order to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

SECTION 11:TOXICOLOGICAL DATA

Hazard rate Category Effect Reference

Acute toxicity – skin -Threshold limit test, rabbit, 24 hours, 2000mg/kg weight – no lethality.Based on available data, classification criteria not met.

(2)

Acute toxicity – inhalation -Threshold limit test, rat, 5g/m3 – no acute toxicity.The study was made using portland cement clinker, the main component of cement.Based on available data, classification criteria not met.

(4)

Acute toxicity – ingestion -No acute oral toxicity experienced during animal studies.Based on available data, classification criteria not met.

Literature

Skin irritation/skin damage

2

The cement is skin- and mucous membrane irritant. Dry cement contacting wet skin, or skin contacting damp or wet cement can lead to various inflammatory and irritant skin reactions, e.g. redness and roughness. Long-term contact along with abrasive influences can lead to serious skin damage.

(2) and humanexperience

also

Severity of eye damage/skin irritation

1

In vitro studies showed that the Portland cement clinker (main component of cement) hasvarious serious effects on cornea. Irritation index of 128 calculated. Direct contact withcement might cause corneal damage or Scleritis; partly due to mechanical effect, and partlybecause of immediate or delayed inflammation.

(5), (6) and humanexperience

also

Skin sensibility 1

Contact with wet cement may cause eczema for some people. These cases might be caused by pH level (irritant contact dermatitis) or by immunological reactions from water soluble chromium (VI) content (allergic contact dermatitis). The skin reacts in different ways from mild rushes to severe dermatitis, which can be derived from the combination of the two mechanisms. Accurate diagnosis is often difficult to find. Therefore the water soluble chromium content has to be reduced under 0.0002% using suitable reducing agent. There should be no increased sensibility as long as the best before date of the chromium reducing agent has not been exceeded.

(3), (7)

Sensibility of the respiratory system

- No signs of over-sensibility in the respiratory system caused by cement. (1)

Germ cell mutagenicity -No evidence of mutagenic effects of cement.Based on available data, classification criteria not met.

(8), (9)

Carcinogenesis -

No causal relationship found between cement and cancer. Epidemiological studies indicateno link between cancer and exposure to cement. Portland cement is not considered to be ahuman carcinogen according to ACGIH A4. In vitro studies and animal tests do not providesufficient evidence to demonstrate a carcinogenic effect.Based on available data, classification criteria not met.

(1), (10)

Reproductive toxicity - Based on available data, classification criteria not met.No evidence

based on humanexperience

Specific target organtoxicity in case ofsingle exposure

3

Exposure to cement dust may lead to irritation of the respiratory tract (mouth, throat, lungs). Meeting or exceeding the occupational exposure limit may result in coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Long term occupational exposure may damage the respiratory system. However there is no sufficient information available to allow an estimation of the doseresponse relationship.

(1)

Specific target organtoxicity in case of

repetitive exposure-

Exceeding the occupational exposure limit may result in coughing, shortness of breath andchronic obstructive lesions in the respiratory tract. No chronic effects observed at lowconcentrations. Based on available data, classification criteria not met.

(11)

Aspiration - Not relevant, not present as aerosol.

Inhalation of cement may intensify existing respiratory disease, for example asthma or pulmonary emphysema.Contact with cement dust may aggravate existing skin diseases or sicknesses affecting the organs of sight.

11/15

SECTION 12:ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

12.1 ToxicityThis product does not threaten the environment. Bio-toxicological analysis of Portland cement using Daphnia magna (U.S. EPA, 1994a) (12) andSelenastrum coli (U.S. EPA, 1993) (13) showed slight toxic effects. Therefore LC50 and EC50 values could not be determined. Large quantitiesof cement disposed into water might shift the pH values, which might have a toxic effect on aquatic life in some circumstances.

12.2 Persistence and degradabilityNot applicable, as cement is an inorganic mineral product. After hydration the cement residues do not represent a toxicological risk.

12.3 Bioaccumulative capabilityNot applicable, as it is an inorganic mineral product.

12.4 Mobility in soilNot applicable, as cement is an inorganic mineral product. After hydration the cement residues do not represent a toxicological risk.
