Section VI - Health Hazard Data

Route(s) Of Entry:

Inhalation: Yes

Skin: Yes

Ingestion:No

Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)

Acute - Excessive exposure to tile dust can cause eye, skin, and lung irritation from mechanical abrasion. Ingestion is not applicable for intact tile.

Chronic - Not applicable for intact tiles. Excessive exposure to tile dust can cause discomfort and mechanical irritation. Long term exposure to silica dusts can lead to silicosis.

Carcinogenicity:

NTP: Yes

IARC

Monographs: Yes

OSHA Regulated: Yes

Signs And Symptoms Of Exposure

Excessive exposure to tile dust can cause eye, skin, and lung irritation from mechanical abrasion. Long term exposure to silica dusts can lead to silicosis.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure

Existing lung disease my be aggravated after exposure to tile dusts.

Emergency And First Aid Procedures

Skin: Wash dust off any affected area with soap and water.

Inhalation: Remove the victim to fresh air if exposed to large amounts of tile cutting dust. Administer artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep victim at rest. Call for prompt medical attention.

Ingestion: Not applicable for intact tiles.

* Have emergency eyewash station available in area where tiles are cut.

Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use

Steps To Be Taken In Case Material Is Released Or Spilled

Employ closed system and/or local exhaust ventilation. Use wet methods if needed to reduce generation of dust. Use respiratory protection in the absence of engineering controls.

Waste Disposal Method

Waste should be disposed of in a landfill certified to accept such materials in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

Precautions To Be Taken In Handling And Storing

Shelf life is unlimited. Do not store near acids. If tiles contact some acids, there is limited potential for leaching heavy metals.

Other Precautions

Broken tile could be sharp; therefore, appropriate gloves should be worn if working with broken product.

Section VIII - Control Measures

Respiratory Protection (Specify Type)

Tiles should be cut using wet or dry-saw methods. Use of a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved particulate respirator is recommended when cutting tiles dry.

Ventilation:

Use adequate ventilation to keep exposure to dust below recommended exposure levels. Avoid inhaling dust. The highest probability of silica exposure occurs during dry cutting. Wet cutting methods are recommended.

Eye Protection:

Use dust-proof goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Contact lenses may absorb irritants. Do not wear contact lenses in work areas.

Skin Protection:

Cotton or leather work gloves should be worn when cutting this product to minimize skin exposure. Wash hands prior to eating drinking, or smoking, and at the end of the work shift, after cutting operations are conducted.

Other Protective Clothing or Equipment:

Note: Personal protection information listed above is based upon general information as to normal uses and conditions. Where special or unusual uses or conditions exist, it is suggested that the expert assistance of an industrial hygienist or other qualified professional be sought.

Section VIIII - Regulatory Section
