SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye: No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove contact lenses, if worn, and flush eyes with
water.
Skin: No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove clothing and shoes if contaminated. To
remove the material from skin, apply a waterless hand cleaner, mineral oil, or petroleum jelly. Then wash with soap and
water. Discard contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean before reuse.
Ingestion: No specific first aid measures are required. Do not induce vomiting. As a precaution, get medical advice.
Inhalation: No specific first aid measures are required. If exposed to excessive levels of material in the air, move the
exposed person to fresh air. Get medical attention if coughing or respiratory discomfort occurs.
Note to Physicians: In an accident involving high-pressure equipment, this product may be injected under the skin.
Such an accident may result in a small, sometimes bloodless, puncture wound. However, because of its driving force,
material injected into a fingertip can be deposited into the palm of the hand. Within 24 hours, there is usually a great deal
of swelling, discoloration, and intense throbbing pain. Immediate treatment at a surgical emergency center is
recommended.

If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into
fresh air. Flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids
apart; seek immediate medical attention.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with large amounts of water.
If skin is damaged, seek immediate medical attention. If skin is not damaged and
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Ingestion
Seek medical attention. If individual is drowsy or unconscious, do not give
anything by mouth; place individual on the left side with the head down. Contact a
physician, medical facility, or poison control center for advice about whether to induce
vomiting. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.
Inhalation
If symptoms develop, move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
Keep person warm and quiet; seek immediate medical attention.
Notes to physician
Hazards: Acute aspiration of large amounts of oil-laden material may produce a
serious aspiration pneumonia. Patients who aspirate these oils should be followed for the
development of long-term sequelae. Repeated aspiration of small quantities of mineral
oil can produce chronic inflammation of the lungs (i.e. lipoid pneumonia) that may
progress to pulmonary fibrosis. Symptoms are often subtle and radiological changes
appear worse than clinical abnormalities. Occasionally, persistent cough, irritation of the
upper respiratory tract, shortness of breath with exertion, fever, and bloody sputum occur.
Inhalation exposure to oil mists below current workplace exposure limits is unlikely to
cause pulmonary abnormalities.
Treatment: No information available.

Precautions for fire-fighting
Wear full firefighting turn-out gear (full Bunker gear), and respiratory protection
(SCBA). DO NOT direct a solid stream of water or foam into hot, burning pools of
liquid since this may cause frothing and increase fire intensity. Frothing can be violent
and possibly endanger any firefighter standing too close to the burning liquid. Use water
spray to cool fire exposed containers and structures until fire is out if it can be done with
minimal risk. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling purposes.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions
For personal protection see section 8. Persons not wearing protective equipment
should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed.
Environmental precautions
Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Do not
let product enter drains. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for cleaning up
Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Soak up with inert absorbent
material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).
Other information
Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied
containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions

Exposure Guidelines
General advice
These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product.
Personal protective equipment should be selected for individual applications and should
consider factors which affect exposure potential, such as handling practices, chemical
concentrations and ventilation. It is ultimately the responsibility of the employer to
follow regulatory guidelines established by local authorities.
Exposure controls
General room ventilation should be adequate for normal conditions of use.
However, if unusual operating conditions exist, provide sufficient mechanical (general
and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below exposure guidelines (if
applicable) or below levels that cause known, suspected or apparent adverse effects.
Eye protection
Not required under normal conditions of use. Wear splash-proof safety goggles if
material could be misted or splashed into eyes.
Skin and body protection
Not normally required. However, wear resistant gloves such as nitrile rubber to prevent
irritation which may result from prolonged or repeated skin contact with product.
Wear normal work clothing including long pants, long-sleeved shirts and foot covering to
prevent direct contact of the product with the skin. Launder clothing before reuse. If
skin irritation develops, contact your facility health and safety professional or your local
safety equipment supplier to determine the proper personal protective equipment for your
use.

Section V - Health Hazard Data
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acute Effects: Wet cement on unprotected skin, whether direct or through saturated clothing, can cause severe, third
degree caustic burns. NOTE: Portland cement burns skin with little warning; discomfort or pain cannot be
relied upon to alert a person to a hazardous skin exposure. The severity of the burn may not be detected until
several hours after the damage begins. Dry portland cement can produce mild irritation to severe burns of the eye;
it can irritate the upper respiratory system.
Ash Grove Cement Company
Portland Cement - Page 3
Chronic Effects: Dry portland cement can cause inflammation of the lining of the nose and the cornea. Repeated
exposure to portland cement may result in drying of the skin and may lead to thickening, cracking, or fissuring of the
skin. Hypersensitive individuals may develop an allergic dermatitis (possibly due to trace amounts of hexavalent
chromium at less than 0.005%). This reaction may appear in several forms including a mild rash to severe skin
ulcers. Persons already sensitized may react to their first contact with the product. Other persons may experience
this effect after years of exposure to portland cement products.
While portland cement typically has less than 0.2% crystalline silica, other additives to portland cement and those
components (e.g. aggregates) added to produce portland cement concrete may significantly increase the amount of
crystalline silica that is present. Exposure to respirable crystalline silica without the use of a respirator can cause
silicosis and may aggravate other lung conditions.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Burning sensation around moist tissue areas (i.e., eyes, nose, upper respiratory
system); painful burning on exposed skin that can develop with little warning. Exposure of sufficient duration to
wet portland cement can cause serious, potentially irreversible tissue (skin or eye) destruction in the form of
chemical (caustic) burns, including third degree burns. The same kind of destruction can occur if wet or moist
areas of the body are exposed for sufficient duration to dry portland cement. DO NOT ALLOW WET
PORTLAND CEMENT TO GET INSIDE BOOTS, SHOES, OR GLOVES AND DO NOT ALLOW WET,
SATURATED CLOTHING TO REMAIN AGAINST THE SKIN.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Pre-existing skin conditions may be worsened. Silicosis
may aggravate other chronic pulmonary conditions and may increase the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis infection.
Chemical Listed as Carcinogenic or Potential Carcinogen: Portland cements are not considered carcinogenic.
However, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined, primarily through animal
studies, that silica is a known human carcinogen. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has characterized
respirable quartz silica as reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen. OSHA does not regulate silica as a carcinogen.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Irrigate eyes immediately and repeatedly with large amount of clean water
for at least 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. Wash exposed skin areas with pH-neutral soap and clean
water. Apply sterile dressings; seek medical treatment in all cases of prolonged exposure to wet portland cement,
portland cement mixtures, liquids from fresh portland cement products, or prolonged wet skin exposure to dry
portland cement. If ingested, consult a physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, have the
victim drink plenty of water and call a physician immediately. In the event of inhalation, remove to fresh air. Seek
medical attention if coughing and other symptoms do not subside. Inhalation of gross amounts of portland cement
requires immediate medical attention.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section VII-Reactivity Data
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stability: Product is stable. Keep dry until used.
Incompatibility: Aluminum powder and other alkali and alkaline earth elements will react in wet mortar or
concrete, liberating hydrogen gas. Portland cement is highly alkaline and will react with acids to produce a violent,
heat-generating reaction. Toxic gases or vapors may be given off depending on the acid involved.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: None

Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section VII - Spill Procedures
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steps to be taken in case material is spilled: Use dry cleanup methods that do not disperse the dust into the air.
Avoid breathing the dust. Emergency procedures are not required.
Disposal Method: Small amounts of material can be returned to the container for later use if it is not contaminated.
Dispose of waste material in accordance with Federal, State and local requirements. Portland cement is not a
hazardous waste as defined by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (40 CFR 261).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section VIII - Special Protection Information
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Respiratory Protection: Avoid actions that cause dust to become airborne. Use local or general ventilation to
control exposures below applicable exposure limits.
Use NIOSH/MSHA-approved (under 30 CFR 11) or NIOSH-approved (under 42 CFR 84) respirators in poorly
ventilated areas, if an applicable exposure limit is exceeded, or when dust causes discomfort or irritation. (Advisory:
Respirators and filters purchased after July 10, 1998 must be certified under 42 CFR 84.)
Ventilation: Local exhaust can be used to control airborne dust levels.
Eye Protection: When engaged in activities where portland cement dust or wet portland cement or concrete could
contact the eye, wear goggles or safety glasses with sideshields. In extremely dusty environments and unpredictable
environments, wear unvented or indirectly vented goggles to avoid eye irritation or injury. Contact lenses should not
be worn when working with portland cement or wet portland cement products.
Skin Protection: Prevention is essential to avoiding potentially severe skin injury. Avoid contact with unhardened
(wet) portland cement products. If contact occurs, promptly wash affected area with soap and water. DO NOT
ALLOW WET PORTLAND CEMENT TO GET INSIDE BOOTS, SHOES, OR GLOVES AND DO NOT
ALLOW WET, SATURATED CLOTHING TO REMAIN AGAINST THE SKIN.
Do not rely on barrier creams; barrier creams should not be used in place of gloves. Use impervious, abrasion- and
alkali-resistant gloves, boots and protective clothing to protect the skin from prolonged contact with wet portland
cement in plastic concrete, mortar or slurries.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Periodically wash areas contacted by dry portland cement or by wet portland cement or
concrete fluids with a pH neutral soap and clean, uncontaminated water. Wash again at the end of the work. If irritation
occurs, immediately wash the affected area and seek treatment. If clothing becomes saturated with wet portland cement
or concrete, it should be removed and replaced with clean dry clothing.
Follow listed precautions as appropriate during
repair or maintenance work on contaminated equipment.
