Section 2: Hazards identification
Hazardous substance non dangerous goods
There is a large proportion of fine dust which will respire into crystalline silica. When this gets wet in the final set form or wet form there is a risk of aerial respirable dust which will be low dry residues or even dust from cutting, grinding, abrading or finishing the finished product. Which can contain respirable crystalline silica.
Risk phrases:
R36/37/38: Irritating to the eyes, respiratory system and skin R43: May cause sensitisation by skin contact R66: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking
Safety phrases: S22: Do not breathe the dust S29: Do not empty into drains S36/37/39 Wear suitable ppe for example protective clothing, gloves and face protection S24/25: Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Section 3: composition/information on ingredients
Sand that is inherited in the product is mainly crystalline silica which accounts for the high content of presence in the product. Here are the prevalent constituents:
Chemical entity Proportion Cas Number
Portland cement containing 15-30% 65997-15-
Hexavalent chromium Cr(Vi) <14mg/kg% 1333-82-
Section 8: exposure controls/personal protection
Exposure limits: National occupational health and safety commision (NOHSC) Australian occupational exposure standard
Exposure to dust should be kept as low as practicable, and below the following OES. Crystalline silica (Quartz): 0 mg/m cubed TWA as respirable dust. Portland cement 10mg/m cubed TWA (time weighted average) as inspirable dust
Personal protection: Skin: minimise contact when handling dry or wet mortar, wet concrete or grout personnel should wear protective clothing and impervious footwear. If any of the clothing has become contaminated then remove the clothing and either wash it and change into new clothes.
Eyes: splash resistant safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles. Or u can wear a face shield to ensure all contact with the eyes is prevented.
Respiratory: Where engineering and handling controls are not adequate to minimise exposure to total dust respirable crystalline silica wear a suitable p1 or p2 particulate respirator.
Section 9: physical and chemical properties:
Appearance: A grey sandy mixture of fine and coarse (14mm) solid particles Odour: no distinctive Boiling/melting point: Melting point >1200 degrees C Vapour pressure: NA Specific gravity 2. Solubility in water: Slight reacts on mixing with water forming an alkaline( caustic solution ( PH> Section 10: Stability and reactivity:
Concrete mix is stable, compatible with most other building materials and will not decompose into hazardous by products and not polymerise
Chemical stability: Chemically stable Conditions to avoid: Keep free of moisture during storage Incompatible materials: NA Hazardous decomposition products: NA Hazardous reactions:NA
Section 11: Toxicological info Short Term (Acute) Exposure
Swallowed: Unlikely under normal industrial use. Mildly abrasive and corrosive to mouth and throat if swallowed. May cause nausea, stomach cramps and constipation.
Eyes: Irritating and corrosive to the eyes and may cause alkaline burns. Cement dust is irritating to the eyes to dust may aggravate existing eye irritations.
Skin: Dust is irritating and drying to the skin. Direct contact with wet products may cause serious skin burns. Within12 to 48 hours (after one to six-hour exposures) possible first, second or third degree burns may occur. There may be no obvious pain at the time of the exposure. Chronic skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure to dust or contact with wet products due to the presence of Portland cement.
Inhaled: Dust is irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory tract causing coughing and sneezing. Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases including asthma and bronchitis may be aggravated.
Long Term (Chronic) Exposure Eyes: Dust may cause irritation and inflammation of the cornea.
Skin: Repeated contact causes irritation and drying of the skin and can result in skin reddening and skin rash (dermatitis). Over time this may become chronic and can also become infected. Persons who are allergic to chromium may develop an allergic dermatitis which aggravates the irritant effects and this combination can lead to chronic cement dermatitis and serious disability particularly affecting the hands.
Inhaled: Repeated exposure to the dust may result in increased nasal and respiratory secretions and coughing. Inflammation of lining tissue of the respiratory system may follow repeated exposure to high levels of dust, with increased risk of bronchitis and pneumonia. Repeated and prolonged exposure to dust levels which exceed the OES for crystalline silica (see above) occur. This can cause bronchitis, and silicosis (scarring of the lung). Long term overexposure to respirable crystalline silica dust may increase the risk of other irreversible and serious disorders including scleroderma (a disease affecting the connective tissue of the skin, joints, blood vessels and internal organs). NOHSC has not classified crystalline silica as a carcinogen. There is debate in the medical literature concerning whether there is any risk of lung cancer arising from long term high overexposure to respirable crystalline silica. Risk of lung cancer has not been identified from using this product or sand cement mixes The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified Crystalline Silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources, as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). Portland Cement is not classified as a carcinogen by NOHSC. Of the ingredients Hexavalent Chromium (Cr VI) is classified as a carcinogen by NOHS Section 12: ecological information
Ecotoxicity: Product forms an alkaline sorry when mixed with water Persistence and degradability: Product is persistent and would have a low degradability Mobility: A low mobility would be expected in a landfill situation
Section 13: Disposal considerations Follow personal protection safety requirements. Collect in containers and dispose as trade waste and landfill in accordance to local authority guidelines
Section 14: transport information Special precautions for user: Avoid breathing dust
Section 15: regulatory information Concrete Mix is not classified as Dangerous Goods. Classified as Hazardous according to the criteria of the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC) Approved Criteria For Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC:1008] 3rd Edition Exposures by inhalation to high levels of dust may be regulated under the Hazardous Substances Regulations (State) as they are applicable to Respirable Crystalline Silica, requiring exposure assessment, controls and health surveillance (NOHSC).
