page 2 of 8
 Cement is made from materials mined from the earth and processed using energy provided by fuels.
Additional materials, such as pozzolan may also be introduced into the cement manufacturing
process. A chemical analysis of cement may reveal trace amounts of naturally occurring but
potentially harmful chemical compounds such as silica (quartz), potassium and sodium compounds.
Other trace constituents may include calcium oxide (also known as free lime or quick lime) and
compounds from grinding aids.

SECTION IV – FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures

Inhalation : If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in
a position comfortable for breathing. Get immediate medical
advice/attention.
Skin contact : In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water.
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing
before reuse. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Eye contact : If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove
contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
Immediately call a doctor
Ingestion : If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get immediate medical advice/attention.

Important Symptomps and Effects (Acute and Delayed)

Inhalation : May irritate nose and throat if dust is inhaled. Prolonged or
repeated inhalation of respirable
Skin contact : Causes skin irritation if exposed to moisture on skin creating
redness, dryness and itching.
Extended exposure to wet material will result in chemical burns to
skin, possibly severe.
Eye contact : Causes serious eye irritation and may scratch eye surface due to
particle abrasion. May cause chemical burns resulting in corneal
damage.
Ingestion : May cause irritation and burns of mouth, throat, stomach and
digestive tract if swallowed.

Recommendations for Immediate Medical Care or Special Treatment

Seek immediate medical attention for inhalation of large quantities of dust or exposure of wet material
over large areas of skin. Seek immediate medical attention if material comes into contact with eyes
and cannot be immediately removed.

SECTION V – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

General Fire Hazards : None. Material is not considered flammable or combustible.

Extinguishing Media : Use water or water spray to extinguish any fires involving this
material.
Extinguishing Media to Avoid : None.
Hazards of Combustion : None.
Fire Fighting Recommendations : Firefighters should always wear full protective gear to fight any
fire.

SECTION VI – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Precautions : Avoid creating dust. Prevent material from entering sewers,

drains, ditches or waterways.
Personal Protection : Wear respiratory protection and protective eyewear/clothing to
avoid eye or skin contact.
Emergency Procedures : Ventilate area and avoid creating dust. Remove unnecessary
persons from area.
Containment Procedures : Barricade solid material to prevent additional spillage.
Clean Up Procedures : Scoop or vacuum up spilled material while avoiding dust creation.
Scoop up wet material and place in approved container. Allow wet
material to harden before disposal.

SECTION VII – HANDLING AND STORAGE

Safe Handling Practices : Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Avoid breathing dust. Use only in
well ventilated areas. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment to prevent eye or skin contact and use respiratory
protection equipment if dusty or in poorly ventilated areas.
Safe Storage Measures : Store in well-ventilated areas away from moisture and
incompatible materials. If stored in containers, keep containers
closed when not in use.
Incompatible Materials : Water/moisture exposure will cause material to generate heat.
Keep away from fluoride compounds, strong acids, alkalines, and
oxidizers. Cement dissolves in hydrofluoric acid, producing
corrosive silicon tetrafluoride gas.
