Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APPRVD RESP SHOULD BE USED IF VENT IS
    UNAVAIL/INADEQ FOR KEEPING DUST & FIBER LEVELS BELOW APPLIC EXPOS
    LIMS. IN THOSE CASES, USE NIOSH APPRVD DISPOSABLE OR REUSABLE
    EXPOS LIMS USE NIOSH APPRVD QUARTER-MASK (OTHER INFO)
Ventilation:LOC EXHST VENT @ AREAS OF CUTTING TO REMOVE AIRBORNE DUST &
    FIBERS. GEN DILUTION VENT AS NEC TO KEEP AIRBORNE DUST & FIBERS
    BELOW APPLIC EXPOS (ECOLOGICAL INFO)
    USED.
Other Protective Equipment:LOOSE-FITTING, LONG-SLEEVED CLTHG TO PROTECT
    SKIN FROM IRRIT. EXPOSED SKIN AREAS SHOULD BE WASHED W/SOAP & WARM
    WATER AFTER HNDLG OR WORKING W/FIBER GLASS.
Work Hygienic Practices:CLTHG SHOULD BE WASHED SEPARATELY FROM OTHER
    CLOTHES & WASHER SHOULD BE RINSED THOROUGHLY (RUN EMPTY FOR
    COMPLETE WASH CYCLE). THIS WILL REDUCE CHANCES OF FIBER GLASS BEING
    TRANSFERRED TO OTHER CLTHG.

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: DUST FROM PROD IS MECH IRRITANT
    WHICH MEANS IT MAY CAUSE IRRIT OR SCRATCHINESS OF THROAT &/OR

    LOCAL CTL GROUPS. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THIS EXCESS IS
    RELATED TO BRTHG FIBER GLASS. FIVE PREVIOUS C HRONIC INHAL STUDIES
    (SUPDAT)
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: IRRITATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY
    TRACT (SCRATCHY THROAT), COUGHING AND CONGESTION MAY OCCUR IN
    EXTREME EXPOSURES. SKIN: TEMPORARY IRRITATION (ITCHING) OR REDNESS
    MAY OCCUR. ABSORPTION:  NOT APPLICABLE. INGESTION: THIS PRODUCT IS
    NOT INTENDED TO BE INGESTED OR EATING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF
    USE. IF INGESTED, IT MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY IRRITATION TO THE
    GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, ESPECIALL Y THE STOMACH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING CHRONIC RESPIRATORY,
    SKIN OR EYE DISEASES OR CONDITIONS.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. DRINK WATER TO CLEAR THROAT &
    BLOW NOSE TO REMOVE FIBERS & DUSTS. SKIN: WASH GENTLY W/SOAP & WARM
    WATER TO REMOVE DUST & FIBERS. WASH HANDS BEFORE EATING OR USING
    RESTROOM.  INGEST: TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY. RINSE MOUTH W/WATER TO
    REMOVE FIBERS & DRINK PLENTY OF WATER TO HELP REDUCE IRRIT. NO
    CHRONIC EFTS EXPECTED FOLLOWING INGEST. EYES: DO NOT RUB OR SCRATCH
    EYES. DUST PAR TICLES MAY CAUSE EYE TO BE SCRATCHED. FLUSH EYES
    NOTES TO MD: PROD IS MECH IRRITANT & IS NOT EXPECTED TO PRDCE ANY
    CHRONIC HLTH EFTS  FROM ACUTE EXPOS. (SUPDAT)
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE (CO*2), WATER, WATER FOG, DRY
    CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT. NO SPECIAL PROCEDURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE NECESSARY FOR
    THIS PRODUCT. NORMAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURRES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED
    TO AVOID INHALATION OF S MOKE AND GASES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:THERE IS NO POTENTIAL FOR FIRE OR
    EXPLOSION.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:PICK UP LARGE PIECES. VACUUM DUSTS. IF
    SWEEPING IS NECESSARY, USE A DUST SUPPRESSANT SUCH AS WATER. DO NOT
    DRY SWEEP DUST ACCUMULATION OR USE COMPRESSED AIR TO CLEAN-UP.
    THESE PROCEDURES WILL HELP TO  MINIMIZE POTENTIAL EXPOSURES.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS DESCRIBED
    IN MSDS WHEN HANDLING UNCONTAINED MATERIAL. WAREHOUSE STORAGE
