Supplemental Safety and Health
THIS PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCT CONTAINS A SMALL AMOUNT OF POLYAROMATIC
    HYDROCARBONS WHICH HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO CAUSE CANCER & RESPIRATORY
    DAMAGE IN LABORATORY ANIMALS. MOUSE SKIN PAINTING STUDIES GIVE EVI
    DENCE OF SKIN CANCER.
*  Product Identification  *
Product ID:BUR ASPHALT
*  Composition/Information on Ingredients  *
Ingred Name:ASPHALT (PETROLEUM)
Other REC Limits:5 MG/M3
*  Hazards Identification  *
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NOOSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT
    (NOSE & THROAT) IRRITATION, NAUSEA, & DIZZINESS. SKIN: DERMATITIS,
    CONTACT W/HOT MATERIAL WILL CAUSE THERMAL BURNS, & INCREASE
    SENSITIVITY TO SUNBURN. EYES/INGESTIO N: IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: ASPHALT CAUSES RESPIRATORY DAMAGE,
    NAUSEA, & DIZZINESS. SKIN: DERMATITIS, CONTACT W/HOT MATERIAL
    CAUSES THERMAL BURNS, & ASPHALT FUMES INCREASES SENSITIVITY TO
    SUNBURN. EYES/INGESTION: IRR ITATION. HYDROGEN SULFIDE IS A HIGHLY
    TOXIC GAS, AT LOW CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE RAPID UNCONSCIOUSNESS &
    DEATH.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYE: FLUSH W/WATER. SKIN: IF HOT ASPHALT STRIKES AREA, DRENCH
    W/COLD WATER. APPLY ICED WATER/ICE PACKS TO BURNED AREA IF BURN
    REMOVE AS PHALT FROM BURN AREA. WASH COOL ASPHALTW/HOT SOAPY WATER.
    USE WATERLESS HAND CLEANER. INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING.
    INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE OXYGEN. SEEK MEDICAL
    ATTENTION.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point Method:COC
Extinguishing Media:FOAM, CO2, DRY CHEMICAL. WATER FOG MAY BE USED ON
    FLAT SURFACES SUCH AS ROADS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DON'T ENTER CONFINED SPACE W/O FULL TURNOUT
    GEAR INCLUDING SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. WATER MAY BE
    USED TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HOT ASPHALT MAY IGNITE FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
    ON CONTACT. DON'T USE WATER ON ASPHALT FIRE IN TANK/CONTAINERS,
    CAUSES VIOLENT ERUPTION/SPREADING OF BURNING ASPHALT.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:DIKE STORAGE TANKS TO PREVENT MATERIAL FROM
    ENTERING SEWERS OR WATERWAYS. USE APPROPRIATE CONTAINMENT (BOOMS,
    ETC.) TO PREVENT DISPERSION WHEN A SPILL IS OUT OF DIKED AREA OR
    HAS REACHED A WATERWAY.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:HYDROGEN SULFIDE IS EMITTED FROM
    HEATED ASPHALT & MAY ACCUMULATE IN STORAGE TANKS & BULK TRANSPORT
    COMPARTMENTS.
Other Precautions:THE ODOR OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE CANNOT BE USED AS AN
    INDICATOR OF CONCENTRATION OF THE GAS. ALWAYS EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN
    WORKING AROUND CLOSED BULK CONTAINERS OF ASPHALT. USE VENTILATION
    OR WORK UPWIND F ROM SOURCE OF FUMES OR VAPORS.
