Cement is manufactured from naturally existing materials, mined from quarries and is processed
using energy provided by fuels. In addition to the above components, cement contains trace
amounts of other compounds, such as Free Calcium oxide (also known as free or quick lime), free
magnesium oxide, potassium and sodium sulfate compounds, chromium compounds, nickel
compounds, and other trace compounds.

Section 3: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION (continued)

Emergency Overview: Cement is a solid, grey, off white, or white odorless, powder. It is not
combustible or explosive. A single, short-term exposure to the dry powder
presents little or no hazard. Exposure of sufficient duration to wet cement, or to
dry cement on moist areas of the body, can cause serious, potentially
irreversible tissue (skin, eye, respiratory tract) damage due to chemical
(caustic) burns, including third degree burns.
Potential Health Effects:
Eye Contact: Airborne dust may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation. Eye
contact with large amounts of dry powder or with wet cement can cause
moderate eye irritation, chemical burns and blindness. Eye exposure requires
immediate first aid and medical attention to prevent significant damage to the
eye.
Skin Contact: Cement may cause dry skin, discomfort, irritation, severe burns, and dermatitis.
Burns: Exposure of sufficient duration to wet cement, or to dry cement on moist areas
of the body, can cause serious, potentially irreversible damage to skin, eye,
respiratory and digestive tracts due to chemical (caustic) burns, including third
degree burns. A skin exposure may be hazardous even if there is no pain or
discomfort.
Dermatitis: Cement is capable of causing dermatitis by irritation and allergy. Skin affected
by dermatitis may include symptoms such as, redness, itching, rash, scaling,
and cracking.
Irritant dermatitis is caused by sensitization to hexavalent chromium (chromate)
present in cement. The reaction can range from a mild rash to severe skin
ulcers. Persons already sensitized may react to the first contact with cement.
Others may develop allergic dermatitis after years of repeated contact with
cement.
Inhalation (acute): Breathing dust may cause nose, throat or lung irritation, including choking,
depending on the degree of exposure. Inhalation of high levels of dust can
cause chemical burns to the nose, throat and lungs.
Inhalation (chronic): Risk of injury depends on duration and level of exposure.
Silicosis: This product contain crystalline silica. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of
respirable crystalline silica from this product can cause silicosis, a serious
disabling and fatal lung disease. See Note to Physicians in Section 4 for further
information.
Carcinogenicity: Cement is not listed as a carcinogen by IARC or NTP; however, cement
contains trace amounts of crystalline silica and hexavalent chromium which are
classified by IARC and NTP as known human carcinogens.
Autoimmune Some studies show that exposure to respirable crystalline silica (without
silicosis)
Disease: or that the disease silicosis may be associated with the increase inncidence of
several autoimmune disorders such as scleroderma (thickening of the skin),
systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and diseases affecting the
kidneys.
Tuberculosis: Silicosis increases the risk of tuberculosis.
Renal Disease: Some studies show an increased incidenc of chronic kidney disease and end-
stage renal disease in workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica.
Ignestion: Do not ingest cement. Although ingestion of small quantities of cement is not
known to be harmful, large quantities can cause chemical burns in the mouth,
throat, stomach, and digestive tract.
Medical Condition Individuals with lung disease (e.g. bronchitis, emphysema, COPD,pulmonary
Aggravated by Exposure: disease) or sensitivity to hexavalent chromium can be aggravated by exposure.

Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, including under lids,
to remove all particles. Seek medical attention for abrasions and burns.
Skin Contact: Wash with cool water and a pH neutral soap or a mild skin detergent. Seek
medical attention for rash, burns, irritation, dermatitis, and prolonged
unprotected exposures to wet cement, cement mixtures or liquids from wet
cement.
Inhalation: move person to fresh air. Seek medical attention for discomfort or if coughing or
other symptoms do not subside.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, have person drink plenty of water. Seek
medical attention or contact poison control center immediately.
Note to Physician: The three types of silicosis include:
 Simple chronic silicosis – which result from long-term exposure (more
than 20 years) to low amounts of respirable crystalline silica. Nodules
of chronic inflammation and scarring provoked by the respirable
crystalline silica form in the lungs and chest lymph nodes. This disease
may feature breathlessness and may resemble chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD).
 Accelerated silicosis – occurs after exposure to larger amounts of
respirable crystalline silica over a shorter period of time (5-15 years).
Inflammation, scarring, and symptoms progress faster in accelerated
silicosis than in simple silicosis.
 Acute silicosis – result from short-term exposure to very large amounts
of respirable crystalline silica. The lungs become very inflamed and
may fill with fluid, causing severe shortness of breath and low blood
oxygen levels.
Progressive massive fibrosis may occur in simple or accelerated silicosis, but is
more common in the accelerated form. Progressive massive fibrosis results
from severe scarring and leads to the destruction of normal lung structures.

related hazard. A SCBA

appropriate for
surrounding fire. Combustion Products: None

Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

General: Place spilled material into a container. Avoid actions that cause the cement to
become airborne. Avoid inhalation of cement and contact with skin. Wear
appropriate protective equipment as described in Section 8. Scrape wet cement
and place in container. Allow material to dry or solidity before disposal. Do not
wash cement down sewage and drainage system or into bodies of water (e.g.
streams).
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of cement according to Federal, State, Provincial and Local
regulations.

Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

General: Keep bulk and bagged cement dry until used. Stack bagged material in a
secure manner to prevent falling. Bagged cement is heavy and poses risks
such as sprains and strains to the back, arm, shoulders and legs during lifting
and mixing. Handle with care and use appropriate control measures.
Engulfment hazard. To prevent burial or suffocation, do not enter a confined
space, such as a silo, bin, bulk truck, or the storage container or vessel that
stores or contains cement. Cement can buildup or adhere to the walls of a
confined space. The cement can release, collapse or fall unexpectedly.
Properly ground all pneumatic conveyance systems. The potential exist for
static build-up and static discharge when moving cement powders through a
plastic, non-conductive, or non-grounded pneumatic conveyance system. The
static discharge may result in damage to equipment and injury to workers.
Usage: Cutting, crushing or grinding hardened cement, concrete or other crystalline
silica-bearing materials will release respirable crystalline silica. Use all
appropriate measures of dust control or suppression, and Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) described in Section 8 below.
Housekeeping: Avoid actions that cause the cement to become airborne during clean-up such
as dry sweeping or using compressed air. Use HEPA vacuum or thoroughly
wet with water to clean-up dust. Use PPE described in Section 8 below.
Storage Temperature: Unlimited Storage Pressure: Unlimited
Clothing: Promptly remove and launder clothing that is dusty or wet with cement.
Thoroughly wash skin after exposure to dust or wet cement.

Section 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation or other suppression methods
to maintain dust level below exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection: Under ordinary conditions no respiratory protection is required. Wear a NIOSH
approved respirator that is properly fitted and is in good condition when
exposed to dust above exposure limits.
Eye Protection: Wear ANSI approved glasses or safety goggles when handling dust or wet
cement to prevent contact with eyes. Wearing contact lenses when using
cement, under dusty conditions, is not recommended.
Skin Protection: Wear gloves, boot covers and protective clothing impervious to water to prevent
skin contact. Do not rely on barrier creams, in place of impervious gloves.
Remove clothing and protective equipment that becomes saturated with wet
cement and immediately wash exposed areas.
