SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview:

Portland cement/flyash intergrind is a light gray powder that poses little immediate hazard. A single short term exposure to the dry
powder is not likely to cause serious harm. However, exposure of sufficient duration to wet portland cement can cause serious,
potentially irreversible tissue (skin or eye) destruction in the form of chemical (caustic) burns, including third degree burns. The same
type of tissue destruction can occur if wet or moist areas of the body are exposed for sufficient duration to dry portland cement.

Potential Health Effects:

• Relevant routes of exposure are:

Eye contact, skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion.

Effects Resulting From EYE CONTACT:

Exposure to airborne dust may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation.

Eye contact by larger amounts of dry powder or splashes of wet portland cement/flyash intergrind may cause effects ranging from
moderate eye irritation to chemical burns and blindness. Such exposures require immediate first aid (see Section 4) and medical
attention to prevent significant damage to the eye.

Effects Resulting From SKIN CONTACT:

Discomfort or pain cannot be relied upon to alert a person to a hazardous skin exposure. Consequently, the only effective means
of avoiding skin injury or illness involves minimizing skin contact, particularly contact with wet cement. Exposed persons may not
feel discomfort until hours after the exposure has ended and significant injury has occurred.

Exposure to dry portland cement/flyash intergrind may cause drying of the skin with consequent mild irritation or more significant
effects attributable to aggravation of other conditions. Dry portland cement/flyash intergrind contacting wet skin or exposure to
moist or wet portland cement/flyash intergrind may cause more severe skin effects including thickening, cracking, or fissuring of
the skin. Prolonged exposure can cause severe skin damage in the form of (caustic) chemical burns.

Some individuals may exhibit an allergic response upon exposure to portland cement/flyash intergrind, possibly due to trace
amounts of chromium. The response may appear in a variety of forms ranging from a mild rash to severe skin ulcers. Persons
already sensitized may react to their first contact with the product. Other persons may first experience this effect after years of
contact with portland cement/flyash intergrind products.

Effects Resulting From INHALATION:

Portland cement/flyash intergrind contains crystalline silica. Prolonged exposure to respirable free crystalline silica may
aggravate other lung conditions. It also may cause delayed lung injury including silicosis, a disabling and potentially fatal lung
disease, and/or other diseases. (Also see “Carcinogenic Potential” below.)

Exposure to portland cement/flyash intergrind may cause irritation to the moist mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and upper
respiratory system. It may also leave unpleasant deposits in the nose.

Effects Resulting From INGESTION:

Although small quantities of dust are not known to be harmful, ill effects are possible if larger quantities are consumed. Portland
cement should not be eaten.

• Carcinogenic Potential:

Portland cement is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, OSHA, or IARC. It may, however, contain trace amounts of substances
listed as carcinogens by these organizations.

Crystalline silica, a potential trace level contaminant in portland cement/flyash intergrind, is now classified by IARC as a known
human carcinogen (Group 1). NTP has characterized respirable silica as “reasonably anticipated to be [a] carcinogen”.

• Medical Conditions That May Be Aggravated By Inhalation Or Dermal Exposure:

Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases.

Unusual (hyper) sensitivity to hexavalent chromium (chromium+6) salts.

Call physician immediately.

Skin:

Wash skin with cool water and pH-neutral soap or a mild detergent intended for use on skin. Seek medical treatment in all cases of
prolonged exposure to wet cement, cement mixtures, liquids from fresh cement products, or prolonged wet skin exposure to dry
cement.

Inhalation Of Airborne Dust:

Remove to fresh air. Seek medical help if coughing and other symptoms do not subside. (“Inhalation” of gross amounts of portland
cement requires immediate medical attention.)

Ingestion:

Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, have the victim drink plenty of water and call a physician immediately.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Eye Protection:

When engaged in activities where cement dust or wet cement or concrete could contact the eye, wear safety glasses with side shields
or goggles. In extremely dusty environments and unpredictable environments, wear unvented or indirectly vented goggles to avoid eye
irritation or injury. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with portland cement/flyash intergrind or fresh cement products.

Skin Protection:

Prevention is essential to avoiding potentially severe skin injury. Avoid contact with unhardened (wet) portland cement/flyash intergrind
products. If contact occurs, promptly wash affected area with soap and water. Where prolonged exposure to unhardened portland
cement/flyash intergrind products might occur, wear impervious clothing and gloves to eliminate skin contact. Where required, wear
boots that are impervious to water to eliminate foot and ankle exposure.

Do not rely on barrier creams; barrier creams should not be used in place of gloves.

Periodically wash areas contacted by dry portland cement/flyash intergrind or by wet cement or concrete fluids with a pH-neutral soap.
Wash again at the end of work. If irritation occurs, immediately wash the affected area and seek treatment. If clothing becomes
saturated with wet concrete, it should be removed and replaced with clean dry clothing.

Respiratory Protection:

Avoid actions that cause dust to become airborne. Use local or general ventilation to control exposures below applicable exposure
limits.

Use NIOSH/MSHA-approved (under 30 CFR 11) or NIOSH-approved (under 42 CFR 84 after July 10, 1998) respirators in poorly
ventilated areas, if an applicable exposure limit is exceeded, or when dust causes discomfort or irritation.

Ventilation:

Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to control exposure within applicable limits.

Other Important Information:

Portland cement/flyash intergrind should only be used by knowledgeable persons. A key to using the product safely requires the user
to recognize that portland cement/flyash intergrind chemically reacts with water, and that some of the intermediate products of this
reaction (that is, those present while a portland cement/flyash intergrind product is “setting”) pose a far more severe hazard than does
portland cement/flyash intergrind itself.

While the information provided in this material safety data sheet is believed to provide a useful summary of the hazards of portland
cement/flyash intergrind as it is commonly used, the sheet cannot anticipate and provide all of the information that might be needed in
