4.1 First aid measures

General information

In case of contact with eyesDo not rub eye, should be rinsed with open eyelids under running water for at least 45 minutes. If possible,use isotonic eye wash (0.9% NaCl). Consult with your occupational health physician and/or eye specialist.

In case of skin contactDry cement powder must to be removed, then rinse thoroughly with water. In case of contact with wet cement the skin should be washed withplenty of water. Contaminated clothing, shoes, watch, etc. should be removed and thoroughly cleaned before next use.If symptoms appear (irritation), contact your doctor.

In case of inhalationGo to fresh air, breathe heavily to release dust from respiratory system as soon as possible.If symptoms appear (nausea, coughing, permanent irritation), contact your doctor.

After ingestionDo not make the injured person puke! If conscious, rinse mouth thoroughly and sip plenty of water, contact your doctor or the toxicologyinformation centre for help.

EyesCement (both dry and wet) may cause serious and permanent damage in case of contact with eyes.

Skin Prolonged contact with cement is irritating to the wet skin (due to sweating or humidity).Contact with wet skin may cause irritation, and might lead to dermatitis or severe skin lesions.For more information see (1).

InhalationRepeated and continuous inhalation over a longer period of time increases the risk of lung disease.

Environment Cement is environment friendly if used properly.

clean-up methods for spillage. Lifting cement bags may increase muscle rigidity, and may lead to muscle strain in your lower back, arms, shoulders and legs. Be careful at all times, lift in an adequate and suitable manner.

7.2 Conditions for safe storageStore in the original package.Bulk cement should be stored in a silo, which is dry (internal condensation to be minimized), waterproof, clean and protected against dirt.Entering a place used for bulk cement storage, like a silo, a tanker truck or other container without adequate safety preparations is prohibited,

Checking of water soluble chromium (VI) content:

is a best before date indicated on the cement bags / delivery documents. Until this date, the water soluble chromium (VI) content remains under 0.0002% (in accordance with the provisions of the REACH Regulation). The manufacturer’s instructions for storage must be observed. Inadequate (wet) or

8.2.2 Personal precautions, personal protective equipment

General safety and hygiene recommendations:

Avoid skin and eye contact. If possible, do not stand / kneel in fresh concrete or mortar during processing.

If necessary, wearing of alkaline resistant, waterproof protective clothing (e.g. Type C TYCHEM protective clothingcomplying with standards EN 368, EN 369, EN 463, EN 468, EN 1073-2 and EN 14126). Waterlogged or soiledclothing should be replaces immediately.

Eating, drinking or smoking is prohibited during work.

Hands should be washed during breaks and after work, and taking a shower in order to remove the adhering cement ishighly recommended. Contaminated clothing, footwear, watches, etc. to be cleaned before re-use.

Respiratory protection (S22 Do not breathe dust):

FFP-1 respirator complying with standard EN 149:2002 or 3M Half Facepiece reusable respirator equipped with 3M

Eye protection (S25 Avoid contact with eyes):

(complying with standard EN 166).

Skin protection (S24 Avoid contact with skin):

Wear waterproof, alkaline resistant gloves (complying with standards AQL 1,5 EN 374, EN 420:2003). Wear closedprotective clothing and closed footwear. Make sure, that you keep fresh mortar or concrete out of your shoes or boots.Using skincare after work is highly recommended.
