Page 6 of 11 Safety Data Sheet Environmental exposure controls: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. Hygiene Wash Clean water should always be readily available for skin and(emergency)eye washing. Periodically wash areas contacted by Portland Cement with a pH neutral soap and clean, uncontaminated water. If clothing becomes saturated with Portland Cement,garments should be removed and replaced with clean,dry clothing. Remove protective equipment and saturated clothing before entering eating areas. PPE Eye/face protection: To prevent eye contact,wear safety glasses with side shields,safety goggles or face shields when handling dust or wet cement.Wearing contact lenses when working with cement is not recommended. Hand protection: Use impervious,waterproof,and alkali-resistant gloves. Do not rely on barrier creams in place of impervious gloves. Do not get Portland Cement inside gloves. Recommended material: Nitrile® Body protection: Use impervious,waterproof,abrasion and alkali-resistant boots and protective long-sleeved and long-legged clothing to protect the skin from contact with wet Portland Cement.To reduce foot and ankle exposure,wear impervious boots that are high enough to prevent Portland Cement from getting inside them. Do not get Portland Cement inside boots,shoes, or gloves. Remove clothing and protective equipment that becomes saturated with cement and immediately wash exposed areas of the body. Other skin protection: Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved. Footwear and other gear to protect the skin should be approved by a specialist before handling this product. Respiratory protection: Use a properly fitted,particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels,the hazards of the product,and assigned protection factor of the selected respirator. Section .
