Skin Contact: Rinse wood dust off with water. DO NOT RUB. Once the skin is free of the wood dust, wash
thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical aid if severe irritation develops.
Ingestion: Rinse the victim's mouth out with water. Do not induce vomiting. If symptoms develop, call a physician.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point NA Lower Explosive Limit NA
Auto-ignition NA Upper Explosive Limit NA
Extinguishing Agents: Not applicable
Fire-Fighting Procedures: Fire from a separate fuel source may be intense enough to cause thermal
decomposition releasing toxic fumes and/or gases. Wear complete fire service protective equipment, including full-
face NIOSH and NFPA – approved self-containing breathing apparatus.
Fire and Explosion Hazard: Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the
presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. High airborne levels of wood dust may burn
rapidly in the air when exposed to an ignition source.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill or Leak Procedures: Not applicable.
Waste Disposal: See Section 13.
Other: Dust Deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture if
they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust
surfaces with compressed air). Nonsparking tools should be used.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage Conditions: Protect from physical damage. Maintain good housekeeping. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. Dry
powders can build static electricity charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations. Provide
adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres.
Caution: DO NOT BURN TREATED WOOD. Do not use pressure treated chips or sawdust as mulch. Whenever
possible, sawing or machining treated or untreated wood should be performed outdoors to avoid accumulations of
airborne wood dust. Wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking, using tobacco products, and/or using
restrooms.
NOTE: For plywood products only, provide adequate ventilation to reduce the possible buildup of formaldehyde
vapors.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: None normally required. When sawing or cutting treated or untreated wood, wear a
NIOSH approved N95 or better dust mask.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles when sawing or cutting.
Skin/Foot Protection: Leather or comparable gloves to prevent splinters. Long sleeve shirt, pants and steel toed
shoes when handling treated or untreated wood.
Ventilation: Saw, cut or machine wood outdoors or in well ventilated areas. Due to the explosive potential of dust
when suspended in air, precautions should be taken when sawing, sanding, or machining wood or wood products to
prevent sparks or other ignition sources. If required, use wet methods and/or explosion suppression systems to
reduce generation of dust. Local exhaust ventilation is recommended when sawing, sanding, or machining this
product. General dilution ventilation is recommended in processing and storage areas. Ventilation should be
sufficient to maintain inhalation exposures below OSHA PEL for particulates.
Other Protective Equipment: Wear ear plugs or muffs when using power tools.
NOTE: For plywood products only, if Formaldehyde vapor level exceeds OSHA PEL or STEL, then a NIOSH
approved respirator is required.
