Emergency Procedures – No emergency procedures are expected to be necessary if material is used
under ordinary conditions as recommended.
Environmental Precautions – No known significant environmental effects.
Methods and Material for Containment and Clean up – Not applicable for product in purchased form.
Dust generated from sawing, sanding, drilling or routing may be vacuumed or shoveled
for recovery or disposal. Clean up and disposal activities should avoid the creation of
airborne dust.
Section 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for Safe Handling – No special precautions for handling product. Use good safety practices.
Conditions for Safe Storage – Avoid storage where exposure to water could occur or near an ignition
source. It is recommended to store the product in an area with temperature and humidity that
approximate end use conditions. Avoid hot and/or damp areas.
Section 8: Exposure Controls / PPE
Control Parameters
Exposure Limits, Particleboard- No data available
Exposure Limits, Wood Dust – ACGIH, 1 mg/m3 TWA
NIOSH, 1 mg/m3 TWA
OSHA, 15 mg/m3 total dust (5 mg/m3 respirable fraction)
Exposure Controls
Appropriate Engineering Controls – Adequate ventilation systems are needed to control
airborne contaminants below applicable threshold limit values. Due to the explosive
potential of wood dust when suspended in air, precautions should be taken during
sawing, sanding or machining of wood products to prevent sparks or other ignition
sources in ventilation equipment.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (if necessary)
Respiratory Protection – None needed under normal use. Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved
respiratory protection when sanding, sawing, or machining.
Eye Protection – Safety glasses with side shields recommended when re-manufacturing
or otherwise working with this product.
Protective Clothing – Other protective equipment such as puncture resistant gloves and
outer garments may be needed depending on how product is used and/or dust
conditions warrant.
